BMW unveils electric scooter CE 04. It offers futuristic design and up to 42 horsepower. What price?

BMW Motorrad expands its range of motorcycles with the first electric machine. However, in addition to the drive, the CE 04 model also impresses with its design.


He is significantly unusual and futuristic. The look follows the series of concept motorcycles, which began in 2017 with the introduction of the BMW Motorrad Concept Link concept and continued with the almost standard BMW Motorrad Definition CE 04 machine, introduced in 2020. So now we have a production version.

It is powered by an electric motor with a permanent magnet located in the frame between the battery and the rear wheel, which provides a maximum output of 31 kW (42 hp). The manufacturer claims that the scooter will get from rest to 50 km / h in 2.6 seconds.

In the reduced power class of the L3e-A1, a drive power of 23 kW (31 hp) is available. The maximum speed of both versions is 120 km / h.

The electric motor draws energy from a battery with a capacity of 8.9 kWh, which is enough for a range of approximately 130 km (for the version with a reduced output of 100 km). The lithium-ion battery can be charged from a standard household outlet, from a Wallbox or at a public charging station.

When the battery is completely discharged, it ideally takes 4 hours and 20 minutes to charge from a standard outlet, with the quick charger, which is available as an optional accessory and whose power reaches up to 6.9 kW (standard level is 2.3 kW). shortens the charge to 1 hour and 40 minutes when the battery is completely discharged. If the battery charge level is only 20%, it takes 80 percent to charge 45 percent with the quick charger.
