A "Tourist Information" sign in Switzerland, Europe, points to a BMW C1 enclosed scooter.

A "Tourist Information" sign in Switzerland, Europe, points towards a BMW C1 enclosed scooter, made by Bertone for BMW and sold for a limited time 2000-2001. Roll bars, safety belts, and other design features were meant to eliminate need for a helmet, which conflicted with unamended helmet laws in UK and Sweden. Other countries considered wearing a helmet with a safety belt to risk neck injuries. High center of gravity made travel at slow speeds harder to learn than for motorcycles.
