BMW Motorrad Concept C Scooter

What's new from BMW? Wow, that's a moving target! How about "what's new AND different?" Apart from a brief, Europe-only flirtation with scooters resulting in the C-1 Executive back in the early 2000's, BMW has staked it's claim to two-wheeled fame with motorcycles. Great motorcycles to be sure, but generally not the kind that are typically used for commuting or exclusively for urban riding. Until now! The remarkable Concept C scooter offers the seating position and level of operational simplicity favored by scooter lovers, but with high-tech features not available anywhere - not even on BMW's high-end touring bikes.

So if you think BMW only makes touring bikes for old men, you should think again - BMW has! The upcoming Concept C is everything that current scooters are and then some! Agile, dynamic performance with features found nowhere else in the scooter (or even motorcycle) world. Does your bike have a traffic monitor using a rear-facing camera? Does your bike have LED headlights? Check it out:

...and what about the "Mini Scooter"? Well an electric scooter seems like a cool idea too. But who knows when or if the E Concept will show up in the US? We can only hope... meanwhile, here's a fun video about the Mini Scooter E Concept:
