BMW Motorrad has officially commenced production of the CE02 electric scooter in India taking place at the TVS Motor Company’s plant, located in Hosur, near Chennai.

The BMW CE02, a product of the collaboration between BMW and TVS, has already established a presence in international markets, and its arrival in the Indian market marks a significant milestone in the growing trend towards electric mobility.

One of the most striking features of the BMW CE02 is its unique and distinctive styling. Beneath its unconventional appearance lies an impressive electric powertrain. 

The scooter is equipped with a 2 kWh battery, and what sets it apart is the customer’s choice between a single or dual battery setup. This choice allows riders to opt for a remarkable 90km of range and a top speed of 95km per hour or a more conservative setup offering a 45km range and a maximum speed of 45km per hour.

Beyond its cutting-edge electric powertrain, the BMW CE02 comes loaded with a suite of features designed to provide riders with a convenient and enjoyable experience. 

These features include multiple ride modes, energy-efficient LED lighting, a reverse gear for easy maneuverability, keyless operation for added convenience, a USB charging port, and a user-friendly 3.5-inch TFT display. Safety is a top priority, as the scooter comes equipped with ABS as a standard feature.

Moreover, BMW offers an array of accessories for the CE02, allowing riders to personalize their experience. These accessories include soft seats for enhanced comfort, a luggage set for practicality, a windscreen for improved aerodynamics, and a top case for added storage capacity.

In terms of hardware, the BMW CE02 incorporates USD forks for precise handling, adjustable rear shock absorbers for customizable suspension settings, a 239mm front disc brake, and a 220mm rear disc brake for confident stopping power. 

The scooter rides on 14-inch wheels and is wrapped in high-quality 120/80 and 150/70 section tires, providing stability and grip on various road surfaces.

Shell Malaysia has answered the clamour of its customers by introducing a new 1.2-litre pack of the premium Shell Advance 4T Long Ride 10W-40 motorcycle engine oil. 

This innovation aims to cater to the needs of modern motorcycles in Malaysia, which often require this particular volume for optimal performance and protection.

Priced at RM68.80 for Peninsular Malaysia and RM69 for East Malaysia, the Shell Advance 4T Long Ride is a fully synthetic 4-stroke motorcycle engine oil featuring PurePlus Technology. 

Nyon Kam Yew, the General Manager of Shell Lubricants Business Malaysia and Singapore, highlighted the advantages of the new 1.2-litre pack, which not only meets market demand but also streamlines bike maintenance, reduces the need for multiple purchases, and ensures precise lubrication levels for peak engine performance and longevity.

Developed by Shell, PurePlus Technology utilizes a pioneering process to deliver a crystal-clear base oil that is 99.5% pure and derived from natural gas. This technology ensures the oil’s durability during extended journeys, spanning up to 6,000 kilometers, without compromising engine performance or protection.

Furthermore, the formulation includes Shell’s unique Active Cleansing Technology, which efficiently cleanses and sustains a cleaner engine. This extends the oil’s service life, allowing the engine to function trouble-free and more efficiently, particularly during lengthy excursions. Consequently, riders can anticipate reduced oil consumption and enhanced peace of mind.

The product is now available at participating Shell-branded and independent workshops, providing an efficient and convenient solution for motorcycle enthusiasts in Malaysia.
