Despite only having half the number of wheels of a MINI, there's something about the MINI Scooter E Concept that recalls its four-wheeled counterpart. In fact, there are a whole load of things: the upright windshield with grille-like aperture, the extra-large round headlight, the customisation possibilities for the mirror caps, the abundance of chrome, the Center Rail; even the hand grip for the pillion passenger on the two-seater version has a spoiler-like touch to it. And the driving fun − or, in this case, riding fun − is, of course, as unrivalled as ever.

It's not just the colour scheme of the two-seater MINI Scooter E Concept that's identical to the MINI E four-wheeler. It's also the zero-emission electric drive unit, powered by a lithium-ion battery. Although, "identical" is not strictly true. Whereas the MINI E four-wheeler currently requires special charging stations, the MINI Scooter E Concept can be topped up using any conventional domestic socket − with the charging system and cable stored snugly at the rear, alongside the battery.
