Electric BMW Motorrad Vision AMBY revealed
BMW Motorrad has unveiled the Vision AMBY concept at the IAA Mobility 2021 show in Munich.
AMBY – a contraction of ‘Adaptive Mobility’ – denotes that this electric two-wheeler can switch between three different modes according to where it’s being ridden.
In essence, they act as speed limiters, restricting progress to 15 mph (25 km/h) on cycle paths, 28 mph (45 km/h) in urban centres, and 37 mph (60 km/h) out of town. GPS mapping and geofencing could be used to automatically select the appropriate setting.
Despite appearances, the Vision AMBY definitely isn’t a bicycle. A twist-grip throttle controls acceleration, there are no pedals, and the uninviting flat saddle has a fixed height of 830 mm (32.6”). Unladen weight is approximately 65 kg (143 lb).
Neither motor output nor battery capacity have been disclosed yet. However, the estimated WMTC combined range on a single charge is around 68 miles (110 kilometres).
At the moment, a production version seems unlikely, not least because new legislation would probably be needed to address driving licence and insurance requirements.
