BMW Unveils Vision CE, a Helmet-Optional Electric Scooter Concept

A built-in safety cell with self-balancing tech targets easier city commuting.

Overview

  • Revealed ahead of a Sept. 8 public showing at Munich’s IAA Mobility, the single-seat prototype previews BMW Motorrad’s urban electric direction.
  • An open tubular cage integrates a seat with backrest and headrest, a seatbelt, and a protective mesh intended to lessen reliance on traditional riding gear.
  • The scooter features a balancing function that keeps it upright when stationary to simplify starts, stops, and low-speed maneuvering.
  • The design builds on the CE 04 platform with a long, low stance and familiar EV hardware oriented toward short city trips.
  • BMW has not announced production plans or timing, while proposed accessories include a transparent roof, auxiliary lights, a luggage rack, and a removable Bluetooth speaker.
