Motorbiker.org reports that the BMW C Evolution electric scooter is selling well in France and is meeting BMW's sales expectations:

Unfortunately, it appears (for some unknown reason to me) that all other electric motorcycle brand sales numbers remain a mystery and are apparently a big secret that only responds to speculation - unless there is a government recall and fortunately there have been few of those lately.

That is one BIG scooter or one very small normal sized man


201 scooters sold

The French go crazy for maxiscooters.  I doubt they will see the same success per capita elsewhere.

That's about the size of a 650cc Suzuki Bergman

By all accounts the C has done ok here in the UK, with only a handful left available, dunno if thats only because very few units were sent over though.
I took a good look at one at the NEC bike show, and (as someone who does not like scooters at all) I was reasonably impressed.

It looks like France is really getting into the fast-charging outlet thing.  At this rate they will soon have more charging stations than gas pumps.

Scooter doesn't always mean "Moped"  ;-)

Oh, my eyes.

Looks like one good road bump would rip the underside off the fairing...  Is this classed as extreme scootering?

I love these Japanese creations!
