BMW, the company known for its luxury cars, has lately been focusing on electric vehicles and has revealed several concepts over the past few years. In the latest move, the firm has unveiled a new concept — BMW CE 02 mini-bike.

The BMW CE 02, which is revealed just a week before the IAA Mobility Conference in the company’s home market Germany, is a two-wheeler that resembles the CE 04 concept bike which the company plans to start producing.

It has a minimalist look in silver and black colors with “technoid typography.” There’s a circular LED headlight as well as a small display sitting between the handlebars for displaying information like speed and battery status.

Interestingly, the company has opted to make it a simple digital display for necessary information, without the need to connect the bike to a smartphone or an application, which is frankly refreshing to hear at a time when everything is getting connected to the phone.

The product packs an 11kW belt-driven motor that can reach a top speed of 90kmph (approximately 55 miles per hour). While the company has not revealed the battery capacity, it has shared that a fully charged battery in CE 02 can provide a range of 90 kilometers. The whole package weighs 120 kilograms (approximately 265 pounds).

It appears that BMW is trying to position this product as a missing link between a scooter and a motorcycle, and is focusing on urban youngsters.

Although this is just a concept product from BMW, there’s a chance that it could actually go into production. If that happens, then there will be a few changes to its design as the company will need to add license plates, turn signals, reflectors, and fenders.
