Last month, BMW Motorrad unveiled the CE 02 electric 2-wheeler. Now, just weeks later, the e-scooter has been spotted in India. Two CE 02 test mules were seen parked in Sringeri, Karnataka.<\/p>\n
The BMW CE 02 is an electric scooter with a quirky and futuristic design. It is based on a double-loop tubular frame featuring an upside-down fork at the front and a mono-shock setup at the rear. It has a single-sided swingarm, and power is sent to the rear wheel via a belt drive. Braking is handled by a 296 mm disc at the front with single-channel ABS as standard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The CE 02 is powered by dual 2 kWh battery packs and a 15 BHP electric motor. It has a top speed of 95 km\/h and can cover 90 km on a single charge. BMW also offers the option to remove one of the 2 kWh batteries. However, this reduces the maximum range to 45 km. Top speed also drops to 45 km\/h.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Both versions can be charged using either a 0.9 kW standard charger, which takes 5 hours 12 mins to charge both batteries from 0 – 100%. It is also compatible with a 1.5 kW fast charger, bringing down charging time to 3 hours 30 mins.<\/p>\n
