BMW Motorradis not attending EICMA this year, but they are attendingMilipol 2021 in Paris. The Milipol event bills itself as the “Leading Event For Homeland Security and Safety.” And during the event, BMW will feature its new BMW CE 04 scooter equipped for use by governmental authorities. BMW says the two-wheeler provides “Future-oriented, sustainable, e-mobility for the city and urban areas.”
While the CE 04 scooter was rolled out a few months ago, the authorities version design targets governmental authorities. BMW says that this version of the scooter:
“…plays a particularly important role, since the dynamic, environmentally friendly electric scooter not only offers a concept tailored to special authorities requirements by offering flexible options and a high level of operational expertise in urban and metropolitan areas.”
“The new CE 04 is also a forward-looking component of the sustainability strategy anchored in the BMW Group, in which riding pleasure goes far beyond simply getting from A to B. Over the past years and decades, significant standards have already been set in the BMW vehicle eco balance – starting with the resources used, through energy consumption, to the share of recycled components.”
The police version of the machine has a maximum output of 31 kW (41 hp) that provides a top speed of 120 km/h. With that top speed, BMW says that the CE 04 police scooter is capable of fast riding in the city and motorways. Powering the scooter is a 60.6 aH (8.9 kWh) battery which offers a claimed range of approximately 130 km.
