Scooter BMW CE 04 2022

Unveiled as a concept in 2017 under the name Concept Link, the revival of BMW's electric scooter was already shaping up to be very avant-garde. The commercial version is unveiled today, under the name CE 04. The line is still very futuristic, daring with its "floating saddle" and its truncated rear. The design is also divisive… BMW has chosen to do something different, to make an impression with its electric scooter. In a way, understandably, there was no point in making a maxi electric scooter that looks like a nuclear-powered C650 Sport. No doubt the French public was polled because the C-Evo which preceded it was a real success in France. In fact, more than 85% of the world production of BMW's first electric scooter was marketed in France; and in Paris, I won't tell you But BMW has chosen for a few years to electrify its range and the new BMW CE 04 electric scooter inaugurates a new way of thinking about electric 2-wheelers at the German giant. For this scooter, there was no question of taking a thermal scooter, redesigning the frame and housing a battery pack in the shoehorn... No, here, the design is 100% unique, with consideration of motorization from the outset. A bit like a motorcycle from Zero Motorcycle, the Harley-Davidson LiveWire or an urban scooter from Silence. Also, we look forward to seeing the undressed version of this scooter to better perceive its construction.
