Urban freedom: the new fully electric BMW CE 04!

“Our BMW CE 04 is the new electric champion for the city. Like no other, he combines electric mobility with emotions and great driving pleasure. With the CE 04, we not only rely on the latest technologies, but also on the best battery cells, which are also used in the BMW iX. All future new models from BMW Motorrad for urban mobility will be purely electric, just like the CE 04. " Oliver Zipse, CEO of BMW AG.

The new BMW CE 04 - the silent revolution: A new chapter in urban two-wheel mobility with electric drive.

With the new BMW CE 04, BMW Motorrad is consistently continuing its electromobility strategy for urban areas. As the final series vehicle of the BMW Motorrad Concept Link presented in 2017 and the series-based BMW Motorrad Definition CE 2020 presented in 04, a new chapter in urban two-wheel mobility begins with the BMW CE 04. With an electric drive, trend-setting design and innovative connectivity solutions, the new scooter combines the functions of means of transport and communication in one for the new mobility in the urban environment.

Powerful drive power and ample range for confident driving in the city and in urban areas.

With a maximum output of 31 kW (42 hp), the new BMW CE 04 is powerfully motorized and offers a high level of driving pleasure. It completes the classic “traffic light start” discipline from 0 to 50 km / h in just 2,6 seconds. Even in the power-reduced vehicle class L3e-A1, there is still powerful drive power available with 23 kW (31 PS). The maximum speed for both versions is 120 km / h - for rapid progress not only in the city, but also on expressways and motorway sections.

With 60,6 Ah (8,9 kWh), the new BMW CE 04 has a generous cell capacity of the battery and provides a range of around 130 kilometers (reduced-power version: 100 km). This means that everyday, emission-free driving in the city, in an urban environment as well as small pleasure tours after work or on the weekend are carefree.

Innovative electric drive with liquid-cooled e-machine.

The drive of the new BMW CE 04 is a permanently excited electric machine that is fixed to the frame in the area between the battery and the rear wheel and is used in a similar form in BMW automobiles such as the 225xe Active Tourer. In extensive driving tests, BMW Motorrad has developed its own recuperation version for each driving mode that is very comfortable for the rider. This means that the optimum performance and driving characteristics are available for every driving situation.

Short charging times and charging technology based on car models.

The lithium-ion battery is charged using the integrated charger, either at a socket in the household electricity network, 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 quick charger with up to 6,9 kW of power (2,3 kW as standard), the charging time is reduced to just 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. Depending on the market, the standard charging cable with 2,3 kW charging power is part of the standard specification of the BMW CE 04.

A mode 3 charging cable is required for quick charging at the wallbox at home or at a public charging station. As with BMW automobiles, BMW Charging is also available for the BMW CE 04. For the greatest possible flexibility through numerous tailor-made offers for charging at home, on the go and at work.

Increased driving stability through slip control using ASC (Automatic Stability Control). DTC (Dynamic Traction Control) as an ex-works option.

Similar to the Automatic Stability Control on BMW motorcycles with combustion engines, this traction control is also available on the new BMW CE 04. ASC limits the engine torque depending on the rear wheel slip. The Dynamic Traction Control DTC (Dynamic Traction Control), which is available as an option, ensures even more driving safety. DTC makes it possible to accelerate even more safely, especially in an inclined position.

Three driving modes "ECO", "Rain" and "Road" for efficient, everyday use as standard. "Dynamic" driving mode for even more driving fun as an ex-works option.

Particularly important during development for BMW Motorrad was the ability to use the new BMW CE 04 individually according to the rider's wishes, either with the greatest possible efficiency or with the greatest possible driving pleasure. Accordingly, the new BMW CE 04 already has the three driving modes "ECO", "Rain" and "Road" as standard. The additional “Dynamic” driving mode is also available as an ex-works option, giving the vehicle even more lively acceleration.

Track-stable chassis with one-piece tubular steel main frame for playful handling and high driving comfort.

The main frame is a tubular steel construction. The front wheel is guided by a telescopic fork with a 35 mm immersion tube diameter. The rear wheel is guided by a single swing arm. At the rear, suspension and damping are provided by a directly hinged, fully covered strut placed on the left. The new BMW CE 04 is equipped with generously dimensioned tires of the dimensions 120/70 R15 67H at the front and 160/60 R15 56H at the rear.

Powerful braking system with the latest ABS generation. ABS Pro suitable for lean angles as an ex-works option.

A double disc brake at the front ensures safe deceleration, supported by a single-disc system at the rear. In addition, the BMW Motorrad ABS ensures a high level of active safety. The ABS Pro, which is available as an optional extra, goes even further. By means of a lean angle sensor system, ABS Pro also regulates braking in bends and thus offers the greatest possible level of safety.

10,25-inch TFT color display with integrated map navigation for convenient route planning and extensive connectivity as standard.

The new BMW CE 04 is equipped as standard with a 10,25-inch TFT color display with integrated map navigation and connectivity. With excellent legibility, clear menu navigation and a highly integrated operating concept, the new BMW CE 04 is at the forefront of the scooter segment.
The 10,25-inch color display makes it possible, among other things, to show a navigation map in the instrument cluster, thus eliminating the need for an additional display.

Powerful LED lighting units all around. Adaptive headlight Pro headlights and light functions as factory-fitted options.

The light units of the new BMW CE 04 are based on the latest LED technology. They include a headlamp for high and low beam at the front. In addition to a rear light in LED technology, LED indicators are also used. The indicator lights are also based on LED technology. The Headlight Pro adaptive headlights offer even more safety at night as an ex-works option. The driver benefits from even better illumination of the road in curves and thus drives even safer at night. Special light functions such as “Welcome” and “Good Bye” are also available as factory-fitted options.

Future-oriented design and color concept.

The new BMW CE 04 embodies a new, future-oriented form of urban two-wheel mobility in design and uses an innovative design language that arouses emotions for this new drive technology and immediately identifies it as a member of the BMW Motorrad family. The modern surface work is impressively evident in light white, complemented by matt black areas in the front and side areas as well as the “floating” bench. There are also pioneering wheels (Solid Wheels) with a disc wheel look and a side support integrated into the design language. The new BMW CE 04 is presented in the Avantgarde style (optional equipment ex works) as a concise, colorful statement for contemporary urban mobility. In this style, the color magellan gray metallic is complemented by a black / orange bench, an orange wind deflector and various graphics.

“The new BMW CE 04 is the logical and at the same time rethought continuation of the electromobility strategy of BMW motorcycle. Urban agglomerations are his playing field. Here it sets new standards both technically and visually. " Florian Römhild, Project Manager BMW CE 04.
