Rivian's TM-B electric bike

What I want ... not an E-bike, but an E-version of the BMW C1

Critical features: 1. moderate weather protection 2. vastly improved crash protection 3. top speed above 50mph 4. luggage capacity of a small flatbed trailer

I acknowledge the utility of e-bikes for many; for me, I prefer my non-e bike when I want to ride my bike, but would love an e-motorycle as an alternative to 80% of my car trips.

You‘re in luck BMW recently presented their vision CE.

Sadly, no weather protection and apparently almost zero luggage capacity. But it's a very tiny step in roughly the right direction ...

oh, those concept shots are hysterical. the one with the pink bike and the woman with 3 dogs kills, but the dj setup is where I said "too far" and closed the tab

Also, it's AI-generated. Zoom in on the right-most guy in the image. Garbage in, garbage out. Embarrassing garbage quality for an official site.

The weather protection is great for positive temperatures - you can protect yourself from sun and rain. Unfortunately, for those in cold weather, two wheeled vehicles make little sense.
