BMW Motorrad unveils the BMW CE 02, its new electric urban ride for young enthusiasts and those young at heart.
BMW Motorrad presents the 2024 BMW CE 02, an electric vehicle designed to captivate the hearts of young riders. Breaking away from traditional categorizations, the BMW CE 02 stands as an innovative eParkourer, purpose-built for urban environments. Its nimble agility, practicality, and minimalist design combine robustness with an exhilarating riding experience on various terrains.
Set to arrive in the U.S. with an MSRP of $7,599, the 2024 BMW CE 02 showcases a distinctive design emphasizing proportionality. The black frame, wheels, front fender, and triple clamp fairing complement the granite grey metallic matt motor cover, creating an eye-catching contrast. The minimalist aesthetics offer endless possibilities for personal customization, enabling owners to express their unique style. Additionally, the optional HIGHLINE package enhances the bike’s dynamic appeal, featuring gold-anodized forks and a captivating tape design in combination with Petrol as a contrasting color.
The new BMW CE 02 boasts impressive features and specifications, making it a standout in its class. With a maximum power of 15 hp, a rated capacity of 8 hp, and a torque of 40.6 lb-ft, the CE 02 accelerates swiftly and delivers an exhilarating ride. Equipped with two 48V, 1.96 kWh lithium-ion batteries, CE 02 offers an extended range of over 56 miles, perfect for urban adventures. The low weight of only 291 pounds and seat height of 29.5 inches contribute to its exceptional maneuverability and handling.
Riders can choose from two standard riding modes: “Flow” and “Surf.” The “Flow” mode offers a softer throttle response and medium energy recovery, providing an optimal setup for urban traffic. On the other hand, the “Surf” mode delivers a dynamic acceleration experience with direct throttle response and zero recovery, allowing for maximum coasting and effortless cruising. The optional HIGHLINE package adds a third driving mode, “Flash,” which offers a sporty and dynamic riding experience.
Safety and convenience are paramount in the BMW CE 02 as it features BMW Motorrad ABS (front wheel only), ASC (Automatic Stability Control), and RSC (Recuperation Stability Control) for enhanced power transmission and stability on varying road surfaces. Including a reversing aid simplifies maneuvering, ensuring effortless handling in tight spaces. The 3.5″ micro TFT display provides essential information at a glance, while the USB-C socket allows for convenient smartphone charging.
The BMW CE 02’s chassis is designed for optimal agility and control. Its torsionally rigid double-loop frame, constructed with tubular steel, ensures stability and precise handling. The front wheel is guided by hydraulically damped 37 mm telescopic forks, while the rear features a single-sided die-cast aluminum swingarm with an adjustable spring base. The 14-inch cast light alloy disk wheels with wide tires provide a secure grip. Disc brakes at the front and rear, supported by BMW Motorrad ABS, ensure reliable deceleration.
Owners can explore additional equipment options and accessories to personalize their BMW CE 02. The HIGHLINE package includes the striking Cosmic Black 2 color scheme, complemented by a tri-color seat and gold forks, creating a dynamic and futuristic look. The package also offers a 1.5 kW quick charger, Bluetooth interface, smartphone tray, seat heating, and BMW Motorrad Connected Services.
