MINI Scooter E Concept's unveiled

The BMW Group extends the MINI brand further today in London by showing a range of concept electric scooters, currently called the MINI Scooter E Concept, with funky retro styling based on the MINI.

BMW say "It’s not just a two-wheeler in MINI Design - this scooter meets the needs of the young urban generation: Spontaneous, flexible, CO2-free mobility. Using a smart phone as the ignition key, the concept integrates infotainment, communication and navigation systems. The MINI Scooter E Concept is powered by an electric motor which can be recharged at any conventional power socket using an on-board charging cable."

Anyway heres a few pic's of the funky scooters.
