BMW CE 04 Malaysia: electric scooter officially priced at RM60k

Aside from the iX1, BMW Group Malaysia has also announced official pricing for the CE 04, which was revealed in January. The electric scooter retails at RM59,500 with a three-year warranty, bang on the estimated pricing.

As a recap, the CE 04 is powered by a single electric motor that produces 42hp (31kW) and 62Nm of torque, enough to get this 231kg runabout from zero to 50km/h in 2.6 seconds and to 100km/h in 9.1 seconds. Top speed is limited to 120km/h.

Juicing the motor is a small 8.9kWh battery that provides a range of 130km. There’s no DC charging capability, but the CE 04 accepts up to 6.3kW of AC power, which will fill the battery to 80% in 65 minutes. A portable three-pin charger will charge the bike to the same level in three and a half hours.

For improved safety, the CE 04 comes with adaptive LED headlights (optional in other regions, standard here), providing better illumination when cornering. You also get traction control for safer acceleration on slippery surfaces, along with ABS Pro for more controlled braking even in the corners, thanks to a lean angle sensor.

Other standard features include a 10.25-inch digital instrument display with integrated navigation (which can be set up via a BMW Motorrad Connected app), as well as a storage compartment with a USB-C port, a 12-volt socket, illuminated helmet storage and flex case, keyless start and a reversing aid.
