BMW Motorrad has introduced a new electric two-wheeler designed for urban environments. Christened BMW CE 02, the new EV is claimed to be neither an e-motorbike nor an e-scooter, but rather an ‘eParkourer’.
Designed for cities and urban areas, the new BMW CE 02 features large wheels to ensure robustness and an enjoyable ride across various terrains. The frame, wheels, front fender, and triple clamp fairing are presented in black colour. For those seeking a more vibrant appearance, there is a Highline version as well that comes with elements such as gold-anodized forks and a tape design with Petrol as a contrasting colour.
The new BMW CE 02 has two standard riding modes: "Flow" and "Surf." The "Flow" mode is for smooth cruising in urban traffic, while the "Surf" mode is for a more spirited riding experience. Additionally, BMW also offers a sportier "Flash" mode as an optional feature in the Highline package.

The standard model comes with a maximum power output of 11 kW (15 bhp), which can be used by riders aged 16 and above, and it comes with a top speed of 95 kmph. Then there is a low-speed 4 kW version of the CE 02 that makes about 5 bhp and comes with a top speed of 45 kmph, which also meets the requirements of the AM driving license class. The latter can be ridden by users as young as 15-year-olds, or those with a car license.
