This BMW Electric Two-Wheeler Is A Result Of Collab With Australian Fashion Brand
BMW Motorrad's electric two-wheeler range consists of the CE 02 and the relatively bigger CE 04. The CE 02 stands out from the crowd because of its unique characteristics and compact size. To further improve the wow factor of the EV, the brand has unveiled a new version developed in collaboration with Deus Ex Machina. This is an Australian clothing brand that is now participating in customizing two-wheelers. It is to be noted that the brand also has its presence in the music and live events through Deus Records.
Called the BMW DE 02, the bike is being viewed as a "mobile DJ booth on two wheels". To put it together, Deus was tasked with the creation of a new leather saddle for the CE 02 and installed four compact Marshall speakers along with a foldable DJ turntable. Presently, BMW is touring the two-wheeler around France. Later, it will be on display at various BMW Motorrad dealerships, followed by its presence at the Deus Ex Machina boutiques across the country.

The BMW DE 02 will likely continue to be a one-off model and will not be available for sale. However, it will likely be showcased as an inspiration for the people wishing to customise their electric bikes in a unique and quirky way.

It is powered by an air-cooled synchronous motor, which can help the scooter go from 0 to 50 kmph in 3 seconds. Meanwhile, the top speed is limited to 95 kmph.

Australia's teen social media ban: Age verification tech 'works," say trial organizers
Australia's plan to ban under-16s from social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat is gaining traction with organizers of a government-backed trial declaring that age-verification software 'can work'—even if it's not perfect. As reported by Reuters, the comprehensive trial, which involved over 1,000 Australian school students and hundreds of adults, concluded earlier this month. The Australian government is pushing ahead with a law, set to come into effect in December, that will require social media giants like Meta (Facebook, Instagram), Snapchat, and TikTok to implement "reasonable steps" to block under-16s from their platforms. Companies failing to comply could face fines of up to A$49.5 million ($32 million). Tony Allen, CEO of the UK-based Age Check Certification Scheme , the organization overseeing the Australian trial, stated on Friday that "Age assurance can be done in Australia privately, efficiently and effectively." He further noted that the trial found "no significant tech barriers" to rolling out a software-based scheme. However, Allen also cautioned that "no one-size-fits-all solution, and no solution that worked perfectly in all deployments" was identified. Concerns were also raised about some age-assurance software firms potentially "over-collecting" data in anticipation of future law enforcement or regulatory needs. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Cooling Tech Making Ductless ACs Go Mainstream [take a look] Keep Cool Click Here Undo As per the report, the initial findings reveal a positive outlook for the government announced ban. This comes despite ongoing skepticism from child protection advocates, tech industry groups, and even teenagers themselves, who have questioned the ban's enforceability due to potential workarounds like Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). The trial conducted explored various age verification methods using facial recognition, inferring age based on behaviour and parental controls. During the test some of the facial recognition tools were reported to be almost accurate. However, other reports from the trial highlighted issues with accuracy, such as misidentifying children as older or having higher error rates for certain demographics. The complete report from the Age Assurance Technology Trial is said to be delivered to the Australian government next month. These findings will then inform an industry consultation ahead of the December deadline for the ban's implementation. AI Masterclass for Students. Upskill Young Ones Today!– Join Now
