Two versions of BMW CE 02

BMW Motorrad is taking another step in its electric mobility strategy with the new CE 02. The Dutch market introduction is scheduled for spring 2024. There will be two versions. Choose from a variant with a system output of 4 kW (5 hp) – rated power 3.2 kW (4 hp) – and a limited top speed of 45 km/h. Thus, the CE 02 also meets the requirements of the AM driving license class, allowing riders as young as 16 years old to ride this lightweight electric two-wheeler.

The strong variant

BMW Motorrad additionally provides a variant with a maximum power output of 11 kW (15 hp), resulting in a dynamic riding experience and rapid acceleration at stoplights. The top speed of the powerful variant is 95 km/h and the range comes out to more than 90 kilometers (11 kW version according to WMTC). The weight of 132 kilograms applies to the 11 kW version. The 4 kW variant has a weight of 119 kilograms. Both versions have a seat height of 750 mm.

The BMW CE 02 AM is available in the Netherlands from 7,250 euros. The BMW CE 02 has a recommended retail price starting at 8,250 euros. According to the manufacturer, the CE 02 is not an e-motorcycle or e-scooter. It is a so-called eParkourer, made for the city or an urban environment.

BMW Motorrad uses black as the base color for the frame, wheels, front fender and top crown plate. The motorcycle cover is finished in the color Granite Grey metallic matte.
