Four years after being released in Europe, the U.S. market will finally get the BMW C evolution electric scooter for 2018.
The C evolution will reach 0-31 miles per hour in 2.8 seconds and has a riding range of 99 miles, with standard ABS, torque control assist, and reverse assist with four riding modes—Road, Eco Pro, Dynamic, and Sail.
That should make the C evolution an attractive proposition for inner city commuters—ride to work, charge over the day and ride home for an MSRP of $13,750.
We’ll be looking forward to testing this new-for-U.S. BMW soon in Cycle News.
