The Most Luxurious Electric Scooter in India: BMW CE 04
This is the latest motorbike from BMW Motorrad, the famous German car company. It made a big splash when it arrived in India. This is the BMW CE 04, an electric scooter that is both high-tech and expensive. It's the most expensive electric scooter in the country.
So, what makes the CE 04 stand out? For starters, it packs a hefty 8.5 kWh battery, which BMW claims can take you up to 130 kilometers on a single charge. That’s quite impressive, especially for those of us who dread the thought of running out of juice midway through our commutes. And for those who are always in a hurry, there’s a 2.3 kW home charger included with your purchase that’ll get you from 0 to 80% in about 3 hours and 30 minutes. If that’s not quick enough, you can opt for the BMW Wallbox charger to speed things up even further.
But let's talk about power. The CE 04 does a good job when it comes to efficiency. An electromagnet synchronous motor that is cooled by liquid makes 42 horsepower and 62 Nm of peak torque. That's like having the power of a fast bike wrapped up in the style of a scooter. It can go from 0 to 50 km/h in just 2.6 seconds and has a top speed of 120 km/h. In 2.6 seconds, yes you read that right. This scooter can get you around town as fast as any other vehicle.
When it comes to the CE 04, safety is of the first importance. The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) that comes standard on this vehicle is equipped with double disc brakes in the front and a single disc brake setup in the rear. Also included are three riding modes—Eco, Rain, and Road—that can be adjusted to suit your mood or the weather. Automatic Stability Control (ASC) is also included to ensure that everything remains stable. BMW has your back whether you're driving in a deluge or cruising on a beautiful day. They've got you covered.
The CE 04 isn’t just about performance and safety, though. It’s also packed with modern features that make riding feel more like an experience than just a commute. It sports LED lighting for better visibility, 15-inch alloy wheels for a smooth ride, and a floating single-piece seat that looks as stylish as it is comfortable. And let’s not forget the 10.25-inch TFT color split screen, which comes with Bluetooth connectivity. Yes, you can now ride in style while staying connected to your favorite tunes or navigation apps.
As for the price, the BMW CE 04 is coming in at ₹14.90 lakh (ex-showroom), making it a premium option in the electric scooter segment. It will be sold as a fully built unit, so you won’t have to worry about assembly or parts. Deliveries are expected to kick off in September, so if you’re looking to be one of the first to own this high-end electric ride, now’s the time to start planning.
In a market where electric scooters are quickly becoming the norm, BMW’s CE 04 is clearly aiming to set a new benchmark. With its blend of cutting-edge technology, impressive performance, and luxurious features, it’s clear that this scooter is not just about getting from point A to point B—it’s about doing it in style.
