Best for
Built for urban commuting. Its roof, seatbelts and safety cage let riders skip a helmet in some markets while dodging traffic.
Built for
A genuinely unique BMW oddity: half scooter, half safety pod. Quirky, practical, weather-shielding city runabout with real character.
Not ideal for
Not for highway cruising, two-up trips, spirited cornering or anyone chasing speed or long-distance touring comfort.
