The CitySailer is a fuel cell powered scooter for the city

The CitySailer concept looks familiar to BMW’s Solo Scooter, and that is probably the effect designer Christopher Kuh was looking for. The BMW logo sits at the center, between the wheels of the concept. This two-wheeler powered by fuel cells is environmentally friendly, plus its small footprint for the road will keep traffic problems to a minimum.

An electric motor mounted in the rear wheels propels the vehicle. To keep the rider safe, the concept includes a seatbelt and an airbag. For parking the vehicle, the rider needs to push the steering levers forward parallel to the frame. This disposes the seat column and clears it for parking.
