Title: BMW to make electric motorcycles
Post by: Richard230 on June 09, 2011, 09:06:05 PM
According to an article by Alan Cathcart on page 22 of the July issue of Motorcyclist magazine, BMW is "committed to electric-drive technology, and anticipates being the first major motorcycle manufacturer to market an e-bike".

Mr. Cathcart interviewed Hendrik von Kuenheim, the president of BMW Motorrad, who had this to say about BMW's EV plans: "Within three years, BMW will become the premier provider of electric vehicles". The company is fully committed to this, and there will be spin-offs for the motorcycle division".
