In early 2022, BMW will introduce the CE 04 electric scooter. The futuristic model boasts an 80-mile range, a 1-hour and 40-minute recharge time, and a 75-mph top speed. While those specs allow the electric scoot to compete against maxi-scooters like the Yamaha XMAX, the CE 04 marks more than a new all-electric option for the segment. It also signals a sea change for BMW.
In December, 2021, the Bavarians delivered their one-millionth electrified vehicle, and the company has even more ambitious goals for the next decade. BMW Group brands, including Mini and Rolls-Royce, currently offer five fully-electric models and 17 plug-in hybrids. The company aims to transition both Mini and Rolls-Royce to fully-electric lineups in 2030. By then, all urban mobility models under BMW’s motorcycle division will also be all-electric.
