Published: Wednesday, July 24, 2024, 9:36 [IST]

BMW will officially launch its CE 04 electric scooter in India today (July 24). The German auto giant has already opened bookings for this EV ahead of the price announcement. BMW Motorrad, the two-wheeler division of the luxury carmaker, is entering the Indian electric two-wheeler market with this premium offering.

BMW CE 04 Design

The BMW CE 04 features a unique design that combines futuristic elements with maxi-scooter proportions. Its flat bench seat and bulky front fascia make it stand out among other electric scooters. The scooter's dimensions, including a length of over two metres, add to its commanding presence.

BMW CE 04 Powertrain

The BMW CE04 is powered by a liquid-cooled electric motor delivering 41 bhp and a peak torque of 60 Nm. It has an electronically limited top speed of 120 kmph and can accelerate from 0-50 kmph in just 2.6 seconds. The scooter offers three riding modes: Eco, Rain, and Road to suit different conditions.

BMW CE 04 Range

The CE 04's 8.9 kWh battery pack provides a range of around 130 km on a single charge (WMTC cycle). It supports DC fast charging, allowing the battery to charge from 0-100 per cent in about 1 hour and 40 minutes.

BMW CE 04 Features

BMW has equipped the CE 04 with numerous features aimed at enhancing safety and convenience. These include ABS, ASC, traction control, and a keyless ride system. A ventilated storage compartment adds practicality, while a 10.25-inch TFT display with BMW Motorrad Connectivity enhances the riding experience.

DriveSpark Thinks

When launched, we expect the new BMW CE 04 electric scooter to open a whole new segment in the Indian two-wheeler industry. Also, the launch of such models will push more automakers to jump on the EV bandwagon.

This will not only help boost EV sales, but it will also accelerate the EV adoption in the country, which can apparently have a positive impact on all sectors in the future.
