The new BMW CE 02.

The new BMW CE 02 – neither e-scooter nor e-motorcycle: The cool eParkourer for cities and urban areas.

With the new BMW CE 02, BMW Motorrad is introducing an e-vehicle designed for urban areas, following the launch of the CE 04 two years ago. This is in line with their commitment to electric mobility. The eParkourer offers a dynamic and enjoyable riding experience in urban environments, thanks to its electric drive, innovative design, and practical features.

Progressive design with new proportions and plenty of room for individualization.

The new BMW CE 02 represents a new approach to BMW Motorrad. It is an electric vehicle that appeals specifically to young people and defies categorization as either an e-motorbike or an e-scooter. It is an eParkourer designed for the city and urban environments. The design is practical, robust, and minimalist. It features large wheels for durability and excellent performance on various terrains. The frame, wheels, front fender, and triple clamp fairing are all black, creating a striking contrast with the granite grey metallic matt engine cover. The interplay of matte and high-gloss surfaces adds to its visual appeal. The special HIGHLINE version features gold anodized forks and a tape design with Petrol as a contrasting color, giving the CE 02 a dynamic and futuristic look even when stationary.

Powerful drive, low weight, and practical range. Two performance variants.

Riders aged 16 or older can ride the new CE 02 with a maximum power output of 11 kW (15 hp). There is also a 4 kW (5 hp) version, limited to 45 km/h, which meets the requirements of the AM driving license class. This version can be ridden in Germany from the age of 15, as well as by riders with a car license. The powerful drive allows the 11 kW version to accelerate quickly at traffic lights and provides a dynamic riding experience. It has a top speed of 95 km/h and a range of over 90 km (11 kW version according to WMTC), making it suitable for extended urban adventures. The CE 02 weighs only 132 kg (11 kW version) or 119 kg (4 kW version) and has a low seat height of 750 mm, which contributes to its playful handling characteristics.

Two riding modes “Flow” and “Surf” as standard and optional “Flash” mode.

The new CE 02 comes with the “Flow” and “Surf” riding modes as standard. “Flow” is optimized for cruising in urban traffic, while “Surf” offers a more dynamic riding experience beyond city limits. The sporty and dynamic “Flash” driving mode is available as part of the HIGHLINE optional equipment and as an original BMW Motorrad accessory.

External charger as standard, optional quick charger.

The new BMW CE 02 comes with a standard external charger with a charging power of 0.9 kW, allowing for quick and convenient charging at standard household sockets. The HIGHLINE optional equipment includes a quick charger with a charging power of 1.5 kW. This option is only available for the 11 kW version and can also be purchased as an original BMW Motorrad accessory.

Chassis with double-loop tube frame, telescopic forks, single-sided swingarm, and cast light alloy wheels.

The chassis of the BMW CE 02 features a torsionally rigid double-loop frame made of tubular steel. It has hydraulically damped telescopic forks at the front, a single-sided swingarm, and a directly pivoted shock absorber at the rear. The bike is equipped with wide tires mounted on cast light alloy wheels in a disc wheel design. Disc brakes ensure safe deceleration at the front and rear wheels, and BMW Motorrad ABS is featured at the front.

TFT display, USB-C charging port, and connectivity solutions.

The cockpit of the CE 02 features an easy-to-read TFT display that provides information on riding speed, battery charge status, and more. There is also a USB-C charging socket for powering a smartphone. Using the BMW Motorrad Connected app, riders can see the estimated time remaining for charging, thanks to Bluetooth connectivity. In the HIGHLINE variant, the app can be controlled safely using the keypad on the handlebar, and trips can be recorded. The BMW Motorrad Connected Services, included in the HIGHLINE package, allow users to view the charging status and other CE 02 vehicle information via the app.
