BMW is apparently planning on launching a new premium electric scooter market in India. And now, a new report has revealed that supposed pricing for this upcoming high EV.
According to a 91Mobiles report, BMW Motorrad, the automobile giant’s motorcycle unit, is gearing up to launch a premium electric scooter in India. The model in question is the BMW CE 04 maxi scooter. The Bavarian company had previously launched the BMW C 400 GT maxi scooter in the country, so this model will be the next electric scooter entry in India. The C 400 GT maxi model had performed well for its 1 lakh INR (roughly 12,511 US Dollars) price tag, so it appears that the brand plans on launching another premium model.
With such a price tag, the company is clearly targeting the wealthy and motor enthusiasts in the country. The robust sales of the previous model likely also gave top executives more confidence in the Indian market. So now, it is rumored that BMW plans on launching the CE 04 premium electric scooter model in India through the CBU route. The report adds that the CE 04 maxi model will be imported through the CBU import and could cost somewhere between 15 lakhs INR to 18 lakhs INR (roughly 18,765 to 22, 517 US Dollars).
For those unaware, the CE 04 is an ultra premium scooter that brings some concept design features. This model offers a 20hp liquid cooled PMSM paired with a 8.9kWh battery pack that offers around a 130km of range on a single charge. Furthermore, it can reach 0 to 50kmph in just 2.6 seconds, with an electronically limited top speed of 120kmph.
