BMW E-Power Roadster concept
« on: December 10, 2019, 06:13:36 PM »
BMW continues to come up with an electric motorcycle design that their customers will love.  This is a nice try, but does seem to be a work in progress.  Not quite up to Energica's production electric motorcycle standards, though.  Gotta keep on trying:  ;)

Generally, BMW comes up with some nice, if a bit quirky, design concepts.

Plunking a Tupperware tub in the eye-catching center is NOT my idea of cool, quirky, edgy design! But who knows, maybe it'll float?

I've owned Beemers and they are well engineered and thought out motorcycles....  I am glad to see that BMW is experimenting further with electric....  AND I would be very surprised if the finished product looked anything like the test mule....  BMW just doesn't make mistakes like that....
