2025 BMW CE04: MOVING ON.

Introducing the 2025 BMW CE04…

Design brings us together
The two color concepts have been accurately adapted to the modern and unmistakable design of the BMW CE 04. They emphasize the pioneering design and set striking highlights.

Ahead of the time and yet timeless
The design of the BMW CE 04 centers around the slim energy storage unit in the underfloor assembly and the compact drivetrain. The design liberties and solutions here have led to new aesthetics, for instance the charging compartment that folds out towards the side or the floating seat. The low center of gravity represents a further benefit: fun handling, surprising dynamism and timeless riding pleasure. As a result, one innovation seamlessly leads to another, in terms of design. Ample, calm and minimalistic surfaces dominate the overall design. In this context, the front end is excitingly broken up while the rear end reveals technological components, a typical feature of motorcycles.

Full of energy, efficient and fully electric

In future we will convert our coffee break around the corner to miles. ” – Florian Römhild Project Lead of BMW CE 04 project
