In 2020 BMW had the Electric scooter study definition CE 04 presented. The successor to the C Evolution is the CE 04, which hardly differs from the study.

  • Conclusion

Like many other electrical concepts, the CE 04 is not intended for long-distance mobility. The Bavarian electric scooter should bring its riders to their destination in an environmentally friendly, quiet and comfortable way in an urban environment.

Also as “125cc” to have

Its electric motor has a peak output of 31 kW – equivalent to 42 hp in conventional hp currency – and manages the classic traffic light sprint from zero to 50 km / h in 2.6 seconds. The continuous output is 15 kW (20 HP). In order to be attractive for car license holders, BMW is also launching the CE 04 in a vehicle class L3e-A1 version with 23 kW (31 PS) peak output. In terms of approval, the BMW scooter is then on the road with 11 kW (15 PS) continuous output in the 125 cc class and is also allowed to use the B196 license be moved. The top speed is limited to 120 km / h in both cases. The maximum torque is 62 Nm in each case. For easier maneuvering, the CE 04 also has a reverse function that is activated by a button and allows maximum walking speed.

With its 8.9 kWh lithium-ion battery, the CE 04 has a range of up to 130 kilometers. The reduced-power variant creates 100 kilometers.

Dimensions and weight like a motorcycle

The backbone of the CE 04 is a tubular steel construction. The front wheel is guided by a telescopic fork with a 35 mm immersion tube diameter and 110 mm spring travel. The rear wheel is guided by a single swing arm. At the rear, suspension and damping are provided by a directly hinged, fully covered spring strut with a 92 mm stroke that is placed on the left. A 120/70 tire at the front and a 160/60 tire at the rear rotate on the 15-inch wheels. With a wheelbase of 1,675 mm, a steering head angle of 63.5 degrees and a caster of 120 mm, the BMW CE 04 has basic, motorcycle-like, geometric chassis data. In terms of weight, however, at 231 kilograms, it is fully in the big bike range. The two-seater’s payload is 179 kilograms.

The permanently excited, liquid-cooled electric motor, which was derived from the BMW hybrid car models, is fixed to the frame in the area between the battery and the rear wheel. The final drive runs over a toothed belt. It is decelerated with a double disc brake system at the front and a single disc at the rear. The disks measure every 265 mm in diameter. The parking brake is automatically activated when the side stand is down.

In the best case, recharged in under 2 hours

The battery can be recharged using the integrated 2.3 kW charger either at a socket in the household power supply, at a wallbox or at a public charging station. The charging time for a completely flat battery is 4 hours and 20 minutes. With the optional 6.9 kW fast charger, the charging time is reduced to 1 hour and 40 minutes when the battery is completely empty. If the battery is discharged to 20 percent and is charged to 80 percent, the charging time can be reduced to 45 minutes with the quick charger. The standard charging cable (mode 2) is standard equipment in most markets, all others have to be purchased. Of course, the CE 04 also recuperates in push mode and when braking.

A slip control on the rear wheel as well as a banking-sensitive traction control and cornering ABS ensure driving safety. The driving modes Eco, Rain and Road are standard on board. For a surcharge, the dynamic mode brings even more lively acceleration.

Digital and networked

A 10.25-inch TFT color display with integrated map navigation and connectivity functions acts as the human-machine interface – it used to be called the cockpit. The displays can be configured in many ways. The entire lighting is based on LED technology. Adaptive headlights and greeting / farewell functions are available at an additional cost. Other features include the helmet storage compartment behind a hinged door on the side under the 780 millimeter high seat and a second storage compartment in the panel with a USB charging port.

The BMW CE 04 comes free of charge in white with black elements. Anyone who chooses the Avantgarde style pays and receives the color magellan gray metallic in combination with a black / orange bench, an orange wind deflector and various graphics.

BMW calls the price for the CE 04 11,990 euros. This is well below the 15,000 euros that were last called for the predecessor C Evolution. Orders can be placed immediately, delivery is expected to start in spring 2022.

opinion poll

Which electric concept on two wheels is the right one for you?

Voted 9055 times

If so, then only a powerful electric motorcycle.

I can imagine an electric scooter for commuting and city traffic.

A small, agile electric moped is definitely fun.

None at all.

Conclusion

BMW is launching a new electric scooter. Its purpose is clearly designed for urban traffic. In terms of driving dynamics, the CE 04 should be on a motorcycle level. However, also in terms of weight and dimensions. And at almost 12,000 euros, it’s not a bargain either.
