The BMW C1 200, launched in 2000, was a unique and innovative scooter that sought to combine the convenience and agility of a traditional scooter with the safety and weather protection of a car. The C1 200 featured an enclosed, single-seater cabin with a large windshield and side doors, effectively shielding the rider from the elements. Its design was inspired by the concept of a "car-like scooter," incorporating features like a rigid, car-like chassis, a roll-over protection system (ROPS), and a safety belt. This safety focus was further emphasized by the C1's distinctive "canopy," a reinforced plastic structure that provided additional protection in case of an accident. The C1 200 was powered by a liquid-cooled, 198 cc single-cylinder four-stroke engine, delivering a respectable 15 horsepower. This engine was paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), providing smooth acceleration and effortless operation.

The C1 200's design made it a standout in the scooter market. Its distinctive appearance, with its enclosed cabin and futuristic styling, garnered both praise and criticism. While some applauded its innovative approach to safety and comfort, others found its bulky design and limited passenger capacity to be drawbacks. The C1 200 was marketed as a practical and safe solution for urban commuting, offering both weather protection and enhanced safety features. Despite its innovative design and technological advancements, the C1 200 faced challenges in the market. Its relatively high price point, limited passenger capacity, and unconventional design hampered its sales potential. Ultimately, the BMW C1 200 remained a niche product, discontinued in 2003, leaving a legacy of innovative design but limited commercial success. Its impact on the scooter industry was undeniable, demonstrating the potential for combining scooter functionality with car-like safety features, paving the way for future developments in scooter technology.
