Well you have to admit, BMW knows how to market their products - when they want to.   ;)

Engineers at Honda built an EV scooter prototype for marathons in Japan in the mid 2000s. Later they replaced the one-off prototype with a modified EV Neo.

To be fair to Zero, its my understanding they had approached the organisers of the London Marathon a few years ago, but nothing came of it possibly due to the pull out.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear that BMW paid the organization a few bucks for the privilege of a prominent position in the Marathon.  ;)
