Collabs are all the rage these days and BMW Motorrad is hopping on the trend train with the new CE 02 x Vagabund. It’s a stylish electric motorcycle that features a host of retro-inspired touches. BMW didn’t say much about the concept, but we can see an expressive two-tone design with a unique front fender as well as a yellow hoop. They’re joined by white wheels and a tan seat that provides some much needed contrast. Other highlights include a speaker-like accent and a removable OB-4 Magic Radio from Teenage Engineering. The latter is a US$ 549+ Bluetooth speaker with an integrated FM radio.
The model sports an ‘electric exhaust,’
which is a cylindrical compartment that opens to reveal an umbrella. Designers
also gave the bike a “running board with skateboard grip tape” to reflect a
“sporty, urban eParkourer style.”
Like the standard model, the concept
should have two removable 1.96 kWh battery packs as well as an electric motor
developing 15 hp and 55 Nm of torque. This setup
enables the standard bike to accelerate from 0-48 km/h in three
seconds and travel approximately 95 km on a single charge. When the
batteries are dead, the optional quick charger can take them from 0% to 80% in
around three hours.
While this particular bike is a one-off,
the 2024 BMW CE 02 starts at US$ 7,599 and is available now.
