With the Vagabund CE04, we took the productspecific marketing philosophy of BMW Motorrad and interpreted it in our own way. In urban areas in particular, there is an absolute necessity now and in the future to enable sustainable mobility for a wide range of requirements. The Vagabund CE04 combines the areas of work, leisure and individuality and shows that these do not have to be in contradiction.

Munich/Graz/Salzburg. While the international customizing scene around BMW Motorrad is particularly dedicated to the BMW Motorrad heritage models R 18 and R nineT with inspiring creativity, high craftsmanship and constantly new ideas, an extraordinary project based on the BMW CE 04 has now been created in Austria. In collaboration with BMW Motorrad Austria in Salzburg, the customizing company Vagabund Moto GmbH in Graz created the BMW CE 04 Vagabund Moto Concept - a stylish and multifunctional e-scooter based on the BMW CE 04 for urban areas.
KTM Freeride E Vagabundᵐ
In 2022, Vagabundᵐ partnered with the brand KTM from 🇦🇹 Austria to create a custom version of the new electric cross motorcycle E-CX.
We took the 2022 KTM E-CX and added our own custom-made body parts to get that distinctive Vagabundᵐ look. After disassembling and 3D-scanning the motorcycle, we designed, constructed and manufactured a "conversion kit", which is adaptable without changing, cutting or welding any parts of the original basis.

It features a brushless 18 kW synchronous motor in a modern FREERIDE chassis with WP XPLOR suspension front and rear, making it outstandingly agile, as well as highly dynamic with great offroad mobility. It´s a true all-rounder for pure fun on every terrain. Source: VGBᵐ (Vagabund Moto Webshop)
Custom motorcycle design on demand
Are you wondering what we could come up with together? Contact us and let’s make it happen.
Over the years, we've built many things. One of them is our own process. Spending up to a year working on a project leaves you with some great memories. Taking things apart piece by piece and putting them back together carefully, with every piece considered. And then it's gone. But you never fully forget what you build. To make any product memorable and individual, we make sure to go on a journey together.
Function rides ahead, with form cruising in its airstream. Ultimately, they arrive at satisfaction together. All products must do their job, perform as expected or better, and not just stand there and look nice.
