In 2011 BMW Motorrad took its first public steps towards an electric maxi-scooter. The E-Scooter prototype, revealed in July, used its aluminium battery casing as the chassis, recharged from a normal wall socket and promised more than 100 km of urban range. In September the Concept e design study at the Frankfurt IAA dressed the idea in BMW i-style bodywork with yellow accents, see-through battery covers and camera-and-screen mirrors, alongside the launch of BMW's Urban Mobility division. The project led to the 2012 C evolution prototype and the production C evolution of 2014.
