BMW CE 04: from concept to production form
When BMW showcased the Motorrad Definition CE 04 concept in 2020 ,they mentioned that it was a near-production version of the BMW Motorrad Concept Link. Going by the looks of the production BMW CE 04, it looks rather futuristic, carrying forward a similar design as the concept.
It has a compact front apron, large side panels and a lean tail section with a bench-like seat. BMW is offering the CE 04 electric scooter in two colour options. The standard one comes in light white colour with matt black sections. The Avant Garde Style trim gets a Magellan Grey metallic colour, with black/orange seat and an orange wind deflector.
BMW has also incorporated storage compartments in the scooter. These are located on the sides as well as the front. There’s a ventilated mobile charging compartment as well, with a type-C USB charging port.
BMW CE 04: under the skin
The BMW CE 04 employs a permanent magnet motor, mounted in the steel frame, between the battery and rear wheel. It has a rated output of 15kW (20hp) and a maximum output of 31KW or 42hp. It enables the CE 04 to sprint from 0-50kph in 2.6s and go on to hit a top speed of 120kph. This should make the EV capable of handling both city and highway commutes with ease.
