The BMW Motorrad Vision CE represents a refined synthesis of design heritage and forward-looking mobility innovation. Rooted in BMW’s legacy of redefining urban transport, the Vision CE draws on two key precedents: conceptually, it reinterprets the early-2000s C1 “safety scooter” as a contemporary, design-led response to modern mobility challenges; aesthetically, it extends the clean, geometric, and electric-driven design language established by the production CE 04.
At the core of the Vision CE’s industrial identity lies a re-engineered composite safety cage — a structural and conceptual centerpiece that reshapes both the vehicle’s silhouette and the rider’s experience. This architectural element transcends its functional role, acting simultaneously as a protective exoskeleton and a modular interface for accessories via integrated “roof rails.” The result is a fusion of safety, utility, and aesthetic precision — a hallmark of advanced industrial design.
Rather than pursuing performance metrics, the Vision CE investigates a new urban mobility typology. It emphasizes an “open, light, and connected” riding experience, made possible by a low center of gravity, clean surfaces, and the integration of an autonomous self-balancing system. This technology not only reinforces the vehicle’s safety narrative but also enhances usability, particularly in low-speed or static conditions.
Ultimately, the Vision CE translates BMW Motorrad’s design DNA into a coherent vision for the future — one that redefines the equilibrium between safety, freedom, and emotional appeal in the context of next-generation urban transport.
