Today, BMW Motorrad Malaysia announced a couple of new electric vehicles. Among them, the new BMW CE 04 is perhaps the most eye-catching one as it's the company's first local electric scooter.
Coming in Light White, the new BMW CE 04 presents a futuristic design with tyres measured at 120/70 R15 67H for the front and 160/60 R15 56H for the rear. The LED lighting units have been implemented for the headlamp in both high beam and low beam, the rear light, as well as the turn indicators. Additionally, the Adaptive Headlight Pro can even include special light functions, such as “Welcome” and “Good Bye”.
In terms of power, the BMW CE 04’s motor generates a maximum output of 31 kW (42PS) and 62 Nm of torque, allowing for stop-and-go acceleration from 0 to 50 km/h in just 2.6 seconds. The top speed for the New BMW CE 04 is set at 120 km/h and as for battery cell capacity, it features an ample 60.6 Ah (8.9 kWh), providing a maximum range of 130 kilometres.
The lithium-ion battery is charged using the integrated charging device, which can be done at any regular household power socket, wallbox or public charging station. When completely flat, fully charging the battery to maximum capacity takes 4 hours and 20 minutes, assuming the standard output of 2.3 kW. With quick charging, assuming an output of up to 6.9 kW, this can be reduced to 1 hour and 40 minutes.
Riders can also choose four riding modes: “ECO”, “Rain” and “Road”, as well as the “Dynamic” riding mode that is available as an ex-works option. For safety, the latest generation of BMW Motorrad Integral ABS Pro is featured and the electric scooter comes with a 10.25-inch TFT colour display with Integrated Map Navigation. Riders may use the BMW Motorrad Connected App for monitoring vehicle status, statistics and navigation.
The BMW CE 04 is not available in Malaysia yet but will be launching soon in March 2023. There's no official price tag either, but BMW Mottrad Malaysia said it should be at the RM60K price range and no B license is needed to ride it. Stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.
