This is what is safe, environmentally friendly and very practical vehicle for single rail traffic the city could look like in the future. BMW Motorrad developing C1-E study as a contribution to European safety eSUM project. This study unit based on the concept of the BMW C1. This is marked by a very high level of active and passive safety and driven by an electric motor.


BMW C1-E provides protection for the rider model. This is ensured by the safety cell with a striking roll-over bars which includes dynamic drivers seat in combination with the impact energy absorbing elements at the end of the nose. Further special point is that the C1-E driver wearing a seat belt. In this study the security features will be highlighted by a red belt and belt buckles.
