The C-1. a fully enclosed electric scooter
« on: March 01, 2012, 10:54:16 PM »

Here is the C-1, whose claim-to-fame is that it is stabilized by gyros. Plus, at a price of 15,000 Pounds, seems pretty cheap. I wouldn't put too much money on this thing being financially successful though (in my opinion), as fully enclosed two-wheel vehicles have a very limited consumer market. Here it is:

I might add that BMW may not be happy about this name, as they used to build a partially-enclosed IC scooter called the C-1 (which never sold well) and they also built a single EV prototype using their C-1 chassis and the Vectrix power train a few years ago.
