The CE 02 is the most affordable BMW EV and is also one of India’s most expensive e-two-wheelers.

While the brakes offer excellent feedback, the lack of dual-channel ABS is a drawback since the rear wheel is prone to locking under aggressive braking. This is especially so when paired with the CE 02’s strong regenerative braking, which reduced how much I found myself using the brakes.

The single-sided swingarm looks quite cool and gets a lot of attention.

It is lightweight and has a low centre of gravity, which makes it highly manoeuvrable and enjoyable for city commutes. The suspension provides decent comfort at moderate speeds but struggles over potholes or bumps, often unsettling the rider. Ground clearance seems decent, but BMW would not share the exact figure with us. The fork is non-adjustable, and the rear shock is preload adjustable. 

The low-mounted tail-light is hidden from tailgaters or tall SUVs.

The Michelin City Grip 2 tyres deliver reliable traction overall despite varying riding styles.
The CE 02 is an otherwise comfortable little commuter, but its thin and minimally padded seat becomes a pain after about an hour. The riding posture is upright, with wide bars allowing for better control.
