BMW Motorad has showcased the upcoming BMW CE 04 electric scooter in the Indian market. The CE 04 was showcased alongside the 2023 BMW S 1000 RR sports bike. The BMW CE will probably fall under CBU regulations with a hefty price tag to match its exquisite design and features.
The BMW CE 04 is an ultra-premium e-scooter with a maxi-style futuristic look. It is aimed at the ultra-high segment of the two-wheeler EV market in India and is probably the most expensive e-scooter in India. It has an electronically limited top speed of 120km/h and a range of 130km on a single charge.
The CE 04 can accelerate from 0-50km/h in 2.6 seconds and features a couple of charging options. You can use a 2.3kW charger to fully charge the e-bike in less than 4.5 hours or a 6.9kW charger takes 1.67 hours (100 minutes).
The BMW CE 04 features LED lighting, a sustainability-focused powertrain, and sci-fi-inspired styling cues. It has floating panels, minimalist graphics, an exposed rear wheel, and contrasting orange highlights. The CE 04 is powered by the 20hp liquid-cooled PMSM electric motor and an 8.9kWh battery pack. It is equipped with dual 265mm front discs and a single rear disc. It also features ABS and traction control for enhanced safety for users.
The new BMW e-bike weighs 231g and has a 780mm seating height. There are several other custom accessories that will be available with the package. It has a ventilated mobile charging compartment, a helmet storage compartment, and a large 10.5-inch HD TFT infotainment display.
The infotainment screen provides split-screen functionality, navigation tools, and other performance metrics.
The BMW CE 04 was shipped to the subcontinent to gauge customer reaction and analyze the feasibility of its introduction to the market. It has a tubular chassis and a 35mm telescopic fork at the front plus a rear mono-shock system and a unique swingarm.
The e-scooter’s 15-inch front and rear wheels provide some balance while on the ride. There are no release dates yet for the India launch of the bike but it could be soon. As per pricing, the BMW CE 04 could cost up to 20 Lakhs (~$24,000).
