New electric motorcycles from BMW

Brand registrations indicate an electric offensive

The designations DC 01, DC 02, DC 03 and so on, up to DC 09, clearly refer to the electrical concept "Vision DC Roadster", which in turn leads us to suspect that BMW may be planning an electric offensive.

Left eleven new names B.Register and protect MW motorcycle. They all point to new electric motorcycles and electric scooters: DC 01, DC 02, DC 03, DC 04, DC 05, DC 06, DC 07, DC 08 and DC 09. According to BMW, the names are for motorcycles, parts and accessories as well as for Vehicle models provided. The sequence of letters leaves us "DC" Look in the direction of the Vision DC Roadster – BMW presented the electric motorcycle concept in June 2019. DC stands for direct current in the name of the Vision DC Roadster, and also in the new names.

E-roadsters, e-tourers, e-adventure bikes

That same year, in December 2019, the less visionary, but more realistic BMW E-Power Roadster Concept followed. The numbers 01 to 09 indicate that several models or versions are planned, which conceptually may be somewhere between the Vision DC Roadster and the E-Power Roadster Concept. We are assuming that the registration of so many brand names is for long-term planning and that BMW will not launch electric motorcycles of all categories on the market in a timely manner. In the long term, however, we will be on the lookout for e-roadsters, e-tourers, e-adventure bikes, etc..

CE for two new BMW electric scooters

The other two newly registered names are CE 02 and CE 04. They are reserved for two new BMW electric scooters, because the names of the scooters already bear this today "VS." in the name of. C Evolution is the name of the current electric scooter from BMW, which was presented in 2012 and has been in series production since 2014. A new CE 04 could be the successor to the current C Evolution, while a smaller, cheaper version called CE 02 suggests itself as a useful addition.

Conclusion

How likely is it that our guesses will come true? Looking at previous trademark registrations: very likely. For many models, BMW had the names registered and saved in advance and the models followed with precisely this name. That the abbreviation "DC" will be used for future BMW electric motorcycles and "THIS" for electric scooters is also considered safe from the references above.
