BMW Motorrad Thailand is strengthening its position as a pioneer in electric mobility for Thailand’s premium vehicle segment – a significant foundation paving the way to BMW’s goal of sustainability. The new BMW CE 04, an electric scooter that embodies a new forward-looking form of urban two-wheeled mobility in its design, and featuring an innovative style with 100% electric driving technology, has been delivered to the first group of Thai customers, with Khun Kiki – Sak Nana, the well-known car racer, as one of the first to receive the electric scooter from BMW Motorrad Thailand.
Mr. Miguel Llabres-Pohl, Head of BMW Motorrad Southeast Asia and Importers APAC, said: “BMW Motorrad Thailand is pleased to deliver the new BMW CE 04 electric scooter to the first group of Thai customers. We would like to thank these customers, as well as Khun Kiki, for helping to pave the way towards sustainable automobiles with the electric scooter. This marks the start of an important milestone for BMW Motorrad Thailand and we will continue the momentum with more deliveries to Thai customers going forward. BMW CE 04 is a two-wheeled electric scooter that pioneers Thailand’s premium motorcycle market. It meets the needs of riders in both performance and efficiency for drives through main roads and motorways, and it also has a distinct modern design. This model reflects BMW Motorrad’s commitment to developing electric scooters and advancing the adoption of stable renewable energy in daily life, reducing greenhouse gas emissions using innovative technologies to help save the environment.”
“In addition, BMW Motorrad Thailand is very proud of our achievement in reaching our highest-ever share in the market segment above 500 cc (10.3%) last year. A total of 1,293 BMW motorcycles were registered in 2022, representing 8% growth year-on-year. Globally, BMW Motorrad recorded the highest sales in
the company’s history with 202,895 motorcycle and scooter deliveries, indicating the increasing popularity of electrified motorcycles among customers.”
The BMW CE 04 comes with powerful electric mobility technology and a control system providing optimal performance. The fun ride kickstarts with three riding modes that come as standard: ECO, Rain and Road. The additional Dynamic riding mode enables the scooter to accelerate at an even swifter pace.
The model generates a maximum output of 31 kW (42 hp) with a maximum speed of 120 km/h, enabling day-to-day emission-free riding in the city and for smaller-scale fun tours. With the quick charger (with an output of up to 6.9 kW), charging time is reduced to just 1 hour and 40 minutes when the battery is completely flat.If the battery level is only 20% and the battery is charged to 80%, the charging time is reduced to just 45 minutes with the quick charger. The BMW CE 04 is able to accelerate from 0 to 50 km/h in 2.6 seconds. For safety and convenience on any ride, BMW Motorrad ABS PRO is included in the model to ensure a high level of active safety, and a navigation system is also fitted as standard – with a 10.25-inch TFT colour screen featuring integrated map navigation and connectivity. The modern surface finish is in a striking Magellan Grey metallic, supplemented with a black/orange seat, an orange wind deflector,
