BMW Motorrad presents the BMW CE 04 Vagabund Moto Concept.

Munich/Graz/Salzburg. While the international
customising scene around BMW Motorrad primarily devotes its inspiring
creativity, excellent craftsmanship and continuous flow of new ideas
to the BMW Motorrad Heritage models R 18 and R nineT, an exceptional
project based on the BMW CE 04 has now taken shape in Austria. In
collaboration with BMW Motorrad Austria in Salzburg, customising
specialist Vagabund Moto GmbH in Graz has created the BMW CE 04
Vagabund Moto Concept – a stylish and multifunctional e-scooter based
on the BMW CE 04 for urban use.

“Everyone defines the mobility of the future in their own individual
way. With the BMW CE 04 Vagabund Moto Concept, we now present our own
idea of a stylish and multifunctional urban e-scooter that shows just
how mobility needs are as individual as each personality. We haven’t
reinvented the wheel, but we have taken a new look at function. We
call it drawing on the synergies between functionality and aesthetics
in a way that is suitable for everyday use,” says Paul Brauchart,
founder and managing director of Vagabund Moto GmbH, explaining the
philosophy behind BMW CE 04 Vagabund Moto Concept.

Accordingly, this made-in-Austria custom e-scooter not only has a
particularly attractive colour scheme in white, dark green, beige and
black, it also features various functional elements created in a
fresh, modern design style and focusing on a youthful target group.
For example, a friendly smiley face not only provides a fascinating
visual accentuation on the front wheel hub, it also appears on the
glass of the indicator lights. What has remained, however, is the
impressive technical concept of the BMW CE 04 with key data such as 31
kW (42 hp) maximum output, dynamic acceleration of 2.6 s from 0 to 50
km/h, a range of 130 km (according to WMTC) and a charging time of
just 65 minutes from 0% to 80% – with an optional fast charger at
maximum charging current.

“With this customising project it was very important to us to
emphasise the enormous variability of the BMW CE 04. At the same time,
it was to be a vehicle that appeals in particular to young, sporty
people in an urban environment and still be suitable for every type of
customer. The fresh, modern design of the CE 04 is particularly in
keeping with its aspiration to a sporty lifestyle,” adds Oliver
Balzer, head of BMW Motorrad Austria.

In keeping with the motto “Action meets Fashion”, the BMW CE 04
Vagabund Moto Concept was given a functional top case to supplement
the standard storage space, along with a surfboard with a transport
system integrated in the vehicle – whether for a trip to the sea or to
the nearest lake. “The surfboard isn’t just a piece of sports
equipment: it’s also a metaphor for a sustainable urban lifestyle. The
BMW CE 04 Vagabund Moto Concept combines work, leisure and individual
flair, demonstrating that there needs to be no contradiction between
any of these areas,” concludes Oliver Balzer.
