The BMW CE 04 has a futuristic design that looks like it’s straight out of the Tron movies. The scooter is packed with features and power but is priced at Rs 14.90 lakh (ex-showroom). This high price is because it is imported as a CBU (Completely Built Unit) in India. It may not be for everyone, but it caters to specific customers looking for a unique and special electric scooter that stands out.
