BMW i patent powers HNF Heisenberg XF1 e-MountainBike with BOSCH

BMW i stands for visionary vehicle concepts, progressive design and a new understanding of premium that is strongly defined by sustainability. Furthermore, BMW i also fulfills the function within the BMW Group of an incubator for innovation that reaches far beyond the vehicles BMW i3 and BMW i8 we are already familiar with.

The patent for a drive unit swing arm, which is now entering production at the HNF eBike factory after development to series maturity in collaboration with BMW Research and Technology, originates from the first stage of BMW i market research and the early concept phase.

As there was no longer any immediate use for the patent due to the focus at BMW i on two-track electric vehicles, it has now been finally released for external usage.

Its application in reality can now be experienced on the eBike “Heisenberg XF1”, on which a small logo with the wording “ by BMW i“ indicates the prestigious origin of this innovative functional principle.
