BMW Motorrad Presents The New BMW CE 02

With the new BMW CE 02, BMW Motorrad is presenting another e-vehicle for urban conurbations.

BMW Motorrad has recently unveiled its latest electric gem, the BMW CE 02.

The BMW CE 02 is a game-changer, especially for our young urban adventurers. It’s not your run-of-the-mill e-motorbike or e-scooter. Tailored for city life and urban exploration, this nimble machine is all about practicality without compromising on design.

The e-bike comes dressed in black – from the frame and wheels to the front fender and triple clamp fairing – a sleek contrast with the granite grey metallic matt engine cover. The interplay of matte and high-gloss surfaces adds an extra dose of sophistication.

The Highline version spices things up with gold-anodized forks and a vibrant tape design, complemented by a contrasting Petrol colour.

Its maximum power output is 11 kW (15 hp), but for those who want to start their urban adventures early, there’s a 4 kW (5 hp) version (rated power 3.2 kW (4 hp)) that’s limited to 45 km/h, meeting the requirements of some countries with junior licenses.

With the 11 kW version, the CE 02 can achieve a top speed of 95 km/h. The eParkourer, as BMW terms it, can cover over 90 km (11 kW version according to WMTC) on a single charge, perfect for all your urban escapades.

It’s not just about power either; the CE 02 weighs a mere 132 kg (11 kW version) or 119 kg (4 kW version) with a low seat height of 750 mm.

Now, let’s talk modes – “Flow” and “Surf” are the default riding companions, offering different setups for urban cruising and dynamic city riding, respectively. And for the sporty souls out there, the “Flash” driving mode is available only with the HIGHLINE version.

For riders, an easy-to-read TFT display keeps you informed about your riding speed, battery charge status, and more. There’s also a USB-C charging socket to keep your smartphone powered up. The BMW Motorrad Connected app adds an extra layer of convenience, predicting your charging time and letting you record your trips.
