BMW CE 04 electric scooter launched
Long, low proportions and a rather uncomfortable-looking ‘floating’ seat give the new BMW CE 04 electric scooter a distinctive appearance.
Built around a tubular steel frame, it features a liquid-cooled permanent-magnet electric motor and a single-speed transmission. Continuous and peak outputs are 20 PS (20 bhp / 15 kW) and 42 PS (41 bhp / 31 kW) respectively.
That’s enough to propel the CE 04 from standstill to 31 mph (50 km/h) in 2.6 seconds. However, if quicker acceleration is needed, then an optional ‘Dynamic’ riding mode can be ordered to supplement the regular ‘Road’, ‘Eco’ and ‘Rain’ settings.
To satisfy restricted licence requirements, BMW is also offering a reduced-power model which is rated at 15 PS (15 bhp / 11 kW) continuous and 31 PS (30 bhp / 23 kW) peak. Both CE 04 versions have a top speed of 74 mph (120 km/h).
Energy is stored in an 8.9 kWh (60.6 Ah) lithium-ion battery pack. Maximum range is 80 miles (130 kilometres), while recharging times naturally vary according to the method used.
A full replenishment takes 4 hours 20 minutes when plugged into a normal domestic socket. Alternatively, an optional 6.9 kW quick charger performs the same task in 1 hour 40 minutes, or it’s able to provide a top-up from 20 to 80 percent capacity in 45 minutes.
Standard equipment includes full LED lights, Automatic Stability Control, anti-lock brakes, a USB-C phone charging port, and a 10.25” TFT colour instrument display with integrated map navigation.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, there are quite a few other cost options to tempt customers. Among them are Dynamic Traction Control, ABS Pro and Headlight Pro. Furthermore, the Style Avantgarde package swaps the usual Light White colour scheme for Magellan Grey metallic paintwork with orange details.
UK on-the-road prices for the CE 04 start at £11,550. By comparison, a BMW C 400 X combustion-engine scooter currently costs £6,535.
