Meanwhille BMW's iconic compact car brand, MINI, is also readying an electric scooter for the Paris motor show. Details are scarce, but we can expect the design to mimic some of the styling cues seen on the Mini Cooper compact car.

Like most electric scooters, the MINI electric scoot features a lithium-ion battery pack in lieu of a fuel tank, but far the plug-in MINI e-scooter will travel and at what speeds is not yet clear.
