Description

The BMW C1 is an enclosed scooter manufactured by Bertone for BMW. Compared to a conventional scooter, the C1 offered extra safety features and protection from the elements. The rider would sit in a car-type seat (with a four-point seat-belt) and adopt a feet-forward posture. Introduced in 2000, it was available throughout Europe, the C1 was discontinued in 2002 History BMW's intention with the C1 was to appeal to car drivers in crowded city streets. The idea was to offer the convenience of a scooter or motorbike but without many of the associated dangers or hassles. The C1's most innovative design feature was its emphasis on safety. However, being secured by a seat belt could make slow speed handling and manoeuvring rather tricky until experience is acquired. After selling 10,614 units in 2001, BMW only sold 2,000 units in 2002, and ceased production of the C1 in October 2002. • Anti-lock brakes ( ABS) • Fun Audio System' (music system, volume linked to speed) • Interior reading light • BMW alarm system • Lockable glove box with power socket • Heated grips and/or seat • Headlights tilt angle adjustment (for different payloads) • Windscreen wiper with washer fluid.
