BMW patents Vision CE self-balancing electric scooter design in India
BMW Motorrad has registered the design of its Vision CE electric scooter concept in India.
The concept is designed to balance itself when stopped, so the rider would not need to put their feet on the ground at traffic lights.
A steel frame around the rider and a seatbelt are intended to offer added protection.
BMW has not confirmed the scooter’s final safety features, technical specifications or how well the concept would work on real roads.
A patent does not mean the scooter will go on sale, and it does not remove legal helmet requirements.
BMW has announced no production plan, launch date or price, so its next step is unclear.
BMW Motorrad’s Vision CE self-balancing electric two-wheeler design has been patented in India, according to reports published on October 20 and 21, 2026.
The concept is designed to balance itself when stopped, so the rider would not need to put their feet on the ground.
Its design includes a protective frame around the rider and a seatbelt.
BMW has not announced production plans, a launch date or a price.
The company has not disclosed the Vision CE’s battery capacity, power, range or top speed.
