Made for the city
Quickly get from A to B. From work to your friend’s place, from a café to the city. Flexible, spontaneous, always networked: driver, smartphone and the Definition CE 04. Its drive is completely emissions-free, the design completely rethought. With the BMW Motorrad Definition CE 04, we are consistently continuing what we started in our first electric maxi-scooter BMW C evolution and the concept bike Concept Link – maximizing mobility and pleasure. Electric and emissions-free, networked, #PluggedToLife.
Definition CE 04 is not a production series model and not available for sale.
Riding in a new urban aesthetic
Riding in a new urban aesthetic
Fast from A to B, fully electrically: The CE 04 definition glides purposefully through the city. Designed for rapid commuting. From home to work and out afterwards. Dynamic and efficient – and 100% emission-free. Thanks to its low center of gravity, riding the bike allows you to effortlessly reach your destination in the city.
Design now and for the future
A vision becomes reality
Silently and confidently through the cities: This is what the CE 04 definition concept was designed for. Our designers and developers started with a completely blank sheet of paper. At the center of their vision: People and the way they will move through the big city in the future. They then completely rethought design and functionality. The compact battery gave them great freedom. It forms the basis of the clear, dynamic silhouette: The shape of the Definition CE 04 concept is dominated by large, calm surfaces, interrupted by sharp edges.
A design that combines the need for functionality and clear aesthetics with digital reality.

Function meets design
The features of the definition CE 04 concept suit future riders. Ensuring every ride is a pleasure. The seat will float and can be individually adjusted by pushing it back and forth – even tall riders can sit comfortably. There is plenty of room for a bag or helmet in the storage compartment, which can be opened at the side. And of course it’s what’s on the outside that counts too. The bike boasts paint finish in metallic mineral white, grain parts in matte black, tapes with orange-red color gradient and aluminum wheels in disc-wheel look. The rider’s equipment is also striking: Light guides on the parka provide extra visibility.
Digital and analog world seamlessly connected
Digital and analog world seamlessly connected
In the city, you’re mobile and networked – this is how your journey from A to B should be too. The rider is connected to their surroundings with their smartphone via the Definition CE 04. The clear display becomes the interface between digital and analog life – showing all important information. The Definition model knows the next destination, navigates purposefully along the route, while your favorite playlist is playing in the background. Connected, life on the move continues: intelligent, integrated and completely intuitive.
Highly functional – and stylish
Highly functional – and stylish
Functional, safe and good looking at the same time: The casually cut parka looks just as good when you’re riding around as when you’re having a relaxed get-together with friends. Non-visible protectors are functional without attracting attention while the robust and breathable high-tech material keeps you warm and dry. Lights in the sleeves and hood significantly increase visibility on the road. You can switch them on or change their color using sensors on the sleeve. And thanks to the inductive charging function in the pocket, the smartphone has enough power too. Black riding jeans, sneakers and a white open-face helmet complete the look.
We wanted to create functional clothing that doesn’t actually look it – but simply looks good.
