BMW has teamed up with Deus Ex Machina to create a unique electric bike that not only hits the streets but also doubles as a mobile DJ booth. This innovative collaboration between the German automotive giant and the Australian lifestyle brand has resulted in the DE-02, a motorcycle that defies convention by blending music and mobility in a seamless package.
The DE-02 is based on BMW’s CE 02 “eParkourer” platform but takes on a whole new identity with the addition of four Marshall Middleton speakers and a central turntable. This transformation turns a surf rack into a party on wheels, showcasing a fusion of precise engineering and laid-back surf culture that is both unexpected and delightful.
Despite its party-ready features, the DE-02 doesn’t compromise on performance. It houses a 5.5 kWh battery powering an air-cooled electric motor capable of delivering 11 kW of continuous power and 20 kW at its peak. With a chassis that combines strength with lightweight carbon fiber panels and top-notch WP XACT suspension components, this electric bike is designed to handle both urban streets and off-road terrains with ease.
The attention to detail on the DE-02 is evident in every aspect of its design. From the hand-stitched leather saddle with Deus Records embroidery to custom CNC components, this bike showcases meticulous craftsmanship that highlights the collaboration’s deep understanding of their respective cultures. Modern LED lighting, streamlined mirrors, and a monochromatic color scheme add a touch of sophistication to the rugged aesthetic.
Underneath its stylish exterior, the DE-02 boasts impressive specifications, including a 125cc equivalent classification for licensing, Beringer disc brakes, and a sound system that features the signature Marshall speakers and integrated turntable. While the DE-02 remains a one-off concept, its inspiration, the standard BMW CE 02, offers a solid starting point for those looking to create their own personalized mobile party machine.
This unconventional electric bike represents a shift in the automotive landscape, where creativity and functionality converge to create a truly unique experience on two wheels. The DE-02 showcases how innovation can blend with tradition, resulting in a vehicle that not only transports you but also entertains you along the way.
