You know, I’ve taken a look at my car more than once and, despite the fact that it gets a decent twenty eight miles per gallon highway, I’ve said that most of the time, I don’t need the whole car to do things. I live maybe five miles from the nearest post office. Almost ten from the nearest video store and about twelve from the movie theater. Don’t get me started how far I have to go for a decent plate of Olive Garden. I can’t just walk or bicycle everywhere, but I don’t need the cargo space my car affords half the time.
But the boys at BMW have apparently heard my lament, because they’ve come up with the half-car, half-motor scooter C1-E. This all electric vehicle doesn’t require a helmet to drive (at least in Europe) because of its roll cage and reinforced front nose.
I doubt you’ll be able to get this in the US any time soon, but it’s still pretty awesome, either way.
