The BMW CE 02 is an electric motorcycle, that’s billed by the company as a urban mobility vehicle. It’s been passed around to the big mags and blogs and the reviews are in! Let’s take a look at the consensus.
The BMW CE 02 Is A Different Kind of Bike
“The CE 02 provides an entertaining and very easy local riding experience. … At the end of the day I ditched our riding group to enjoy Vegas on my own for some free-form riding and curb hops, etc., and the CE 02 has no competition in the eParkourering space.” – Mark Hoyer from Cycle World
“If you were to eschew its Hoonigan-esque antics, this makes more sense for European hamlets than any sort of industrialized city. It makes sense as a village-to-village bike or small-town runabout. BMW will, unfortunately, never get American city folks to buy this. They literally couldn’t run it.
But I bet dollars to donuts that they’d sell this thing like hot cakes if they threw a dirt tire onto the back and called it an electric flat-tracker/back-alley drifter for antiestablishment millennials that’ve gone corporate and can afford a garage with an outlet and its price tag.” – Jonathan Klein from RideApart
“BMW’s new electric scooter/motorbike hybrid isn’t really about “bang for your buck,” becoming a collector’s item, or elite performance. It’s a neat piece of industrial design that gives you access to one of the most fun experiences you can have on wheels: Briskly scooting in near-silence without the cage of a car around you.” – Andrew P. Collins from The Drive
“With the 02’s deliberately youthful styling, sporty ride, and singular design, it looks like BMW is hoping to mop up riders who wouldn’t consider the bigger, heavier, and more old-fashioned petrol super scooters.” – Andrew Diprose from Wired
