The BMW Concept Link is a zero-emission connected scooter.
BMW Motorrad has showcased the BMW Concept Link at the 2017 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este. BMW claims that the scooter is not based on today’s concepts, but rather meets the basic functionality needs, the technical architecture and the digital reality of today’s users.
The BMW Concept Link is powered by an electric motor which draws its power from large flat energy packs stored in the underfloor of the scooter and the compact drive on the rear wheel. It gets a low-slung, stretched body while the flat seat combined with the diagonally rising front section creates a modern yet distinctive silhouette.
