The BMW E-Scooter will be released this September in Germany. Two smaller versions of the scooter will also be released at the same time as the original, though they will not be motorized. The BMW E-Scooter was designed to be space-efficient and can be folded for storage purposes. Its design was intended to be minimalistic with a matte black paint job and BMW branding on the front giving it its modest look.
Weighing in at 9kg, the scooter features a 150-watt motor that is mounted on the rear wheel. The motor has a lithium-ion battery that can bring the scooter up to 12 mph. The E-Scooter can be used for approximately 7.5 miles before the battery is drained and has a price point of $895 USD while the smaller versions are $225 and $135 USD.
