The face of the BMW Motorrad E has finally been revealed after being teased for months. BMW's latest concept sits on two wheels and is powered by electricity. The Motorrad E has a futuristic and fierce look reminiscent of BMW's new i-series concept cars.
The BMW Motorrad E is powered solely by electricity and has a maximum range of 62 miles. Unlike electric vehicles that need a special charger, the Motorrad E can be charged from a household outlet with a top up required every three hours. The frame of the Motorrad E is designed to be strong enough to take on highways and rough roads. Speed specs have not yet been revealed, but the Motorra E would at least need to be able to hit 55 MPH to safely travel on American highways.
