The BMW CE 02 concept is a small city electric motorcycle intended for people aged 16 and over who are not necessarily two-wheelers. Its minimalist style and top speed of 90 km / h, however, give it a wider appeal.
BMW will not only present cars at the Munich Motor Show, which will open its doors on September 7, 2021. The Bavarian manufacturer, which sits a stone’s throw from the event venue, will also exhibit an electric two-wheeler concept called CE 02 there. . Its proportions place it at the crossroads between scooter, motorcycle and moped.
A small all-rounder
The CE 02 presents a look that is at the same time clean, robust and futuristic. Its 15-inch-diameter black rims do without fenders, and its flat front optical unit is nestled between the fork tubes. Its saddle placed 73 mm above the ground makes it very accessible.
With this motorcycle, BMW wants to seduce those who are not bikers, starting with the youngest from 16 years old. The long flat saddle allows you to adopt an upright or lying position and to embark a passenger. The lower part of the frame can accommodate a skateboard that also acts as a footrest. Above is a storage space. The instrument cluster takes the form of a tiny screen. Personalization strips and stickers make each copy visually unique.
Thought for urban youth
Theoretically usable with an A1 license, The BMW CE 02 is powered by a 15 hp engine, can reach 90 km / h and offers a range of 90 km. Its contained weight of 120 kg makes it easy to maneuver. Moreover, thanks to the energy recovery during braking, the use of the physical brake pedal is not necessary. Always with a view to appealing to city youth, BMW has designed a motorcycle jacket that is as aesthetic as it is protective, inspired by the stylistic trends of the moment, to accompany the vehicle. It remains to be seen whether the two-wheeler will pass the course of series production.
