NEW DELHI: BMW Motorrad's India website lists the CE 02 from Rs 4,49,900 ex-showroom. The electric urban two-wheeler combines an 11 kW motor with a compact, exposed-frame design, while the optional Highline package adds equipment rather than changing its basic purpose. The starting figure is a vehicle price, with registration, insurance and other applicable charges outside it.

Price as of 14 November 2026, 22:59 IST. BMW labels the starting price introductory and says the figure prevailing when the vehicle is invoiced applies. Its product page does not provide a separate current Highline price, so the starting amount should not be treated as a quote for the fully equipped version.
What the CE 02 is designed to do
The CE 02 occupies an unusual corner of the premium two-wheeler market. Its long, narrow seat, visible frame and disc-style wheels give it a very different outline from a conventional enclosed scooter. BMW developed it in Munich and identified TVS Motor Company in Hosur as its production partner in the India launch document.
For an Indian owner, that design makes the intended use particularly clear: short urban journeys with a premium finish and distinctive appearance. The useful question is how its layout fits a daily route, parking space and charging arrangement. Engine displacement is irrelevant here, because the CE 02 uses an electric motor and its output is expressed in kilowatts.
Motor, battery and charging
The India launch release specifies a current-excited synchronous motor and two air-cooled lithium-ion batteries with a combined stated energy content of 3.9 kWh. BMW claims acceleration from rest to 50 km/h in 3 seconds. The 108 km ICAT range is a test figure, so it should serve as a reference rather than a guaranteed distance between charging stops.
A standard external charger is rated at 0.9 kW. The optional 1.5 kW quick charger is included in Highline and is also described as an accessory. BMW's India release gives 102 minutes for charging from 20% to 80% with that quick charger. That interval covers a partial refill, and should not be read as the time for charging an empty battery fully.
This distinction matters if the CE 02 will be charged between appointments or overnight. A rider with dependable parking and access to a suitable household socket has a different routine from someone relying on charging opportunities away from home. The charger included with the quoted vehicle is therefore a practical part of the specification to establish before comparing prices.
Standard equipment and Highline
BMW's equipment page lists Flow and Surf riding modes, LED headlighting, reversing assistance, Keyless Ride and a USB-C charging socket. ABS acts on the front wheel. The compact TFT presents riding information, while phone connectivity forms part of the wider equipment offering. These features cover everyday operation without requiring a large car-style dashboard.
Highline adds the Flash riding mode, heated grips and an integrated SP Connect phone holder alongside its quick charger. Cosmetic identifiers include gold-coloured forks and a contrasting seat. The package is relevant to riders who want those specific additions; the existence of another mode alone does not establish how much the complete motorcycle will cost on road.
Fit, luggage and alternatives
The India specification sheet gives the CE 02 a 745 mm seat and 142 kg kerb weight. Consider those figures together when assessing reach to the ground and the effort needed to move the vehicle in a cramped parking bay. Reversing assistance can help with manoeuvring, but the overall fit still deserves a physical check.
BMW's accessories page offers a wider comfort seat with thicker padding, a tinted cockpit fairing and side-bag arrangements. These are separate configuration choices, useful for understanding how an exposed urban machine can be adapted for carrying belongings or additional wind protection. They should be distinguished from the equipment included in the advertised starting price.
For a wider view of premium two-wheelers, our Scooter and bike price guide covers the performance roadster category. Readers can also examine our BMW M 1000 R price list: Rs 33,50,000 to Rs 40,00,000 and Keeway SR 250 vs SR 125 price: SR 125 starts lower at Rs 1,29,000. These petrol machines address different riding needs, so their role here is to put the CE 02's specialised urban brief into perspective, rather than suggest that their specifications are interchangeable.
