The CE 02, powered by two 1.96kWh batteries with a total capacity of 3.92kWh, can produce up to 11kW (15hp) and 55Nm of torque at maximum output. The CE 02, positioned as a 200cc substitute, weighs 142 kg and has a maximum production akin to some aggressive 160cc motorbikes. The CE 02 is ideal for city commuting and is relatively approachable for shorter riders thanks to its 745mm seat height.
According to BMW, the CE 02 can travel 108 kilometers at a top speed of 95 kph. The CE 02 now comes with the Highline pack, which adds extra amenities, including a heated grip, a tri-colored seat, a teal sticker, a gold anodized USD fork, and a smartphone holder. Riders can utilize the switchgear on the CE 02 to manage inputs and use their smartphone as an extension of the 3.5-inch TFT when paired with the BMW app.
