BMW has been developing motorised scooters and electric bicycles as part of its sponsorship of the 2012 London Olympics.
The little electric two-wheeler is called the BMW Pedelec and has a powered top speed of 18 mph, which can be increased by pedalling.
It’s a fold-up model much like a traditional pushed scooter so that it can be easily carried on transport.
While BMW has been developing its Concept C as a large, touring electric scooter, the Pedelec will actually go into production.
BMW marketing boss, Ian Robertson says:“We see this as a growing market, and as well as having 200 in use at the Games, we will take them to market.
