BMW Motorrad Launches CE 04 Electric Scooter In India
On Wednesday, BMW Motorrad officially launched its flagship electric scooter CE 04 in the Indian market. The BMW CE 04, priced at ₹14.90 lakh (ex-showroom), will be available as a completely built-in unit. Deliveries are set to begin in September.
Charging Convenience Options
The BMW CE 04, India’s most expensive electric scooter, features an 8.5 kWh battery pack providing a claimed range of up to 130 kilometers on a single charge. It includes a complimentary 2.3 kW home charger, which charges from 0 to 80% in 3 hours and 30 minutes. Additionally, an optional BMW Wallbox charger is offered for charging convenience.
Impressive Power Specifications
The CE 04 also claimed the title of the highest power-rated electric two-wheeler in the Indian market. Its liquid-cooled, permanent-magnet synchronous motor generates 42 horsepower and 62 Nm of peak torque. The e-scooter achieves a top speed of 120 kmph and accelerates from 0 to 50 kmph in just 2.6 seconds.
BMW CE-04 arrives at ₹14.90 lakh. So about as much as a Nexon EV. Just for perspective.
