The new C evolution scooters from BMW will be unveiled at the Mondial de L'Automobile, in Paris next month.

The two models are the Long Range version and the European version, which meets the requirements for the A1 driving licence. Both feature new generation batteries, as used in the current BMW i3 electric car, significantly extending the range to 99 and 62 miles (160/100 kilometers) respectively.

A new charging cable with a smaller diameter is now included as standard. New optional accessories such as the smartphone cradle also mean there are now many more ways to customize the BMW C evolution.
