BMW Motorrad Unveils CE 02: Cutting-Edge Urban Electric eParkourer

BMW Motorrad continues its commitment to electric mobility with the launch of the new BMW CE 02, a cutting-edge e-vehicle designed specifically for urban conurbations.

Building on the success of the CE 04, which debuted two years ago, this latest addition to BMW’s electric lineup showcases the brand’s unwavering dedication to sustainable transportation.

The BMW CE 02 is not your average e-scooter or e-motorcycle. It represents the epitome of urban coolness, perfectly suited for cities and urban areas. Its electric drive system not only ensures a clean and eco-friendly mode of transportation but also delivers an exhilarating and dynamic riding experience.

With its trend-setting design and innovative features, the eParkourer is poised to redefine urban mobility, offering riders a new level of excitement while navigating city streets.

By introducing the BMW CE 02, BMW Motorrad is once again at the forefront of the electric mobility revolution, providing riders with an exciting and sustainable alternative for their urban commuting needs.

With its remarkable performance and sleek design, the eParkourer promises to deliver exceptional riding pleasure within the bustling city environment.

Powerful Performance and Practical Range: Two Variants for Riders of All Ages

The new CE 02 offers two performance options, combining a powerful drive with a lightweight design and practical range. Riders as young as 16 can experience the thrill of riding with the 11 kW (15 hp) version. For younger riders, there’s a 4 kW (5 hp) version limited to 45 km/h, meeting the requirements of the AM driving license class. In Germany, riders as young as 15 with a car license can enjoy the CE 02, subject to specific regulations in each country.

The robust drive system of the 11 kW version enables quick acceleration at traffic lights, delivering a dynamic riding experience. With a top speed of 95 km/h, the CE 02 is perfect for speedy journeys on expressways. Its impressive range of over 90 km (according to WMTC, 11 kW version) allows for extended urban adventures without worrying about recharging.

Weighing only 132 kg (11 kW version) or 119 kg (4 kW version) and boasting a low seat height of just 750 mm, the CE 02 excels in playful handling, making it a joy to maneuver through city streets.

Dynamic Riding Modes for the BMW CE 02:

The BMW CE 02 introduces a range of riding modes to suit various preferences and riding scenarios. The standard offering includes the “Flow” and “Surf” modes. “Flow” mode is specifically designed for smooth and comfortable cruising through urban traffic, ensuring an optimal setup for city rides.

On the other hand, “Surf” mode enhances the riding experience, offering a more dynamic and spirited performance beyond the confines of congested city streets.

For those seeking an even more exhilarating ride, the optional “Flash” mode is available. This sporty and dynamic mode can be added as part of the HIGHLINE optional equipment or as an original BMW Motorrad accessory, allowing riders to further personalize their CE 02 experience.

With the ability to select from these versatile riding modes, riders can tailor their CE 02 to their specific preferences and enjoy a truly customized and thrilling ride.

Progressive Design and Electrifying Style:

The innovative BMW CE 02 introduces a fresh approach to BMW Motorrad, offering a blend of modern design and customization options. It is an electric vehicle that specifically targets the younger generation, distinguishing itself as neither an e-motorbike nor an e-scooter, but rather an eParkourer.

Designed to excel in urban environments, it is agile, practical, sturdy, and features a minimalist design. Its large wheels provide both durability and an enjoyable riding experience across various terrains.

The frame, wheels, front fender, and triple clamp fairing are predominantly black, contrasting with the engine cover’s matte granite grey metallic finish, creating an exciting interplay of matte and glossy surfaces. For those seeking a more vibrant style, the special HIGHLINE version of the CE 02 showcases an outgoing and colorful appearance.

With gold-anodized forks and a tape design complemented by a contrasting Petrol color, the CE 02 exudes a dynamic and forward-looking aesthetic, even when stationary.

Seamless Connectivity and Intelligent Features:

The BMW CE 02 is equipped with a user-friendly TFT display, a convenient USB-C charging port, and various connectivity solutions. The clear and easily readable TFT display provides essential information to the rider, such as the current speed and battery charge status, among other details.

With the USB-C charging socket, riders can conveniently power their smartphones while on the go. By utilizing the BMW Motorrad Connected app, the smartphone can be connected via Bluetooth, enabling features like displaying the estimated time remaining for charging, similar to the BMW CE 04.

In the HIGHLINE version, the cradle mode allows for safe control of the BMW Motorrad app on the smartphone (held in a smartphone holder) as an additional display using the handlebar keypad.

Additionally, the app enables users to record their trips and access CE 02 vehicle information, including charging status and more, through the BMW Motorrad Connected Services, which are included in the HIGHLINE package. Stay connected and informed about your CE 02 from anywhere, at any time, with the BMW Motorrad Connected app.

The BMW CE 02’s Advanced Chassis Technology

The BMW CE 02 showcases a meticulously designed chassis that enhances performance and maneuverability. Its chassis features a strong and torsionally rigid double-loop frame, constructed with tubular steel.

At the front, hydraulic damped telescopic forks provide smooth suspension, while the rear utilizes a single-sided swingarm and a directly pivoted shock absorber. This combination ensures optimal stability and control.

The CE 02 is equipped with wide tires mounted on cast light alloy wheels, designed in a disc wheel style. To guarantee secure deceleration, the vehicle is equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear.

Additionally, the front brakes feature the advanced BMW Motorrad ABS system, further enhancing safety and control. With its expertly engineered chassis, the BMW CE 02 delivers an exceptional riding experience with precise handling and reliable braking performance.

Fast and Flexible Charging: Enhanced Charging Options

The BMW CE 02 includes an external charger as standard, providing a charging power of 0.9 kW. This allows for quick and convenient charging using standard household sockets. For even faster charging, an optional quick charger is available.

With a charging power of 1.5 kW, the quick charger significantly reduces charging times. This option is offered as part of the HIGHLINE optional equipment and can also be obtained as an Original BMW Motorrad accessory (available in the 11 kW version only).

Enjoy the flexibility of choosing the charging solution that best suits your needs, ensuring you can get back on the road swiftly with the BMW CE 02.
