Ansgar : live from Paris Car Salon - the unique electro scooter study by MINI and Fresh Faces finalists for SALSA JEANS

Ansgar had to shoot under strict confidentiality until MINI's new eco-vehicle concept was finally revealed at London Fashion Week and the Automobile Salon in Paris: Electro Scooters!

BMW subsidiary Mini presented three electro roller visions by Scooter E. Concepts: A basic concept, a luxury version called ‘Ego’ and a retro look.

The Paris Motorcar Salon (until 17 October) will present the basic version as well as the ‘ego’ concept to stylish clientele. The third, retro look variation was exclusively assembled for the preview in London.

Naturally, the Scooter E-line inherits the Mini's elementary design features. Organic form, the back lights, the variable storage system Center Rail and a few control elements will find its ways to the scooter as well.

The scooter's over dimensional speedometer, called Speedo by the Mini Center, can be opened and an ignition key in the shape of an iPhone, which is both a navigation system and board computer, can be found behind it.

The battery will hold enough energy for 100 kilometres, with a rear wheel top speed of approx. 50 km/h.

Unfortunately, we can only relish these concept studies for now, “Having a two-wheel production behind us, BMW has the know-how to release a product like this to the market.” says Hildebrand.

Ansgar has also been photographing the finalists of the Fresh Faces contest by Portuguese fashion label SALSA JEANS in Barcelona and Paris. GoSee presents the results.
