BMW has officially launched its new electric scooter, the BMW CE 04, in the Indian market, marking a significant milestone in the country’s electric two-wheeler segment. Priced at ₹14.90 lakh, the BMW CE 04 has become the most expensive scooter available in India. Let’s dive into the details of this high-end electric scooter and what makes it stand out.
BMW CE 04: Overview and Pricing
The BMW CE 04 is now the most premium electric scooter in India, setting a new standard in terms of cost and features. With a price tag of ₹14.90 lakh, it surpasses other high-end scooters in the market, including the Vespa 946 Dragon Edition, which is priced at ₹14.28 lakh.

Fast Charging: For quicker refueling, a 6.9 kW fast charger can fully charge the scooter in just 1 hour and 40 minutes.

The CE 04 is powered by a liquid-cooled permanent magnet motor, a rare feature in the Indian market. This motor delivers impressive performance:
Power Output: 31 kW

Why the BMW CE 04 Stands Out
The BMW CE 04 is not just another electric scooter; it’s a statement of advanced technology and luxury in the electric mobility space. The scooter’s high price reflects its premium features and the innovative technology BMW has integrated into it. Its exceptional acceleration, top speed, and cutting-edge charging options make it a top choice for those seeking a high-performance electric scooter.
