    The CE 02 offers three riding modes: Flow, Surf and Flash. Flow combines high regenerative braking with a linear throttle response, Surf disables regen for a freer ride, and Flash delivers maximum regen with a sharp throttle response. There’s an additional Battery Saver mode that requires manual activation via the menu, while a Low Power mode automatically engages at alow charge. Surf mode proved ideal for my highway commutes to work, offering effortless coasting. Riding the CE 02 in Mumbai was a joy, thanks to its ample torque and quick acceleration.

    In our tests, the CE 02 accelerates quicker to 80kph than most 160cc motorcycles, aligning closer to a fast sub-160cc or a slower 200cc bike. Its lightweight build enhances its agility and pace, especially in city conditions, and the traction control ensures confidence on loose surfaces. The claimed 108km range holds up well for regular commutes, and the fast charger tops up the battery in about three and a half hours.
