c1 going electric

Now that Mercedes-Benz has officially announced the all-electric SLS AMG supercar, it is rumored that BMW will come up with an all-electric scooter for urban areas. According to Spanish magazine Solo Scooter, BMW will launch an electric scooter based on the C1 in 2011. While the semi-enclosed C1 scooter failed to draw any buyers, the electric version with a top speed of 75mph and a range of 155 miles may be able to draw buyers.
