    The CE 02, manufactured at TVS's Hosur plant in Tamil Nadu, has been launched in India at Rs 4.50 lakh. It is one of the most expensive electric two-wheelers currently on sale, second only to its older sibling, the CE 04, which was launched earlier this year.

    • CE 02 is Made-in-India
    • Costs more than Ultraviolette F77 Mach 2

    BMW CE 02 launch details

    Powered by two 1.96kWh batteries that form a combined capacity of 3.92kWh, the CE 02 delivers a peak output of 11kW (15hp) and 55Nm of torque. Positioned as a 200cc alternative, it weighs 142kg and produces a peak output similar to some sporty 160cc motorcycles. With a seat height of 745mm, the CE 02 is quite accessible for shorter riders and designed for city commutes.

    BMW claims the CE 02 has a range of 108km and a top speed of 95kph. Currently on sale with the Highline pack, it gets added features such as a gold anodized USD fork, teal stickering, a tri-coloured seat, heated grips, and a smartphone holder. When paired with BMW’s app, riders can use their smartphone as an extension to the 3.5-inch TFT and control inputs using the CE 02’s switchgear.
     

    BMW has equipped the CE 02 with two riding modes as standard, with an additional mode available as part of the Highline package. These modes – Flow, Surf, and Flash – don’t make drastic changes to the riding experience and only tweak the throttle input and regenerative braking levels. Currently, the CE 02 is available in only one colour. BMW has provided different luggage options and visors as optional accessories. It has no direct rivals at present, and its price pits it against the likes of the Ultraviolette F77 Mach 2, which costs less and packs in a lot more performance.
