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
presenting another
e-vehicle for urban conurbations after the CE
04 and is thus consistently pursuing its electric mobility strategy.
Thanks to its electric drive, trend-setting design and innovative
solutions, the eParkourer is a dynamic partner for a new kind of
mobility and provides great riding fun in an urban environment.
Progressive design with new proportions and plenty of room for
individualisation.
The new BMW CE 02 represents a new
way of accessing
BMW Motorrad. It’s electric, it appeals
especially to young people and it’s neither an e-motorbike nor an
e-scooter. It’s an eParkourer. Created for the city and the urban
environment. Nimble, practical, robust and reduced to the essentials
in terms of design. Large wheels meet the demand for robustness and at
the same time ensure riding fun on many terrains. Black as the basic
colour for the frame, wheels, front fender and triple clamp fairing at
the top, and granite grey metallic matt for the engine cover offer
just as exciting a contrast as the interplay of matt and high-gloss
surfaces. In the special HIGHLINE version, the new CE 02 puts in an
extroverted and colourful appearance. Forks anodised in gold and a
tape design in combination with Petrol as a contrasting colour make
the CE 02 look dynamic and future-oriented even when standing still.
Powerful drive, low weight and practice-oriented range.
The powerful drive enables the 11kW CE 02 to accelerate quickly at
traffic lights and offers a dynamic riding experience. With a top
speed of 95 km/h, progress is speedy on freeways and a range of more
than 90 km allows for extended urban adventures.
Thanks to its
low weight of only 132 kg and the low seat height of only 750 mm, the
new CE 02 is also characterised by its playful handling characteristics.
Two riding modes "Flow" and "Surf" as
standard and "Flash" as optional equipment and original
BMW Motorrad accessory.
The new CE 02 comes with the
"Flow" and "Surf" riding modes as standard.
"Flow" offers the optimal set-up for cruising along in urban
traffic, while "Surf" provides a dynamic riding experience
beyond the bustling city traffic. The "Flash" driving mode
is also available as a sporty and dynamic addition as part of the
HIGHLINE optional equipment and as an original BMW Motorrad accessory.
External charger as standard and a quick charger as optional
equipment and as an Original BMW Motorrad
accessory.
The new BMW CE 02 comes as standard with an
external charger with a charging power of 0.9 kW, which enables
charging processes to be carried out quickly and conveniently at
standard household sockets. It's even faster with the quick charger
with 1.5 kW charging power, which is available in the HIGHLINE
optional equipment and as an Original BMW Motorrad accessory.
Chassis with double-loop tube frame, telescopic forks,
single-sided swingarm and cast light alloy wheels.
As
far as the chassis is concerned the new BMW CE 02 relies on a
torsionally rigid double-loop frame made of tubular steel.
Hydraulically damped telescopic forks operate at the front, while a
single-sided swingarm and a directly pivoted shock absorber are used
at the rear. Wide tyres are mounted on cast light alloy wheels in disc
wheel design and disc brakes ensure safe deceleration at the front and
rear. BMW Motorrad ABS is featured at the front.
TFT display, USB-C charging port and connectivity
solutions.
In the cockpit, an easy-to-read TFT display
informs the rider about riding speed, battery charge status and much
more. A USB-C charging socket also allows you to supply a smartphone
with power. Using the BMW Motorrad Connected app, your smartphone
shows you the predicted end of charging thanks to networking via
Bluetooth, as on the BMW CE 04. In the HIGHLINE variant, the cradle
mode allows the BMW Motorrad app in the smartphone (held in a
smartphone holder) to be controlled safely as an additional display
using the keypad on the handlebar. It is also possible to record your
trips using the app. With the BMW Motorrad Connected Services (also
included in the HIGHLINE package) the charging status and other CE 02
vehicle information can be viewed at any time from anywhere via the app.
