These are Barcelona’s all new BMW electric police scooters

When you think about iconic police vehicles, you tend to think about speed, sirens, and muscle. What you don’t tend to think about is scooters. Nonetheless some of Barcelona’s finest will soon be cruising the streets on BMW-made electric scooters.

The fleet of 30 BMW C evolution scooters has a continuous output of 11KW and a maximum output of 35 KW. In most respects the scooter is identical to the civilian version, although BMW has included some modifications for police needs.

The modifcations include a raised screen for protection purposes and a public address and signalling system.

While the police scooters are far from the most glamorous law-enforcement vehicles out there, there’s no doubt that they’re pretty unique.

It’s unclear exactly what kind of policing activities the scooter will be used for, although it’s reasonably safe to suggest that it won’t be high-speed pursuits. Unless they ride in relays, they’re unlikely to be involved in endurance chases either.
