Lightweight Thrill: How 15 HP Feels Like a Rocket in BMW's eParkourer

The dual 1.96‑kWh batteries deliver a maximum of 15 hp, with a continuous rated output of 8 hp. (Rated horsepower refers to the power the motor can sustain steadily, while maximum is its peak possible output—insert your technical corrections below.)

In a Cadillac, 15 hp would be insignificant. But in a nimble scooter—or rather, motorcycle, or more accurately, "eParkourer"—weighing just 291 pounds even with a full charge, it's more than enough for an exhilarating ride.

The eParkourer features a steel frame, a single-sided swing arm, telescopic front forks, front-wheel ABS, stability control—including recuperative stability control to minimize motor drag torque and enhance vehicle stability—and even a reverse gear. Its three drive modes can be overwhelming, so just set it to “Flash” and go. It also comes with a USB-C socket, catering perfectly to the modern skater (or anyone) armed with a USB‑C phone—no outdated chargers in sight.

This street-ready machine tops out at 59 mph and, according to the World Motorcycle Test Cycle (WMTC), offers a range of “more than 56 miles.” Real‑world results will vary, of course; I only rode it for about 20 minutes, so I can’t verify my own mileage.

So, should you choose this over other compelling electric rides on the market? Many buyers decide based on style—and this thing oozes it. You might not be a skater, but riding it will certainly give that impression. And you’ll be having an absolute blast while doing it.
