A collaboration between BMW and the Technical University of Munich is set to bring the first electric powered supersport motorcycle, the BMW eRR. The company has an extensive past in going green with their vehicles, bringing the BMW i3 and i8 with aluminum chassis and passenger cabins made with carbon fibre, proving that low emissions do not mean reduced fun or practicality.
The project for the BMW eRR Will Be All Electric
The BMW eRR is set to rely on the BMW S 100 RR motorcycle for chassis technology, but BMW plans to implement all-electric drive to the mix. The car, as declared by Head of BMW Motrrad Stephan Schaller, will set new standards for motorcycles by combining all-electric drive with the speed and power of other fueled motorcycles and bring the market to a completely different level.
The BMW eRR Could Spark More Electric Motorcycle Manufacturing
Details about the BMW eRR are still only starting to roll out, but given BMW’s reputation as the world’s leading premium car and motorcycle manufacturer, it’s sure to be a game changer in more than one sense. BMW has presence in 14 countries, and last year, the carmaker sold more than 2 million cars and 123,000 motorcycles. As more details are released about the BMW eRR, it’s sure to spark plenty of conversation on clean car making.
