BMW Unveils Vision CE Roofed Electric Scooter With Safety Cell at IAA Mobility

The concept revives the C1 approach to enable helmet-free city travel through a fixed safety cell with seat belts.

Overview

  • BMW presented the Vision CE in Munich as an outlook for a new generation of urban single-track mobility.
  • The electric concept integrates a rigid cage-style safety cell and a seat-belt system intended to remove the need for a helmet.
  • Developers highlight an automatic self-balancing feature that stabilizes the scooter at a standstill.
  • Reports point to the existing CE 04 as the technical basis, though performance figures cited from that model are not official Vision CE specifications.
  • BMW has not confirmed production, weight, price, or timing; press speculation ranges from roughly €8,000 entry pricing to €15,000 and suggests a possible 2026 launch.
