"Urban mobility is evolving at a rapid pace, but scooters -while convenient-have often been criticized for leaving riders vulnerable without extensive protective gear. BMW Motorrad is addressing that issue head-on with its latest unveiling: the Vision CE Concept. This electric scooter challenges long-held assumptions about two-wheeled transport, offering a futuristic take on city commuting where safety, style, and practicality intersect."
"Traditionally, scooters and motorcycles come with the inherent expectation of helmets, jackets, gloves, and layered protection. BMW Motorrad's Vision CE Concept proposes a different model. Central to its innovation is a metal tube composite structure, referred to as the "cage." This cage, paired with a specialized seat construction and an integrated seat belt, has been engineered to provide a level of protection that could reduce the reliance on conventional riding gear."
"The design philosophy is clear: if a scooter is going to compete with cars as a daily mobility option, it must meet similar standards of safety. By integrating these protective systems directly into the vehicle, BMW pushes the concept of a scooter beyond the traditional framework, envisioning a machine where the rider feels secure even without the bulk of additional gear."
BMW Motorrad's Vision CE Concept is an electric scooter that integrates a metal tube composite 'cage', specialized seat construction, and an integrated seat belt to provide enhanced rider protection. The integrated protective systems aim to reduce reliance on conventional helmets, jackets, gloves, and layered protection. The design targets car-like safety standards to make scooters viable daily mobility alternatives. The vehicle combines minimalist, architectural aesthetics—black cage against a matte white body—with practical features such as a self-balancing function that keeps the scooter upright when stationary, improving convenience and urban usability. These choices aim to merge safety, style, and practicality for urban commuting.
