BMW is already known for its innovation, but this time it went a step further by collaborating with Vagabund Moto to create something truly extraordinary. Introducing the BMW x Vagabund CE 02 “eParkourer”, the latest masterpiece of electric urban transport.
When it's BMW presented the CE 02 for the first time, has already impressed fans of futuristic design that blurs the lines between motorcycle and moped. Vagabund Moto, the well-known manufacturers of unique motorcycles from Graz, immediately felt the potential in this model and a year after its presentation, they revealed to the world their vision of the CE 02. The "eParkourer" was created - a unique product that combines modern aesthetics and practicality.
The most important changes
Vagabond Motto is in the process of being transformed CE 02 took a minimalist approach, but each accessory has a purpose. They kept the basic lines and shape of the original, but upgraded it with unique touches like a custom-made suede seat, custom LED headlight with a unique case and rear support for the Teenage Engineering OB-4 Magic radio. The bike is also equipped with a perforated battery cover and a small luggage rack.
The most interesting addition is the fake exhaust in the style of scrambler motorcycles, which hides the yellow Vagabund umbrella. The original footplates have been replaced with newly designed, perforated pedals that match the overall look.
Color palette and visual accents
In the design, Vagabund used different color shades and finishes to emphasize the individual elements of the engine. The suede seat now separates from the tank cover, which, together with the rest of the frame, is painted in shiny black. The engine is completely black, which allows for better integration with the frame, and one side of the front wheel is painted white, which creates an interesting contrast.
Technical specifications Despite the cosmetic changes, the “eParkourer” retains all the technical features of the original CE 02:
- Engine power: 11.18 kW (15 HP) and 55 Nm of torque
- Weight: 132 kg

"The entire design of CE 02 was a perfect match for us, because at VAGABUND we are always looking for new ways and reinterpreting existing products in our own way.
