BMW motorrad designs vision CE electric scooter with a roll-cage for helmet-free riders
Briefly

BMW Motorrad's Vision CE presents a helmet-free electric scooter with an integrated safety cell built from a metal tube frame that encloses the rider and enables use without a helmet or heavy protective gear. A seatbelt and ergonomically designed seat add protection and reduce barriers to two-wheeled travel for city commuters. The concept revives the C1 cage idea and adapts it for modern electric platforms and contemporary design expectations. Visual changes include a stretched wheelbase, low stance, and a protective cage that appears light and open, emphasizing transparency and deliberate proportions. The design aims to balance meaningful protection with casual, convenient urban mobility.
BMW Motorrad introduces the Vision CE as a 'helmet-free' electric scooter concept and a new approach to urban mobility. The project explores how design can make two-wheel transport more accessible, emphasizing comfort and safety, and designed for riders living in the city. ' Inspired by beach buggy vibes, the Vision CE is reinterpreting mobility on two wheels,' says the team at BMW Motorrad.
The defining feature of the BMW Motorrad Vision CE is its integrated safety cell. Built around a metal tube frame, the structure encloses the rider in a way that allows for use without a helmet or heavy protective gear. A seatbelt and ergonomically designed seat complete the system, which is intended to ensure meaningful protection and reduce the barriers often associated with two-wheeled travel.
