Two years after bmw took the leap to electrification with the CE 04now launch the CE 02the access model BMW Motorrad. A electric vehicle for mobility which, at the same time, is attractive for its peculiar style and design. And there is no doubt that one of its main characteristics is its two big wheelsvery similar to those of a touring bicycle, which ensure robustness and, without a doubt, great doses of fun.

It is evident that we are facing a minimalist, different design, with a flat body and a continuous seat. This circumstance allows the pilot to use two ways of placing his feet with some footpegs further forward and others more rearward. Of course, only if we travel alone since, if we are accompanied, the rear seats will be occupied by our partner.

The chassis is based on a Double-loop tubular steel frame with high trunk rigidity, and that is noticeable in the piloting. A hydraulically damped telescopic fork operates at the front, while the rear uses a single-sided swingarm and a directly mounted shock absorber.

The new BMW CE 02 mount two different engines. One of 4 kW which limits the maximum speed to forty-five kilometers per hour, with a weight of 119 kilograms. The other engine has 11kWand with a weight of 132 kilograms it offers us a range of ninety kilometers and a maximum speed of 95 km/h.

When purchasing the new BMW CE 02, we includes an external charger with a charging power of 0.9 kW which allows the battery to be recharged quickly and conveniently using conventional household outlets. Optionally we have a 1.5kW fast charger We can have it in the “Highline” special equipment package or as an original BMW Motorrad accessory.

offers us two driving modes “Flow” and “Surf”. The first of them is ideal for urban traffic, while the second goes beyond urban traffic. In the first case, it offers us a smooth ride and good recovery; while in the second, the driving experience is much more fun and responds perfectly.

In the driving position we find a TFT screen which informs us about the speed at which we are traveling, the state of charge of the battery and many more things, even supplying power to our mobile phone.

As an option, we can incorporate the smartphone holderwhich will allow us to carry the phone in the safest way, being able to use everything we may need in terms of navigation.

The proof we do it on the “Highline” version with 11 kW battery which, fundamentally, we differentiate it because it incorporates gold anodized forks, as well as specific stripes and incorporates a third driving mode called Flash and which provides a very reactive, sporty and dynamic driving experience.

We carried out the driving test on an urban section of the Portuguese city of Cascais, and the truth is that surprised by its comfort and easy handling. A great option for young people, with its small battery, and for those vehicle drivers who also use motorcycles. As far as prices are concerned, Its price starts at 7,400 euros.and can now be reserved at official dealers.
