First BMW C Evolution Rolls Off The Production Line

BMW-C-evolutionThe first production model of the BMW C evolution, the all-new electric scooter, rolled off the assembly line at the BMW Motorrad plant in Berlin-Spandau.

The new BMW C evolution is powered by a drivetrain swing arm with liquid-cooled permanent magnet synchronous motor via a toothed belt and ring gearing. The rated power output is 11 kW (15 hp), with a peak output of 35 kW (47 hp). This enables the C evolution to achieve a top speed of 120 km/h (75 mph, electronically limited) and gives it better acceleration than some maxi scooters powered by engines with displacements of 600 cc or more.

The 8 kWh capacity of the air-cooled lithium-ion high-voltage battery allows the two-wheeler to cover a range of up to 100 kilometers (62 miles) before it needs to be charged from any domestic mains supply. When plugged in to a standard 220V domestic socket with a 12A charge current, recharging fully from empty takes around 4 hours (with 220V / 16A = 3 h).

The Li-ion storage modules are the same as those in the BMW i3, which will be supplied from the BMW plant in Dingolfing. Three of these modules, each containing 12 battery cells are packaged in an aluminum die-cast housing. During installation of the high-voltage battery, the Berlin plant benefited from the experience of colleagues in the BMW Dingolfing and Leipzig, where the BMW i3 comes off the line. This includes the high safety standards in dealing with the high-voltage technology.

The highlights at a glance:

•   Innovative electric drive system via drivetrain swing arm with liquid-cooled permanent magnet synchronous motor, toothed belt and ring gearing.
•   Rated power output 11 kW (homologated according to ECE R85) and 35 kW peak output.
•   Maximum torque 72 Nm (53 lb-ft).
•   Top speed 120 km/h (75 mph).
•   Acceleration 0 – 50 km/h (31 mph) in 2.7 s.
•   Acceleration 0 – 100 km/h (62 mph) in 6.2 s.
•   High range of 100 kilometers (62 miles) in practical operation.
•   4 ride modes available to choose from: Road, Eco Pro, Sail and Dynamic.
•   Reversing aid for supremely easy maneuvering.
•   Torque Control Assist (TCA).
•   High-voltage battery with high capacity of 8 kWh and innovative air cooling.
•   Intelligent recuperation when coasting and when braking.
•   Recharged from the domestic mains supply.
•   Takes just 4 h to charge to 100 % capacity at 220V / 12A (220V / 16A = 3 h).
•   Synergies with BMW Automobile harnessed during development.
•   Electrical safety to passenger car standards.
•   Hybrid chassis with agile handling due to low center of gravity.
•   Powerful braking system with ABS.
•   Large TFT color display.
•   LED daytime running light and sidelight.
