For years, discussions about the use and development of electrical vehicles have been ongoing. With many people passionate believers in the use of electrical technology like this to create a more sustainable environment, it’s good news to see companies such as BMW being so proactive in finding solutions. Indeed, they have a new concept on the way: an electric motorcycle that could become a template for bikes in the many years to come.
The Motorrad Vision DC Roadster is the most exciting electric bike that we have seen from BMW so far. With a few years of hard work moving to this point, the Roadster looks like it could be the pathway that BMW need to head down if they wish to break into this lucrative market. The bike, free from specifications at the moment, is not presently coming with a release date or any kind of information about when it could move from concept to reality.
Still, it’s probably the most exciting and complete take on the electric bike that the BMW firm has managed to produce so far. Ever since 2014 and their release of the C Evolution electric motor scooter, BMW has been making gradual but important progress towards a more impressive electric vehicle.
The C Evolution was capable of doing as much as 100 miles per charge, with a top speed of 80mph. However, it’s massive expenses – around $14,000 – made it an unaffordable option for many. That being said, it proved to be a vital educational step for the Motorrad group in BMW.
Ever since then, though, moves have been afoot in the background to produce something even more impressive. This new bike looks like it could be the best step forward, after the likes of the Motorrad Next 100 in 2016 and the Motorrad Concept Link, which was shown off in 2017.
The 2019s offering, though, looks like it could be the most exciting one yet. Stylish and effective, it looks like the kind of bike that we see in sci-fi movies. Compare it to the 2016 and 2017 models, though, and it’s far less over the top in terms of the design. If you wish to see a vehicle come to life with plenty of charisma but nowhere near the ludicrous design features that old models looked to have, then the Roadster might be the bike you wish to keep an eye on.
Can we expect to see the Roadster soon?
It’s really unlikely that this will move from concept to reality anytime soon, though. However, unlike the other concept models we have soon, this does genuinely look to have a good chance of making it from concept to reality.
Excitement is high within BMW and the biking community to see what comes next for this important part of their electrical bike development calendar. While it might need plenty of work to get to the right stage in terms of cost and efficiency, the Roadster could just be the golden ticket that BMW were looking for to make their mark on the industry.
