Li-Ion Powered MINI Electric Scooter :

MINI is taking the brand to new places with the MINI Scooter E concept. A fully electric scooter with an integrated motor in the hub of the rear wheel and a retractable power cord. The scooter’s has iPhone which docks into the scooter itself and all the normal scooter display functions will be there along with entertainment and navigation options. It has a range of around 60 miles on full charge with “acceptable” recharge times. It is expected that the price would be around € 2500.

The scooter (which will come in three varieties) is powered by a lithion-ion battery and an electric brushless motor that can be charged using a standard power outlet. The three versions differ in color scheme and some design details:

* There’s the 60’s mod style modeled after the Who’s cult film Quadrophenia
* A BRG version that’s full of traditional MINI cues
* A MINI E version with bright yellow/green accents
