ELECTRIC SCOOTER BMW CE 04 - For the first time, the BMW CE 04 electric scooter model was released in 2017 in the form of Concept Link, and last year the Definition CE 04 was published. However, the appearance of the CE 04 remained practically unchanged. Perhaps its most characteristic feature is its long, low body with a 167 cm wheelbase. The main part of the scooter is enclosed in the distance between the axles of 15-inch wheels, which gives it a somewhat dragster look. This form factor allowed BMW to position a long, flat battery at the bottom of the scooter, thus shifting the center of gravity down. This design also optimizes the dissipation of heat generated during operation of the 147.6-volt lithium-ion battery, using a cooling plate located at the bottom with longitudinally located fins. Air-cooling the battery prevents it from overheating, prolonging its life. The battery capacity, according to the manufacturer, is 60.6 Ah, a full charge takes 4 hours and 20 minutes using a standard Level 1 charging cable, and with an optional Level 2 charger, a full recharge takes 1 hour and 40 minutes. It also allows you to charge the battery from 20 to 80 percent in 45 minutes. Partially, the battery of the BMW CE 04 is also recharged while driving, or rather, when braking. When the gas is closed, the electric motor goes into operation in generator mode, carrying out the so-called regenerative braking, which converts kinetic energy into electrical energy, slowing down the scooter and returning part of the energy to the batteries.
