Listen, I love weird bikes and hybrids. Down to my toes. And, I kinda get why BMW would want to revisit the totally strange enclosed C1 scooter idea with a new, electrified concept. After all, the CE-04 and CE-02 are clearly going down a completely different path from all the brand's other vehicles, so why not get weird with it?
But I'm sorry to say that the BMW Motorrad Vision CE Concept looks like the misbegotten spawn of a CE-04 and a golf cart. And while BMW might say, and I quote, that "its unique cage design ... eliminates the need for a helmet or protective clothing," you're probably going to at least want a helmet just to keep from bonking your head repeatedly (and subsequently swearing loudly) as you get in and out of the saddle multiple times a day if you ride one.
Seriously, look at this thing. I'm a short person with corgi legs (5'3" for reference), and even I'm concerned that I'm gonna hit my head. All you people who are taller than me, I'm really and truly concerned for your cranial comfort in this thing. Does it come with a free bottle of ibuprofen and a special space for ice packs on board?
