The highly anticipated BMW CE 02 electric scooter has officially arrived in India, with the price set to be revealed on October 1, 2024.

This stylish scooter is produced in collaboration with TVS at their Hosur plant in Tamil Nadu and is designed for the urban crowd, particularly millennials and young riders. BMW describes it as an ‘eParkourer’, perfect for navigating city chaos with a fun and quirky design. It is smaller version of CE O4, which has been launched recently.

The CE 02 is equipped with a 3.92 kWh battery, boasting a claimed range of 108 km. It features a single electric motor that delivers a total power of 15 bhp and a peak torque of 55 Nm. Weighing in at 142 kg, this scooter has a seat height of 745 mm. It can accelerate from 0 to 50 km/h in just three seconds and has a top speed of 95 km/h.

Riders can choose between two standard riding modes: ‘Flow’ for smooth city cruising and ‘Surf’ for a more dynamic experience. Additionally, there’s an optional ‘Flash’ mode for those seeking a sporty ride as part of the Highline package.

The CE 02’s front end is fitted with hydraulically damped telescopic forks, while the rear features a single-sided swingarm made of die-cast aluminum, along with an adjustable shock absorber. The scooter rides on lightweight cast alloy wheels, equipped with wide tires for better stability.

Safety features include disc brakes at the front and rear, with ABS on the front wheel, plus Automatic Stability Control (ASC) and Recuperative Stability Control (RSC). A handy reverse assistant feature is also included.

Other impressive features of the CE 02 are keyless ride, LED headlights with daytime running lights, a 3.5-inch TFT screen, and a USB-C socket. Charging is convenient with a 1.5 kW external charger, taking about 3.5 hours to fully charge and just over 1.5 hours from 10-80 percent.

When it launches, the BMW CE 02 is expected to be priced between ₹4 lakh to ₹6 lakh (ex-showroom).
