The BMW CE 04 Electric Scooter To Enter Production, Launching Soon?

The all-electric BMW CE 04 scooter is inching closer to production after BMW Motorrad has recently filed the design with the European Union Intellectual Property Office.

The scooter was seen in a concept from November last year and has since garnered a lot of attention due to its futuristic design.

While other manufacturers tend to divert the design concept to something that is considered more realistic, BMW Motorrad seems to move ahead with the design’s reasonably close to the original concept.

The apparent changes are the addition of side mirrors and a rear fender to place the number plates and the rear LED light.

According to reports, the CE 04 will come packing with the same 10.25″ TFT screen found on the latest R 1250 RT.

Nonetheless, the design filings did not disclose the details regarding the electric motor powering the CE 04 or when the new model will become available.

Are We Getting A Smaller BMW R 18?

BMW Motorrad received huge applause when they launch the retro-styled muscle cruiser R 18 last year.

The R 18 is powered by the biggest boxer engine ever built and offers a wide range of features and accessories.

BMW Motorrad did not stop there, instead, they introduced two more variants; the first debuted in October last year with tall windscreen and saddlebags, while the second variant was spied with a batwing fairing and expected to launch in a few months.

However, French publication Le Repaire des Motards had a chat with BMW Motorrad’s head, Dr Markus Schramm, regarding its future plans.

While Schramm evaded some of the more in-depth questions, he did disclose that it is logical to follow up the R 18 with a smaller size cruiser.

We have yet to get our hands on the new R 18 due to the current pandemic. Nevertheless, we are excited at how BMW Motorrad is pushing for a classic-styled cruiser.

The BMW R 18 Frist Edition is currently available in Malaysia for RM149,500.
