TVS Motor Co, based in Chennai, has started exporting the BMW CE 02 electric scooter, which they jointly developed with BMW Motorrad. They began making this electric scooter in October 2023. This partnership between TVS and BMW started in April 2013, aiming to create motorcycles under 500cc for both local and international markets. It's been a decade since they began this partnership, and they're celebrating their achievements.
In the last fiscal year, TVS Motor Co exported a total of 1,173 electric two-wheelers. Specifically, they sent 924 units of the BMW CE 02 electric scooter, made at their Hosur plant, to overseas markets. Additionally in 2023, they exported 249 units of their own iQube electric scooter to Nepal indicating a growing interest and market presence for TVS.
The BMW CE 02 electric scooter is a collaboration between TVS Motor Co and BMW Motorrad. It boasts a 15 hp motor and can cover a distance of up to 90 km on one full charge. Weighing at 132kg, this BMW electric scooter can reach speeds of up to 95 km/h. Its design has a loop steel tubular frame and a USD fork/monoshock suspension system for a comfortable ride.
Equipped with a single-channel ABS braking system and a 296mm front disc, the CE 02 also integrates user features like ignition, all LED lighting, and reverse gear. The scooter's dashboard sports an advanced 3.5-inch TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity.
Riders can enjoy two riding modes on the CE 02: Surf and Flow. For those seeking options, there is a Highline accessory pack available that introduces a third riding mode called Flash for faster acceleration. It also includes grips, and a phone mount and has special colour choices for riders looking to personalise their scooter.
TVS Motor Company and BMW Motorrad recently marked an achievement by commemorating the production of the 150,000th unit of the 310cc series motorcycles at TVS Motors Hosur facility. This milestone celebration signified the culmination of their decade partnership with Mr KN Radhakrishnan, Director and CEO of TVS Motor Company and Dr Markus Schramm, Head of BMW Motorrad, at the event.
The 310cc series is important for both TVS and BMW Motorrad. It's TVS's top lineup and BMW's entry into mid-sized bikes strengthening their partnership, benefiting both. It shows how committed they are to provide riders all over the world the best motorcycles possible. Models include BMW G310R, BMW 310GS, BMW G310RR, and TVS Apache RR310. TVS added Apache RTR 310, aiming for its success.
