BMW C evolution review

For me, with a scooter as capable as this, the only real downer is the lack of noise. If you can simulate engine braking and a throttle cable, surely you can simulate the sound of an engine.

THE C evolution is loosely based on the chassis from the new C600 Sport but it isn't just a battery and electric motor bolted into the C600 rolling chassis; it's packed with loads of interesting technical features and slightly unconventional ways of doing things. Is unconventional BMW at their best? I think so.

BMW claim performance is on-par with their petrol-powered scooters. Petrol? To power a scooter? How crude. The C evolution is packing 3 battery modules, with 12 cells per module. I've got 36 cells, baby with 8 kWH of storage and and 35kW of peak power. Confused? Well, you might be, but get used to how many lightbulbs your two-wheeler can illuminate rather than how many carts of apples it can pull, because in a world of 'intelligent recuperation', horsepower is so very 19th century.
