EGO Technic BMW R 1200 GS Adventure model kit
BMW and LEGO team up to create a futuristic flying motorcycle
LEGO provides inspiration for everyone from preschool-aged future engineers to BMW designers. BMW and LEGO collaborated on the LEGO Technic BMW R 1200 GS Adventure model kit based on a BMW motorcycle. Designers took inspiration from the Technic kit to bring to life the Hover Ride Design Concept – a flying hover motorcycle that looks like something straight out of the future.
The 603-part LEGO Technic BMW R 1200 GS Adventure kit allows LEGO aficionados to construct miniature version of the BMW R 1200 GS Adventure. BMW Motorrad first approached LEGO with the idea to design the first LEGO Technic model designed together with a motorcycle manufacturer.
The hovering vehicle won’t hit markets soon. BMW described the Hover Ride as a futuristic concept full of emotion and creative energy. Combining BMW and LEGO design elements, designers from both created the concept with help of BMW training unit that give trainees opportunities to work across departments on different projects
