New BMW CE 04 Makes Global Debut With New Colours, Optional Mods
BMW Motorrad has unveiled the latest iteration of the CE 04 electric scooter for the global market. In this iteration, the brand has not made any mechanical changes to the machine. However, there are aesthetic changes in the play; the electric scooter now comes with more colour options. Furthermore, the electric two-wheeler now comes with a wide variety of equipment choices aimed at improving usability. Starting with the visual upgrades, as mentioned earlier, the BMW CE 04 gets new paint scheme options. The base variant of the EV comes with a Lightwhite uni colour, which is complemented by a black-grey seat and clear windshield. The Avantgrade variant comes with a Gravity Blue metallic matt paint combined with Sao Paulo yellow. With this, the brand offers either black or a light grey seat with yellow and white tapes, a yellow-tinted windshield, and laser-engraved rear wheel trim. The Exclusive variant showcases a Spacesilver metallic finish and offers enhanced wind and weather protection through a windshield with built-in hand guards and heated grips. It features a laser-engraved rear wheel rim on one side, a comfort seat complete with heating, new upholstery material, and 'CE 04' embroidery on the rear fairing. The BMW CE 04 is equipped as standard with a 10.25-inch TFT color display, which includes integrated map navigation and connectivity options. For the first time, this new 10.25-inch color display allows for navigational mapping to be shown within the instrument cluster, eliminating the need for any additional display. All lighting elements on the BMW CE 04 utilize LED technology, including the rear lights and indicators. In terms of mechanics, there are no alterations, as the CE 04 continues to feature its 42 hp electric motor that delivers 62 Nm of torque. It achieves a top speed of 120 kmph, and its 8.9 kWh battery is said to provide a range of 130 km. While the previous version of the CE 04 is currently available in India for Rs 15.25 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), BMW has yet to announce the launch date for the updated model.

New BMW CE 04 debuts globally, gets three variants and updated design. Take a look
The BMW CE 04 is manufactured in Berlin and built for the urban concrete jungles. Check Offers BMW Motorrad has introduced an updated version of the CE 04, its all-electric scooter designed for urban mobility. Originally launched in 2021, the CE 04 continues to lead the electric two-wheeler segment above 11 kW output. The latest iteration comes with revised variants, added rider conveniences, and improved safety features while retaining its distinctive futuristic design and electric powertrain. BMW CE 04: Three variants with updated styling The updated CE 04 is now offered in three styling variants, each with its own character. The Basic version features a clean Lightwhite body colour, paired with a black-grey seat and clear windshield, giving it a minimalist look. The Avantgarde variant stands out with Gravity Blue Metallic Matt paint, offset by Sao Paulo Yellow accents on the seat and body panels, along with a yellow-tinted windshield and a laser-engraved rear wheel rim. For those seeking more premium detailing, the Exclusive variant uses a Space Silver Metallic finish with unique graphics. It also offers more wind and weather protection through a larger windshield, integrated hand protectors, and seat heating. This version gets additional detailing, including CE 04 seat embroidery and a comfort-oriented seat design. BMW CE 04: New optional equipment and rider aids BMW has expanded the list of optional equipment, which now includes a comfort seat, heated grips, a centre stand, a quick charger, and enhanced wind protection. A tyre pressure monitoring system, anti-theft alarm, and optional power reduction for markets with A1 licensing requirements are also available. Buyers can choose the Dynamic Package for added safety and performance—it brings in Headlight Pro with adaptive lighting, ABS Pro for cornering stability, Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), and an additional riding mode. Also Read : BMW announces Monsoon Service Campaign for customers with complimentary check-up BMW CE 04: Powertrain Mechanically, the scooter remains unchanged. It is powered by a liquid-cooled permanent magnet motor placed between the battery and the rear wheel, similar to the setup in BMW's plug-in hybrid cars. With a peak output of 31 kW (42 hp), it can accelerate from 0 to 50 km/h in just 2.6 seconds. Even the reduced-output version with 23 kW (31 hp) offers enough performance for daily commuting. Both variants have a top speed of 120 km/h, which makes the CE 04 suitable not just for city streets but also for expressways and short highway runs. BMW CE 04: Charging tech and battery range A lithium-ion battery with 60.6 Ah capacity provides a claimed range of around 130 kilometres in the higher-output model and 100 kilometres in the reduced-power variant. The battery can be charged using a standard household socket, a wallbox, or public charging stations. A full charge with the standard 2.3 kW setup takes just over four hours, but with the optional 6.9 kW quick charger, the time drops to one hour and forty minutes. Charging from 20 to 80 per cent can be done in just 45 minutes. Also Read : 2025 BMW M3 unveiled globally, now puts out 530 bhp BMW CE 04: Safety systems and riding modes The CE 04 includes Automatic Stability Control (ASC) as standard, with DTC available as an option for enhanced grip, especially while cornering. There are three riding modes—Eco, Rain, and Road—offered as standard, while a Dynamic mode with more aggressive throttle response is available as an option. The frame is a one-piece tubular steel construction with a telescopic front fork and a single-sided swingarm at the rear. Suspension is handled by a covered rear spring strut. BMW CE 04: Features For braking, the CE 04 uses a twin-disc setup at the front and a single disc at the rear. ABS is standard, and an upgraded version with cornering capability (ABS Pro) is available optionally. BMW has also improved visibility and nighttime safety by offering full LED lighting as standard, with adaptive cornering lights available through the Headlight Pro package. Additional lighting functions, such as Welcome and Goodbye animations, can also be equipped. One of the highlights of the CE 04 is its 10.25-inch full-colour TFT display, which includes built-in map navigation and smartphone connectivity. The system allows navigation maps to be displayed directly in the instrument cluster, removing the need for an external GPS device. Riders also get a front compartment for smaller items and a side-access storage space that can hold a helmet. A USB-C port is included in a ventilated charging compartment for smartphones.

