Munich. BMW Motorrad will be guesting at the “BMW Haus am Kurfürstendamm” in Berlin between May and September of this year, when it presents its temporary exhibition entitled 'Progress has Tradition'. From the classic R nineT boxer motorcycle to the futuristic C evolution electric maxi-scooter, the exhibition will give an international audience a fascinating insight into the world of the Munich motorcycle manufacturers whose heart and production facilities are in Berlin.
BMW R nineT – pure motorcycling
Purist, powerful and naked – this is the character of the BMW R nineT. The elemental nature of the flat-twin boxer engine combined with a visual appeal derived from several eras of motorcycling merges with innovative engineering and a modular design to offer riders maximum customisation options. Reduced down to the bare essentials, the BMW R nineT – or nineT for short – has the character of a custom bike with emotional appeal to spare.
The exhibition also places the focus on the wide range of customisation options available. Presented in an authentic workshop scenario, the flair of the café racer scene is palpable. The roadster exhibition is rounded off by the new Belstaff programme, entitled 'Professionals for BMW'.
BMW C evolution. Dynamic electromobility.
The C evolution stands for riding enjoyment and dynamics on two
wheels.
BMW Motorrad is opening a new chapter in its history
with what is right now the only electric maxi scooter in the premium
segment. With a nominal power output of 11 kW, peak power of 35 kW (48
hp) and a top speed of 120 km/h, the
C evolution is a
full-fledged road vehicle. The torque of 72 Nm is available virtually
from standstill and generates a thrilling level of acceleration. The
BMW
C evolution is the ideal companion in town centres, thanks
to its manoeuvrability and agile handling, four riding modes and
reverse assist. With a real range of
100 km and a charge time of
only four hours, this electric scooter is inarguably suitable for
everyday use.
The future of mobility in urban centres is now close enough to touch – certainly, at the exhibition, visitors are invited to take their place on the seat of some of the vehicles and sample how they feel – and they can also witness the impressive high-voltage storage battery of the BMW C evolution.
Guided test rides are also currently being planned for the new electric scooter (which are even available for A1 licence holders), for instance as part of a works tour in the motorcycle production facilities of the BMW plant in Berlin Spandau.
