BMW to launch electric bike in SA next year
BMW Group South Africa will introduce the electric CE 02 motorbike on the South African market in the second quarter of next year.
The CE 02 is neither an e-scooter nor an e-motorcycle. The German car and bike maker calls it an “eParkourer for cities and urban areas”.
Parkour refers to the athletic discipline of urban gymnastics that makes use of elements typically found in cities, such as staircases.
BMW says the CE 02 has been created with the city and the urban environment in mind.
“Nimble, practical, robust and reduced to the essentials in terms of design.
“Large wheels meet the demand for robustness and, at the same time, ensure riding fun on many terrains.”
The 11 kW CE 02 has a top speed of 95 km/h, and offers a range of more than 90 km before requiring recharging.
The bike weighs 132 kg and the seat height is a low 750 mm.
The BMW CE 02 comes with Flow and Surf riding modes as standard.
Flow offers the ideal setup for cruising in urban traffic, while Surf provides a more dynamic riding experience beyond city traffic.
The Flash driving mode is optional, and speaks for itself.
The CE 02 comes standard with an external charger with a charging power of 0.9 kW, which enables recharging at standard household sockets.
A 1.5 kW quick charger offers a quicker turnaround time, but is an optional accessory.
In front of the rider, a display informs the rider of riding speed and battery charge status.
A USB-C charging socket allows the rider to supply power to a smartphone.