2025 BMW CE 04 teased ahead of launch. Check details
The CE 04 has been primarily known for its innovative styling and the new model appears to have upheld this innovative character. Check Offers BMW Motorrad is set to unveil the new CE 04 electric scooter on July 3, 2025. A teaser image provides a clue of a visual refresh as the scooter is presented in a matte blue colour scheme. While official details are yet to be disclosed, the teaser has created speculation of cosmetic and feature updates. The CE 04 made its global debut in 2022 but officially launched in India in 2024 at an ex-showroom price of ₹ 15.25 lakh. 2025 BMW CE 04: Design The CE 04 has been primarily known for its innovative styling and the new model appears to have upheld this innovative character. The matte blue color unveiled in the teaser hints that BMW may be launching fresh colour schemes to rejuvenate the visual appeal. But whether the facelift brings significant bodywork revisions or subtle tweaks is unclear. Its current CE 04 has a low-slung profile, angular and sharp body panels, and a flat long seat that makes it look stretched and maxi-scooter urban. The new model should maintain this visual DNA, but may bring new trims or personalization possibilities. 2025 BMW CE 04: Features The CE 04 already comes well-stocked in the tech department, and BMW might go further in its list of features here with this refresh. The current model comes with three riding modes (Eco, Rain, Road), LED lighting, keyless start, and a reverse gear. An enormous 10.25-inch TFT screen takes center stage on the dash, providing GPS navigation, smartphone integration, and real-time ride and charging information. Moreover, BMW provides optional Comfort and Dynamic packages that include features like heated grips, a backrested seat for added support, adaptive headlamps, and additional comfort and handling customisation options. 2025 BMW CE 04: Specifications Mechanically, the updated CE 04 is likely to retain the proven setup from the current model. That includes a liquid-cooled electric motor producing 41 bhp and 62 Nm of torque, good for a 0–50 km/h sprint in just 2.6 seconds. It has a top speed of 120 km/h and draws power from an 8.5 kWh battery, offering a claimed range of 130 km on a full charge. Also watch: BMW CE 04 launched as India's most expensive electric scooter: What does it offer The scooter is built on a double-loop steel frame, with suspension duties handled by a single-bridge telescopic fork at the front and a single-sided swingarm with direct suspension at the rear. Braking is managed by 265mm disc brakes at both ends, paired with 15-inch wheels. 2025 BMW CE 04: Price and Launch The global unveiling of the updated CE 04 takes place on July 3, 2025, and prices are likely to be commensurate with or a little higher than the existing model. In India, the scooter was unveiled last year at ₹ 15.25 lakh, ex-showroom. With the upcoming refresh, BMW Motorrad is poised to reinforce the CE 04's appeal by making its design better, its technology package richer, and even possibly its efficiency.

New BMW CE 04 Teased Ahead Of Launch; Check Details
BMW Motorrad is going to launch an updated version of the CE 04 in the global market. Before the event, the Bavarian giant released a teaser on the social media platform. Although the teaser doesn't reveal much, it does hint at a change of aesthetics for the model. Based on the announcement, this version of the two-wheeler will make its debut on July 5. It comes as part of the brand's strategy of launching multiple new products, which until now included various models based on the 1300 cc platform. The BMW CE 04 was initially launched in 2022 and is currently in its third model year in the international market. The teaser released by the automaker shows a side panel of the model featuring its badge. Looking at this part, it is hard to judge if the brand is going to change the design or just introduce a new paint scheme. In the teaser, the brand has hinted at a matter-blue colour with fluorescent accents. The BMW CE 04 currently features an 8.5 kWh battery, which provides a claimed range of 130 km. It is equipped with a liquid-cooled permanent magnet motor, a feature that is quite uncommon in India, producing a peak power output of 31 kW and 62 Nm of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheel through a belt final drive. The updated CE 04 is expected to launch in India shortly after its worldwide debut. It's important to note that, unlike the CE 02, which is produced locally in India by TVS, the CE 04 is imported as a Completely Built Unit (CBU), resulting in higher taxation. Therefore, it is priced at Rs 14.90 lakh (ex-showroom).
