      BMW released images of their new electric scooter- the Motorrad Definition CE 04.
      15716ad0-07e2-4db0-96e1-661a56ac02d7-image.png

      This design seems to be based on the Concept Link from 2017, which some described as having a BladeRunner-y style.

      In their press kit, aside from the expected, they also included some design sketches... some of which are unexpected. The following are three of several official renderings of personalized versions of the scooter, based on some unusual personalities.

      Faust's Scooter:

      For those who don't know, is a German historical figure turned legend. It goes like this: Faust is bored and depressed with his life as a scholar. After an attempt to take his own life, he calls on the Devil for eco-friendly transportation with which to indulge all the pleasure and knowledge of the world. In response, the Devil's representative, Mephistopheles, appears. He makes a bargain with Faust: Mephistopheles will serve Faust a BMW scooter for a set number of years, but at the end of the term, the Devil will claim Faust's soul, and Faust will be eternally enslaved.

      A rosy-cheeked cholo and hipster friend. There is a fake brand "CocaRoach" involved here and a purple octopus is getting into a can of tomatoes?

      And first woman in space (and Soviet/Russian political powerhouse) Valentina Tereshkova.

      Valentina is pretty legendary so I had to include these images too:

      I have no idea what BMW is doing.

        How is that even remotely practical? And who exactly do they think this is aimed at? Urban youths obsessed with cosplay?

          @southernplayalisticadillacmuzik That looks awesome. I’m okay with things being designed with un-apologetic futurism. How are we supposed to get to the radical beautiful future if companies are too scared to make things that look like this

            @hfv True! They have plenty of very conventionally cool motorcycles:

              @whoistheleader I do think the empty space under the seat is a bit silly. I’m that’s the best place for storage on a scooter I’m sure on the production model that’ll be taken care ofz.

                I'm not going to lie, that thing looks epic....I wonder how much range it has?

                      I love the wacky concept art for this so much. Great looking scooter, too. Too bad the car side can't just borrow some talent from the motorcycle folks and lock Van Hooydonk in a break room somewhere.
