Two Years Riding my BMW C Evolution and 20,000 km

20/06/2014 - 20/06/2016 That's 2 years now
(Last year's post: http://www.myelifenow.com/2015/07/already-one-year-with-bmw-c-evolution.html)

This year I used only my C Evoultion to commute, no LEAF at all even in winter






During last fall, with my son's GoPro, we made some onboard videos, in Paris, on the freeway, and that was fun




More videos on my Youtube Channel : https://www.youtube.com/user/chris75sf/videos

I also got my grand father sitting on the scooter for a rare fun picture :)

Many colleagues are interested in buying one, and the price is still the problem for them, I usually answer that I did not have the money to buy it back then and got a loan and pay 252 EUR per month over 6 years; I do not regret it ...

I often tell them to get it used: You can now get one with 3,000 km for 2/3 of the retail price: It's a very good deal !

Ready for summer now :)

15,000 km Riding the BMW C Evolution

Just a short post to tell you that I have been riding a BMW C Evolution for 15,000 km now, in a year and 3 months

German can make really good EVs if they want to ;)

Few pictures over the last months below


Last night, a stop after my daily commute at the quiet big lake of Bois de Boulogne, Paris

Next to a T-Max 530 at work : nothing to be ashamed of

BMW C Evolution Electric Scooter Received ! It is just great ...

I just received my New BMW C Evolution, after a little month and a half of wait, at lunch time yesterday

I met my wife at the BMW Motorrad dealer in Boulogne, and after the paperwork, we switched vehicle - she nicely drove the LEAF back home - and I went back to work with it :-)







The bike is amazing as I already wrote several times, but you have to test drive it to really understand the power and acceleration it is capable of ... I am blowed away !

Back to work for the afternoon, I had a hard time concentrating on SAP development ...

During the coffee break, I showed it to my colleagues and did a little demo on the parking lot; "It does accelerate well"

and I came back home, passing in front of BMW France HQ , nearby my customer

Back home, I top off the not so much depleted battery pack, plugging my LEAF EVSE (mounted on the wall), which has the same J1772 plug and provides 2000W at 10A

This morning, my daughter and my son had a go with daddy, not too fast for her - still to young to hold well enough - and pretty fast with him, and they were both amazed by it;
We went to Paris, for a pretty long ride, and the battery really holds very well, even with two persons and lots of full throttle accelerations  ... very promising ...

I suggest you test ride it if you can, this could change your point of view on EVs; I think it is safe to say that it is the Tesla of scooters right now !

Robert enjoys his Tesla Model S rides a lot !


"My first experience driving the hair raising, breathtaking, game changing car from Tesla Motors. During high speed cornering some profanities were expressed but I've beeped them. I apologise in advance."

The Go Motorboard is out in sunny Paris

The sun is back here in Paris and yesterday we took the Go Motorboard 2000X out for a ride

Kids love it, and they can still be two on it













2 compasses are better than one




and back in the LEAF
