BMW Unveils “Boxer” Electric Motorcycle Concept
This top view clearly shows the protruding cooling elements, a nod to BMW’s classic “boxer” engine.
While the Vision DC’s battery is oriented in a standard vertical/longitudinal position, it has two cooling elements with integrated fans that extend out to each side, a nod to the protruding cylinders of the boxer engine. Slung underneath the battery and connecting to the driveshaft (another BMW hallmark) is the cylindrical electric motor itself.
Clutching the battery from above is a split, milled aluminum frame with what appear to be carbon fiber reinforcing tubes that span the opening where the fuel tank would normally be. The subframe also appears to be of a tubular carbon fiber design.
Up front is a Duolever fork capped with an LED daytime running light (DRL) flanked by two LED lights, one for low and one for high beam.
Subframe is tubular carbon fiber, with LED tail lights.
The flat, milled aluminum frame is suspended over the battery, which attaches via carbon fiber tubes.
Side-mounted cooling elements extend out when the bike is turned on.
