Here is the press release for the CE 02. It looks like it will be plant-based (scroll down to near the bottom of the page for pictures of the rider and his BMW accessory backpack).  https://thepack.news/bmw-motorrad-concept-ce-02/

Why don't they just replace the "seat" with the skateboard instead of mounting it crossways where your feet would normally go?  Looking at that ironing-board seat its just about as soft to sit on.  What's with BMW and their seats on the futuristic show vehicles?  I know--it's about EV range.  If you had to ride it more than 5 miles, you would have to stop to recharge the scooter and your butt!

The board seat works perfectly for carrying home a new plant in its container.  ;)

Also note the lack of any mudguards. Clearly the O2 is not designed to be ridden on flooded streets, such are apparently becoming the norm in certain areas of the world.   ::)  (The ones that are not on fire yet.  :( )
