MINI, electric scooter at the Paris International Motor Show

Could MINI stand by and watch while its most suitable competitor, Smart, even silently enters the two-wheel drive sector? I answer you: no. The English car manufacturer has announced that it too will present an electric scooter, on the same wooden boards as the Paris Motor Show next October.

So, two car manufacturers, who, with great fanfare, are trying to make their way into the hearts of the most hardened scooter riders. With the habit of non-polluting. In fact, even for MINI, the choice of propulsion fell on electric propulsion, with zero harmful emissions. And even in this case, we only have a few sketches.

For the occasion, MINI has apparently prepared three variants of the same bicycle, designed differently for different finishes. What is certain is that, in accordance with the vintage vocation of the car manufacturer, deeply linked to its atavistic nature, the MINI electric scooter will be made with a retro bodywork.

Suitable, therefore, for a new class of users: ecological, technological and fashion-addicted. We make no judgments whatsoever, at least not before having carefully examined what the outcome of all this MINI chatter will be. Ecological, obviously.
