FIRST LOOK: 2024 BMW CE-02

BMW Motorrad continues to make strides in electric mobility with the launch of its latest e-vehicle, the BMW CE 02.

  • Positioned as an eParkourer, this dynamic and innovative electric vehicle caters to the needs of urban dwellers, offering a unique blend of style, performance, and practicality.
  • The BMW CE 02 breaks away from traditional categorizations, standing as neither an e-motorbike nor an e-scooter.

Instead, it represents a fresh approach to urban mobility, designed to captivate the younger generation. With its nimble and robust build, the CE 02 is tailored for the city and urban environments, boasting large wheels for both durability and thrilling rides across various terrains.

Sporting a progressive design, the CE 02 showcases new proportions and ample opportunities for personalization. The sleek black frame, wheels, front fender, and triple clamp fairing harmonize with the contrasting granite grey metallic matt engine cover. Additionally, the CE 02 is available in the vibrant HIGHLINE version, featuring gold-anodized forks and a captivating tape design with Petrol as a contrasting color.

Power and efficiency are at the heart of the BMW CE 02. With two performance variants available, riders aged 16 and above can experience the thrill of the CE 02’s maximum power output of 11 kW (15 hp). For riders with an AM driving license, a 4 kW (5 hp) version, limited to 45 km/h, provides a suitable option. With a top speed of 95 km/h and a range exceeding 90 km (11 kW version according to WMTC), the CE 02 delivers both agility and endurance for extended urban adventures.

Weighing just 132 kg (11 kW version) or 119 kg (4 kW version) and featuring a low seat height of 750 mm, the CE 02 is designed with playful handling in mind. Maneuvering through crowded streets becomes a breeze, enhancing the overall riding experience.

The BMW CE 02 offers a range of riding modes to suit different preferences. The “Flow” and “Surf” modes come as standard, providing optimal setups for urban cruising and dynamic riding experiences, respectively. For those seeking an even more spirited ride, the “Flash” driving mode is available as part of the HIGHLINE optional equipment or as an original BMW Motorrad accessory.

Charging the CE 02 is convenient and efficient. The eParkourer comes with an external charger featuring a 0.9 kW charging power, enabling quick and easy charging at standard household sockets. For faster charging, a 1.5 kW quick charger is available as part of the HIGHLINE optional equipment or as an accessory (11 kW version only).

The BMW CE 02 boasts a robust chassis, featuring a double-loop tube frame made of tubular steel for enhanced rigidity. Telescopic forks and a single-sided swingarm ensure a comfortable and stable ride. Equipped with disc brakes and BMW Motorrad ABS, the CE 02 offers reliable and safe deceleration.

The cockpit of the CE 02 features an easy-to-read TFT display, providing essential information such as riding speed and battery charge status. A USB-C charging port is also included, allowing riders to power their smartphones on the go. By utilizing the BMW Motorrad Connected app, riders can monitor the charging process and access other vehicle information through their smartphones. In the HIGHLINE variant, the app can be safely controlled via the handlebar keypad, enhancing convenience and safety.

The new BMW CE 02 sets new standards in urban electric mobility.
