Aesthetically, I like it too.duke63 wrote:Electric scooter/bike. I quite like this...
However, from a practical perspective it seems to me that a faired and mudguarded style (ala the iconic Vespa format) is an infinitely more appropriate design for UK daily use vehicle.?
As well as affording a little weather protection, integral room for storage, secure battery location etc...
But that looks like fun

I'm pretty certain it would have to have a mudguard on it for it to be sold in the UK.

Re: BMW - TVS joint venture
Does the skateboard come as standard equipment??
That's actually a fairly odd photograph.... there's a cartoon of a dog pi$$ing in the background, and it looks like the rider has a potted plant in his backpack...?

Uk weather for 5 months of the year isn’t good for commuting on two wheels.
We were in Barcelona a few years ago in November and of course there it’s perfect for commuting in two wheels all year round.

Wouldn't need the backpack, if it had Vespa-style underseat storage.D41 wrote:... like the rider has a potted plant in his backpack...?

Pretty certain the bike itself is a computer rendered image and placed in a real life setting..D41 wrote:Does the skateboard come as standard equipment??

Happiness is not a destination. It is a way of life.

Re: BMW - TVS joint venture
An exercise in aesthetics over application.
Ettore would see that as perverse imho.
Even the seat looks like it was designed with a nod to the battery range.?
