BMW And Vagabund Unveil Retro-Futuristic CE 02 Electric Scooter

BMW Motorrad Austria and design studio Vagabund have collaborated to create the BMW CE 02, an electric scooter that blends futuristic design with retro elements, exemplifying a retro-futuristic aesthetic. This partnership follows their previous customization of the BMW CE 04, which included unique features like a surfboard rack and a smiley face. The latest customization introduces Teenage Engineering’s speaker-like radio and a cylindrical container for a portable umbrella.

Paul Brauchart and Philipp Rabl, co-founders of Vagabund Moto GmbH, emphasize that the BMW CE 02 offers the perfect canvas for their creative vision. They aimed to merge the futuristic design with nostalgic elements to evoke a sense of familiarity and appeal to a broad audience. The result is a stylish electric scooter designed for urban environments.

The design inspiration includes influences from retro-audio and Dieter Rams’ minimalist designs. The OB-4 Magic Radio from Teenage Engineering, known for its minimalist aesthetic, perfectly complements the retro-futuristic theme. The scooter also features an innovative “electric exhaust” that serves as an umbrella drawer, adding both functionality and a nod to retro design.

The custom BMW CE 02 was first envisioned during the BMW Motorrad Days in Berlin, where Vagabund was impressed by its modular design.

Given the green light by BMW, Vagabund took full control of the project, managing everything in-house or through partner companies. Their love for music and retro design significantly influenced the customization process.

The CE 02 by Vagabund is a one-off project, showcased in a custom 3.6-meter high steel-like packaging, resembling a collectible item. This specially designed packaging can be dismantled and transported, ensuring that the custom electric scooter garners attention wherever it goes.

While the CE 02 remains a unique, non-commercial project, it highlights the innovative and creative potential of collaborations between automotive and design studios.
