Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW CE 02 11kW 2024

With the CE 02, BMW wants to have created a new type of vehicle: The eParkourer. In fact, the vehicle combines features of the scooter and motorbike class and creates something very independent. The design is polarising, but the technology underneath works well. The riding performance in particular deserves praise, even if unfortunately only ABS is available on the front wheel. Anyone looking for an exciting electric companion should consider the CE 02.

smoothly responding motor
