BMW Motorrad rolls out new e-scooter for the urban jungle

By CARSIFU | 11 July 2023


MUNICH: The new BMW CE 02 represents a new way of accessing BMW Motorrad, but it’s neither an e-motorbike nor an e-scooter.

BMW calls it an eParkourer, on which large wheels meet the demand for robustness and at the same time, ensure riding fun on many terrains.

It’s electric, appeals especially to young people, and was created for the city and the urban environment.

BMW says riders aged 16 can ride the new CE 02 with a maximum power output of 11kW (15hp).

In a 4kW (5hp) (rated power 3.2 kW (4 hp)) version limited to 45 km/h, the new CE 02 also meets the requirements of the AM driving licence class and can be ridden in Germany, for example, from the age of 15 and by riders who have a car licence.

The powerful drive enables the new CE 02 in the 11 kW version to accelerate quickly at traffic lights.

With a top speed of 95 km/h, progress is speedy on expressways and a range of more than 90km (11 kW version according to WMTC) allows for extended urban adventures.

The new BMW CE 02 comes as standard with an external charger with a charging power of 0.9 kW, which enables charging processes to be carried out quickly and conveniently at standard household sockets.

It's even faster with the quick charger with 1.5 kW charging power, which is available in the HIGHLINE optional equipment and as an Original BMW Motorrad accessory (11 kW version only).

In the cockpit, an easy-to-read TFT display informs the driver about riding speed, battery charge status and much more. A USB-C charging socket also allows you to supply a smartphone with power.

Using the BMW Motorrad Connected app your smartphone shows you the predicted end of charging thanks to networking via Bluetooth, as on the BMW CE 04.

In the HIGHLINE variant, the cradle mode allows the BMW Motorrad app in the smartphone (held in a smartphone holder) to be controlled safely as an additional display using the keypad on the handlebar.

It is also possible to record your trips using the app. With the BMW Motorrad Connected Services (also included in the HIGHLINE package) the charging status and other CE 02 vehicle information can be viewed at any time from anywhere via the app.
