In the year 2023, BMW revealed its CE 02 electric scooter, which has since gone on sale in markets like the UK and USA.

Media sources later brought up the news that the CE 02 platform has been developed and built in India, by BMW's local partner, TVS. Now, media sources has learned that the CE 02 will be launched in India in 2024.

In the USA, the base CE 02 retails for US$ 7,600, while the Highline trim will set you back by US$ 8,474.

Even though it is built here in India, it will still likely be a rather expensive proposition, being positioned well above the Rs. 250,000 (US$ 2,995) TVS X. It could even become the most expensive electric two-wheeler on sale in India, but that remains to be seen.

This wouldn't be the first time that BMW has sold an expensive scooter in India. It's C 400 GT maxi-scooter went on sale in our market a couple of years ago, and is currently priced at Rs. 11 million, making it the most expensive scooter sold in the country.

The CE 02 classifies as something between an electric bike and an electric scooter, with no floorboard section, and motorcycle-like foot pegs.

It derives its energy from two split lithium-ion battery packs that together measure 2kWh, and has a claimed range of 90km. In its most powerful guise, it produces 15 PS, which is good enough for a claimed top speed of 95kph for the 132kg machine.
