By introducing new trims, cutting-edge 2025 BMW CE 04 technological advancements, and enhanced customization options for 2025, BMW Motorrad has boldly refreshed its flagship electric maxi-scooter, the CE 04. The CE 04 is now more firmly established than ever as a premium urban commuter, having already gained recognition for its futuristic design and powerful performance.
A Familiar Powertrain, Still Lightning Fast
BMW didn’t change the CE 04’s specifications for 2025, but it still performs admirably. With 42 horsepower and 62 Nm of torque, its liquid-cooled motor has more than enough power for an electric scooter. It is still among the fastest alternatives in its class, going from 0 to 31 mph in just 2.6 seconds.
It is small enough to fit through crowded city streets and fast enough to ride on highways. The CE 04 is the perfect blend of power and functionality, with a top speed of 75 mph and a useful range of roughly 81 miles.

New Trim Levels: More Style, More Personality
BMW’s 2025 update introduces three distinct trims for the CE 04:
- Basic: A minimalist look featuring Lightwhite paint and a clear windshield, ideal for purists.
- Avantgarde: Adds visual flair with a Gravity Blue body, São Paulo Yellow accents, and a laser-engraved rim.
- Exclusive: The premium trim comes with heated grips, a Spacesilver metallic finish, a better windscreen, plush seat embroidery, and high-end rim detailing.
Regardless of their preference for bold design or subtle elegance, these new options allow buyers to better customize their ride.
Tech Upgrades: Faster Charging & Smarter Features
BMW hasn’t just focused on looks. New optional features bring serious upgrades to the riding experience:
- Quick Charging: With an optional 6.9 kW charger, 0–80% charging takes just 45 minutes—a major improvement over the standard 2.3 kW charger’s ~4-hour time.
- Adaptive Lighting: BMW’s Headlight Pro system adjusts for better night visibility.
- Dynamic Traction Control and tire pressure monitoring add confidence and convenience.
The tech-forward package is completed with a center stand, an emergency eCall system, and the recognizable 10.25-inch TFT display with built-in navigation.
A Premium Ride with Commuter-Friendly Comfort
The 2025 CE 04 maintains its robust performance in terms of safety and ride dynamics by sticking with its steel-tube frame, 15-inch wheels, and Bosch ABS system (with optional ABS Pro).
BMW’s dedication to functionality is also demonstrated by the scooter’s long, low body, which offers a distinctive fusion of futuristic styling and everyday comfort, and the under-seat storage, which is roomy enough to accommodate a full-face helmet.
Pricing & Market Position
The CE 04 is not inexpensive, with a starting price of about $12,500 in the United States (or €12,000 in Europe). However, given its advanced features, premium BMW fit and finish, and motorcycle-level performance, it is priced to compete in the premium urban mobility market.
Why It Matters
In a space that still lacks strong competitors, the CE 04 stands nearly alone as a serious electric scooter for adults—not a toy, not a gimmick. It’s futuristic but functional, stylish yet practical. And unlike many concept EVs, BMW’s CE 04 is not only here, it’s getting better.
BMW is already producing a genuine, high-performance commuter that bridges the gap between e-bikes and full-size electric motorcycles, even though companies like LiveWire (Harley-Davidson’s EV spin-off) allude to similar future automobiles.
Final Thoughts
With its 2025 update, the BMW CE 04 reclaims its position as the industry standard for high-end electric scooters. For urban riders seeking state-of-the-art performance without sacrificing convenience or style, this fast, adaptable, and technologically advanced bike is ideal.
