2023 BMW CE04: A DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS.

Introducing the 2023 BMW CE04…

THE SILENT REVOLUTION

You move around the world’s cities and metropolitan regions exactly at the point where each neighborhood represents the first step towards the next new idea. And you are also always on the move. We are familiar with this captivating dynamism as we have been applying it for over 10 years to develop solutions and concepts for urban electromobility, something that means far more now than just getting from A to B. It is from this long-term innovative leadership that the BMW CE 04 is launching into a new era of design, to seamlessly integrate into your everyday life thanks to its intelligent connectivity solutions. Quite simply #PluggedToLife.

The BMW CE 04 sparks a passion with its revolutionary design, its technology as well as the resulting opportunities.

RANGE & CHARGING
PERFECT TO GET YOU THROUGH THE DAY – AND MUCH FURTHER
The BMW CE 04 will become a natural part of your daily life. It draws its energy from domestic sockets, at home or from a public charging post when you’re on the go. No matter what your day is like: our electrically powered scooter is a part of it.

 

And even if you are constantly on the move: your daily schedule will still be covered by the high-voltage battery of the BMW CE 04 because its range is approximately 80 miles*. In other words: you may still have plenty of energy left over at the end of the day.

*As per WMTC standard

Route illustration on map with information about stops and final distance travelled.
FAST, SIMPLE AND FLEXIBLE
From domestic socket to public charging column: you can opt for any of these options to supply your BMW CE 04 with the required energy. Synergies with BMW Group and resulting passenger car standards also apply to your BMW CE 04 in a unique way: from the transfer of technical components to high-voltage technology and associated safety demands to cables, connectors and safety shut-off.

Yellow and black Mode 2 charging cable with Schuko plug.
Charging at domestic sockets
Use the standard Mode 2 charging cable (provided as standard) featuring a conventional plug to simply charge your BMW CE 04 at a domestic socket. Thanks to the 1.2 kW charging output your scooter will charge from 0% to 80% in around three and a half hours using the sixteen-foot long charging cable @ 10 A / 230 V / 2.3 kW. (European Model Shown)

CHARGING COLUMNS AND CHARGE STATUS
TFT display of the BMW CE 04.
Your route to the charging column
The navigation system’s point of interest function will indicate charging columns in the surroundings of your choice and will lead you there on the shortest route. You can select it either in the BMW Motorrad Connected app or you directly select the route to the next charging column on your scooter’s 10.25” TFT display.

Charge status on the TFT display of the BMW CE 04.
Always an eye on the charge status
The BMW Motorrad Connected app tells you the estimated end of charging during the charging process and of course also how long the stored energy will last and how far it will take you. You can then access this data at any time on the 10.25” TFT display.

How does my riding style influence the range of my BMW CE 04?
It goes without saying that the riding style affects consumption and thus range. Select Eco riding mode to maximize the range of your BMW CE 04. The scooter also features an energy recovery system that charges the high-voltage battery on the basis of recuperation. Thinking ahead while riding, moderate acceleration and avoiding riding at maximum speed for prolonged periods will additionally contribute towards maximizing the range.

*Will the battery of the BMW CE 04 wear out over time?
The capacity of a lithium-ion battery drops throughout its period of use. In our battery certificate we specify the best possible service for our customers in this context. It is valid for the first 24,855 miles and ends five years after the initial delivery or first registration. If the high-voltage battery is damaged during this time we will repair any material damage caused free of charge. This also applies to an excessive loss of capacity. Visit your authorized BMW Motorrad dealer to find out more.

What do I need to take into account when charging at domestic sockets?
The standard charging cable with 2.3 kW charging capacity forms part of your BMW CE 04’s standard equipment*. With a length of sixteen feet it provides access to a domestic socket in many cases. Do not use extension leads or power strips.

*Market-specific offer

How do I find a matching charging option for my BMW CE 04 on the go?
You can find charging options using the BMW Charging app (and all other charging apps) as well as using the BMW Motorrad Connected app. You can also have the on-board navigation system guide you to charging columns using the point of interest function.

How can I access the charge status of my BMW CE 04?
The charge status of the BMW CE 04 is indicated on the vehicle’s TFT display. You can simultaneously use the BMW Motorrad Connected app to access the plugged-in scooter’s estimated end of charging.

 

 

2023 BMW CE04 Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits

DESIGN FOR A NEW ERA

Design brings us together
The two color concepts have been accurately adapted to the modern and unmistakable design of the BMW CE 04. They emphasize the pioneering design and set striking highlights.

Ahead of the time and yet timeless
The design of the BMW CE 04 centers around the slim energy storage unit in the underfloor assembly and the compact drivetrain. The design liberties and solutions here have led to new aesthetics, for instance the charging compartment that folds out towards the side or the floating seat. The low center of gravity represents a further benefit: fun handling, surprising dynamism and timeless riding pleasure. As a result, one innovation seamlessly leads to another, in terms of design. Ample, calm and minimalistic surfaces dominate the overall design. In this context, the front end is excitingly broken up while the rear end reveals technological components, a typical feature of motorcycles.

  • FULL OF ENERGY, EFFICIENT AND FULLY ELECTRIC
  • 44 hp maximum output
  • 1.0 seconds from 0 to 30 mph
  • 84 mile range
  • 88 minutes from 0% to 80% charging power at maximum charge current using optional quick charge capability @ 30 A / 230 V / 6.9 kW
  • Liquid-cooled synchronous machine

It charges up wherever you are
That’s what we call comfortable: you start the day bursting with energy and your BMW CE 04 is already waiting for you with a charged drivetrain battery. Simply charge via a domestic socket. And with the optional quick charger capability you get more from every charging process – more time to be precise.

Be it performance data, range, charging time, the favorite playlist, next destination or a phone call: Mobility and communication merge into one. Quite simply your everyday life. Your smartphone can just stay in the watertight and ventilated storage compartment and it is also charged in the process thanks to a USB C connection.

Revolution meets evolution
In terms of comfort, convenience and protection with the BMW CE 04 you can rely on tried-and-tested BMW Motorrad technology.
