      BMW Vision CE Self-Balancing Electric Bike Negates Helmet, Protective Clothing

      by

      BMW Vision CE Concept
      When you’re riding a motorcycle, safety is paramount and that is why wearing protective gear is advisable. Helmet and protective gear is always recommended to protect from injuries and abrasion. However, BMW Motorrad is reimagining motorcycling with Vision CE Concept where the rider doesn’t have to wear protective clothing and helmet at all.
      BMW Vision CE Concept
      If you’re a motorcycling fanatic, you’d know something about the BMW Motorrad C1 Concept that debuted 25 years ago. From around three decades, BMW Motorrad is on the quest of offering an urban motorcycling experience with increased sense of freedom along with a casual and carefree riding experience.
      BMW C1 Concept 25 years ago
      The new BMW Vision CE Concept is a continuation of C1 Concept, but in a much more refined way, while embodying the brand’s forward-looking CE design language. This motorcycle concept employs a metallic tubular cage that aims to offer protection to rider in case of a fall. This cage seems to be integrated right into the motorcycle’s mainframe.
      BMW Vision CE Concept
      To hold rider in place, this concept motorcycle comes with what looks like five-point seat belts usually seen in sports cars. This cage will provide roll-over protection while seatbelts hold passenger in place in an event of a fall. BMW has even implemented foam on this cage that should enhance impact protection.
      BMW Vision CE
      Future-Forward Design
      When compared to the cage on C1, BMW Vision CE Concept looks a lot sleeker and appealing, while employing modern materials and other technologies. This design encourages riders to enjoy the elements more as they are free to get on to their urban commutes without the need for a helmet or protective clothing.
      BMW Vision CE
      With Vision CE, BMW Motorrad aims to increase the fun quotient in daily commutes while enhancing immersion of the ride for riders. Other than the cage, Vision CE bears a futuristic design language. It has a bulky face, a long wheelbase, a forward-set foot peg position that allows for a relaxed riding posture and more. The company has also made Vision CE self-balancing too, which will unlock car-like experience on 2W.
      [embedded content]
      BMW Vision CE Concept bears an emission-free electric powertrain signifying the brand’s commitment towards clean electric mobility for a sustainable future. The company is constantly rethinking urban mobility and the new Vision CE is the amalgamation of the brand’s forward thinking in terms of propulsion technology, safety and innovative riding solutions.

      Royal Enfield Electric FF C6 Spied In Chennai City

      by

      Royal Enfield Electric FF C6Unveiled at last year’s EICMA, the FF C6 electric cruiser bike is planned for launch in the first quarter of CY2026
      Royal Enfield is stepping up its focus on the EV segment, and three bikes have already been spotted on road tests. It includes the FF C6 cruiser, FF S6 scrambler and HIM-E electric concept. Latest spy shots from automotive enthusiast Jeshwanth, show the FF C6 on road trials in Chennai. Let’s check out the details.
      Royal Enfield Flying Flea (FF C6) – Key highlights
      It is likely that FF C6 will be Royal Enfield’s first electric motorcycle to go on sale. Test mules have been spotted multiple times with heavy camouflage. Design aesthetics are a close match with the World War II era Flying Flea petrol-powered motorcycle that was in production from 1942 to 1945.
      Royal Enfield Electric FF C6
      Some of the key features of Royal Enfield FF C6 electric cruiser include a circular headlamp, Girder forks, circular rear-view mirrors and a distinctive chassis design. The electric bike has minimal body panelling, quite similar to the original Flying Flea. The concept model unveiled at last year’s EICMA had some fine detailing on the battery compartment. The wavy fin-like structures enhance the bike’s visuals and also work to improve cooling.
      Royal Enfield FF C6 has large alloy wheels, likely 19-inch at both ends. Fenders have old-school vibes and are fitted with struts for additional support. The bike has a comfortable, upright riding stance. The pillion seat could be removable to suit specific user preferences.
      Royal Enfield Electric FF C6
      Performance, range
      Specs of Royal Enfield FF C6 have not been revealed, but one can expect performance similar to a 250cc to 350cc petrol-powered motorcycle. While the bike has largely a skinny profile, the battery compartment seems to have plenty of space. The bike could have a range of anywhere between 100 to 150 km.
      FF C6 has a mid-mounted motor, connected to a belt-drive system. This setup is expected to improve balance and handling and ensure smoother, quieter rides. While not official, the battery pack could be of around 4-5 kWh capacity. FF C6 could get a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack, which is known for its safety and longevity.
      To reduce weight and improve cooling, the battery compartment is built using magnesium metal. Some advanced technologies have been used such as active thermal control and cell-level thermal monitoring. The battery pack of FF C6 will be IP-67 rated.
      As seen in the spy shots, the belt drive setup is mounted on the right side. The bike has disc brakes at both ends and dual-channel ABS is expected as standard. Tech kit will include a circular instrument console with a range of Bluetooth-based connectivity features. An earlier teaser had revealed a keyless system, with the start button mounted on the faux fuel tank. Turn-by-turn navigation will also be available, along with access to calls, text and music. More
