BMW Motorrad Malaysia Previews The CE 04 – Official Launch In March, RM60k Est

In line with BMW Motorrad Malaysia’s plans for urban mobility, the CE 04 electric motorcycle officially debuts in Malaysia.

Powering the CE 04 is a liquid-cooled electric motor that produces the equivalent of 42hp and 62Nm.
The CE 04 is capable of hitting 0-50km/h in just 2.6 seconds.

Set for an official launch in March, pricing the fully electric motorcycle is estimated to be around RM60k.

BMW Motorrad opens its new chapter in electric mobility by introducing the all-new CE 04 two years ago in Europe.

The CE 04 is proof that BMW continues its pursuit of electromobility strategy for urban conurbations.

The CE 04 is powered by an electric motor capable of producing 31kW (42hp) and able to reach 0-50km/h in just 2.6 seconds.

Despite build as an urban commuter, BMW claimed the CE 04 has a maximum speed of 120 km/h while able to cover up to 130km thanks to a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 60.6 Ah (8.9 kWh).

According to BMW, the CE 04 is mounted with a permanent magnet electric motor located in the frame between the battery and the rear wheel.

As an added convenience, owners can charge the battery via a regular household socket, a wall box or at every public charging station.

BMW claimed that the charging time is around 4 hours and 20 minutes if the battery is completely flat, but owners can opt for a quick charger that cuts down the charging time to just 1 hour and 40 minutes.

However, if the battery level is at 20 per cent, the charging time to 80 per cent will take just 45 minutes.

Interestingly, like every petrol-powered BMW motorcycle, the CE 04 also offers Automatic Stability Control (ASC) as standard and Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) as an optional package.

The CE 04 also features three riding modes consisting of ECO, Rain and Road, while the (optional) Dynamic mode allows better acceleration.

Other exciting features include:

full LED light setup
tubular steel frame
telescopic front fork with 35mm slider tube
single-sided swingarm with a spring strut
120/70-R15 front tyre
160/60-R15 rear tyre
ABS (ABS Pro *optional)

The CE 04 also features a 10.25″ TFT screen with integrated map navigation and connectivity to complete the look of a modern futuristic scooter.
