BMW’s CE 02 Electric Scooter Aims to Revolutionize Urban Transportation
BMW is enlarging its range of electric motorcycles, or rather, electric scooters. The latest addition, the CE 02, is smaller in size compared to the recently launched CE 04 and is aimed at attracting a younger demographic of buyers.
In fact, BMW doesn’t even want to call it a scooter. Instead, it calls it eParkourer. Yes, it’s a mouthful and yes it’s mostly just marketing stuff, but the CE 02 looks like a nicer version of the Honda Rukus with an electric drivetrain.
BMW says it has a range of more than 55 miles with the 11kW version and a top speed of around 59mph. So it is definitely built for urban transportation. It starts at $7,599 before destination charges. The larger, more powerful and longer-range CE 04 starts at $12,700, which helps set expectations.
BMW also introduced Motorrad smart glasses that show speed, speed limit, gear (for gas bikes) and turns. The glasses will work with any of the company’s current bikes using the Motorrad app, and they don’t have a price yet.
The CE 02 will be available in spring 2024, while the smart glasses will be available this summer. Watch the full story in the video below.
