Back to the Zukunft!

Back to 2008, if I remember correctly. This design for a possible BMW 'C2' was, as it says in German, much better looking than the C1! I got it from the Peraves guys after it appeared in a German magazine. They added the speech bubble in English and the red pointer indicating the Monotracer-style outriggers. As is often the case with hub centre steered fantasy machines, there's no allowance for decent steering lock....The last German sentence says 'possibly also with electric drive', which was prescient. The following year BMW showed their fully operational electric C1E being driven around Munich by an attractive young woman. That prototype was a lot sleeker than the original C1, but not as sleek as this, and only a single seater. Then, sadly, they dropped the whole notion of decent aerodynamics and rider protection and built the Cevolution maxiscooter instead! PNB
An action photo of the C1E can be seen in this folder and the 2minute video of the helmetless, seat-belted young lady riding it, back in 2009, can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0OcovA9CpQn
