In a city where every centimeter counts and every second makes a decision, BMW presents its latest miracle of technology – the BMW CE 02 electric motorcycle. This little urban hero is not only the answer to the question of sustainable mobility, but also a symbol of freedom, agility and aesthetics. What makes the BMW CE 02 so special? Join us on a journey through its features and find out why this vehicle is more than just a means of transportation.
Known for its century-long commitment to innovation, BMW proves once again that it is one step ahead of its time with the BMW CE 02. With this electric motorcycle, BMW not only responds to the ever-increasing need for sustainable urban transport, but also sets new standards in the world of two-wheelers. With an elegant design that reflects BMW's heritage and technological innovations, the CE 02 opens a new chapter in urban exploration.

Nothing is left to chance with the BMW CE 02. Equipped with a powerful electric motor that develops 11 kW (15 hp) and two batteries with a capacity of 1.9 kWh each, this electric motorcycle not only promises, but also delivers. With a top speed of 95 km/h (59 mph) and the ability to accelerate from 0 to 50 km/h (31 mph) in just 3 seconds, the CE 02 sets new milestones in urban mobility. Plus, with fast charging, this urban gem can charge from empty to full in less than two hours, ensuring you're always ready for your next adventure.

This capacity is more than sufficient for daily urban needs, from home to work, cafes or meeting friends around town. Fast charging means the CE 02 is ready for further adventures in record time, meaning less waiting and more exploring.
With a top speed of 95 km/h (59 mph), the CE 02 strikes a balance between performance and safety. This speed is within safe limits for driving on city highways where speeds often vary in this range. However, some riders express a desire for a higher top speed, around 120 km/h (75 mph), which would further expand the motorcycle's usefulness, including for faster city bypasses or shorter trips outside city centers. Although 95 km/h is more than enough for most city routes, a higher top speed could appeal to an even wider range of users. However, the usability is greatly reduced.

Real driving conditions in the city - from frequent stops, acceleration to driving in different weather conditions - can significantly affect the energy consumption and thus the range of the motorcycle. According to some estimates, the CE 02's realistic range could be closer to a pragmatic 60 km (37 miles), well short of the predicted 90 km. This difference is not negligible, as it can limit the usefulness of the motorcycle for those with longer daily needs or for those who want to explore the city without worrying about range and the need for frequent charging. Of course, even if you use the motorcycle on a distance of about 20 kilometers to work on a daily basis, the range will be critical. And nervous glances at the energy counter too often.
Aesthetics and functionality: Design that breathes with the city
CE 02 is not only a technological marvel, but also a real aesthetic gem. With a minimalist yet distinctive design that combines classic BMW lines with modern elements, this electric motorcycle is a feast for the eyes. In addition, the ergonomic design of the seat and intelligently placed controls ensure a comfortable ride, regardless of the length of the journey. There are no complaints about the design, except that the engine is worth around 6,000 euros and not as much as BMW demands for it. But more on that below.
Conclusion: More than just a means of transportation
The BMW CE 02 is not only an answer to today's questions, but also a promise for tomorrow. By combining technological excellence, aesthetic perfection and sustainable design, BMW proves once again that it is a leader in mobility innovation. In a world where clean, efficient and intelligent solutions are crucial, the CE 02 stands out as a symbol of progress. The price may reflect the premium segment in which BMW traditionally operates, but it delivers an experience that goes beyond the usual standards. The CE 02 is not just an electric motorcycle; is your new partner in urban jungle exploration, combining freedom, style and sustainability in one. With this model, BMW not only sets a new standard in electric mobility, but also invites everyone to join the revolution on two wheels.

When we take into account the possibility of additional equipment and personalization, the price can rise to close to 10,000 euros. In this price range, the BMW CE 02 faces competition from classic motorcycles that offer a different kind of performance and experience. However, it is CE 02 designed as more than just a means of transportation; it is an expression of style preferences, a sustainable lifestyle and innovative technology. While the price tag may be seen as steep for a limited-range electric motorcycle, the CE 02 targets a specific segment of the market where buyers are looking for uniqueness, design and durability, not just raw performance. It is a "quantitatively" limited model - because it will be a rarity precisely because of the price, which emphasizes the exclusivity and innovative spirit of the brand BMW, which can justify its price in the eyes of fans and enthusiasts.
