The CE 04 definition is seamlessly integrated into urban life
Florian Römhild, Project Lead and Alexander Buckan, Head of Vehicle Design at BMW Motorrad have developed a design for the new BMW CE 04 centering 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.
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.
The Style Avantgarde BMW CE 04 in Magellan Gray Metallic seamlessly integrates expressively and confidently into big city settings thanks to its various graphics: sophisticated, significant and expressive.
In terms of comfort, convenience and protection, the BMW CE 04 relies on tried-and-tested BMW Motorrad technology.
ABS and ASC are standard features, DTC, and ABS Pro are optionally available.
Additionally, available seat variants featuring an integrated backrest pad and seat heating as well as the electric reverse provide convenience and comfort in big cities.
And with Keyless Ride you launch into the seamless integration of the BMW CE 04 into your mobile life – in the true sense of the word: just hop on and ride off, you can leave the key in the pocket.
The BMW Motorrad Connected app the BMW CE 04 makes new connections.
The 10.25” TFT display featuring split-screen option turns into the interface between the digital and analog world.
Be it performance data, range, charging time, the favorite playlist, next destination or a phone call: Mobility and communication merge into one.
The 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.
Regardless of what you are planning with your scooter: BMW Motorrad offers countless customization options with the comprehensive optional equipment and genuine BMW Motorrad accessories range.
You can store your shopping in the Vario top case or the Urban Collection side bag.
Thanks to optional heated grips and seat heating you can really enjoy the ride.
Plus, optional sticker sets are further design highlights.
When you start the day bursting with energy, the BMW CE 04 is already waiting for you with a charged drivetrain battery.
It is simply charged at domestic sockets or your BMW Wallbox.
And with the optional quick charger you get more from every charging process – more time to be precise: you can then charge your BMW CE 04 at the BMW Wallbox or on the go from 0% to 80% in around 65 minutes with the maximum charge current.
As 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.
BMW Motorrad is familiar with this captivating dynamism as they 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 – from navigation to clothing. Quite simply.
