BMW CE 02: electric city scooter, versions and what to check when used
BMW CE 02 (from 2024) — a compact electric city scooter for young riders. We look at the versions, battery, and what's important to check when buying used.
CE 02 in brief
The CE 02 is BMW Motorrad's electric urban mobility solution, introduced in 2024. It blends the style of a scooter and a moped: low seating position, flat seat, and distinctive design.
This is a new, youthful mode of transport designed for the city. As a result, there aren't many used examples on the market yet, and prices remain high.
Versions — what's the difference
The CE 02 is available in two versions. The slower one (up to 45 km/h) is suitable for the AM category, while the faster one (up to around 95 km/h) fits the A1 category. Both versions look almost identical externally.
The faster version has more power and a higher top speed, making it suitable for both city limits and faster roads. The slower version is aimed at young riders and short distances.
Engine and battery
The CE 02 is powered by an electric motor, with energy supplied by an integrated battery. The manufacturer specifies a range of around 45 km on a single charge, or roughly double that with an additional battery.
Charging is done from a standard household socket, so no special equipment is needed. Thanks to the electric drivetrain, the scooter is quiet and easy to handle, with no need for gear shifting.
What to check when buying a used CE 02
The most important thing is the battery's condition: how many cycles it has completed and whether the mileage matches the manufacturer's data. Ask to see the information on the screen or in the app.
Check that the charging cable, app, and key work. Inquire about the warranty and software updates. Test the brakes, tires, and lighting.
Due to its newness, the motorcycle might have recall campaigns — check if they have been completed. Inspect the plastic for signs of a fall.
