BMW Motorrad has launched the CE04 electric scooter in Malaysia. The CE04 made its debut at the 2023 Malaysia Autoshow with futuristic and sharp looks, promising features, and a hefty price tag to match.
The big scooter uses a frame-mounted electric motor and belt drive, managing 42 hp, and 62 Nm of torque. Its 8.9 kWh lithium-ion battery allows for 130 km of driving range on a single charge.
BMW Motorrad claims that the CE04 can travel at a maximum speed of 120 km/h, while a zero-to-50 km/h run takes 2.6 seconds, which is rather quick.
Quick charging with a Type 2 charger output of 6.9 kW takes an hour and 40 minutes till full charge, while the typical 2.3 kW charger allows for a charging time of four hours and 20 minutes.
The dual four-piston calipers disc brakes on the front and a single-piston floating caliper disc brake in the back allow for good stopping power. BMW Motorrad’s two-wheel ABS is standard for this e-scooter.
CE04 is suspended by a single-bridge telescopic fork in the front, and a single-sided swingarm and central spring strut in the back. It weighs 231 kg and has a 780 mm seat height.
The electric scooter has three ride modes — Eco, Rain, and Road — while a fourth, Dynamic mode, is an optional extra. The BMW Motorrad Connected App powers a 10.25-inch TFT color display with Integrated Map Navigation, turn-by-turn navigation, vehicle status, and statistics.
The Connected app shows the rider the estimated charging time, battery life, and range. Other amenities include
- Dash-mounted USB charging port
- A storage compartment with USB ports
- A 12 Volt socket
- Illuminated flex case
- Keyless ride
- Reversing aid
- Helmet storage
- Courtesy light
All this comes at a huge price, though, as the BMW CE04 costs an eye-watering Rs. 3.7 million. While not a mass-market product, CE04 is a great e-scooter for enthusiasts.
