The BMW C1 was a groundbreaking motorcycle, or rather, a "scooter with a roof," that aimed to bridge the gap between traditional two-wheeled motorcycles and more car-like vehicles. Launched in 2000, it was designed as a practical and weather-protected option for urban commuters, offering the agility of a scooter with the added security of a hard-shell canopy. The C1's distinctive design incorporated a single-seat, enclosed cabin, with a large windscreen and a full-length roof that provided shelter from rain, wind, and the elements. This unique approach, combined with its distinctive design and advanced features, made the C1 a standout in the motorcycle world.

The C1's technical highlights included a liquid-cooled, single-cylinder four-stroke engine that produced 12 horsepower, coupled with a CVT automatic transmission for smooth and effortless riding. The chassis was built with a lightweight aluminum frame and included a sophisticated, patented "Active Stability System" (ASS) that used sensors to adjust the suspension damping and ABS braking in real-time, enhancing stability and safety. The C1 also boasted advanced features like a keyless ignition system, a digital instrument panel, and integrated storage compartments for added convenience. Although praised for its innovative design and practical features, the C1 ultimately proved to be a commercial failure, facing skepticism from traditional motorcyclists and lack of demand from the broader market. Its high price point and limited practicality compared to traditional scooters contributed to its downfall, leading to its discontinuation in 2003.
