Electric scooters and motorcycles are gaining popularity in Europe thanks to their convenience and practicality. In the past, we’ve seen lots of automakers venture into the lightweight e-mobility scene. In 2022, for example, Bugatti unveiled its sporty little electric scooter based on the Chiron hypercar. Meanwhile in 2023, McLaren’s Lavoie electric scooter made headlines thanks to its sporty and elegant design.
This time around, it seems that yet another automotive and motorcycle giant is eyeing a grand entrance into the e-scooter world. BMW is no stranger to electric two-wheelers, as it has a number of e-bikes and electric scooters such as the CE-04 in its roster. It recently filed a patent for a new folding electric scooter, much like the e-scooters we’ve been seeing on European roads for quite some time now. As of the moment, the scooter doesn't have a name just yet, and it’s filed under “Electric Small-Sized Vehicle,” per the patent.
