BMW CE-04 - First ride 

This is maybe the best stuff that BMW has released in years.. 😎

I bought a CE04 the day I first saw it in a promo video. It is wonderful. What more would you want it to look like? Do you miss a big “manly” exhaust? Perhaps you want a raised passenger seat? What would your ideal electric maxi scooter look like?

I absolutely love how it looks. Reminds me of Judge Dredd's bike.

As I've said you are doing a great job on reviewing scooters! Who would have thought the last bit about slowly coasting in a close space surrounded by people and cars and shopping trolleys where balance and maneuverability and close call braking are priceless...only passionates!

Insane scooter. Technology very impressive. But i prefer my Honda PCX. No range issues. And more environmentally friendly than electric vehicles. Great video Alex. 🇹🇭🙏

this is the first review of this bike I have seen. Thanks Alex. very much appreciated.

HI Alex! Greeting from Germany. Bought myself a Sym Cruisym (2018) an love it! // The CE-04 is Lightyears away of what will really be possible to purchase form - I Think! but seems to be great fun! -and very expensive...

is there a way to push the top case forward a bit to use it as a driver backrest?

Too bad BMW doesn’t reproduce the C1 scooter, I would love to have one. This scooter seems interesting. I’ll definitely look up the info on it. I wonder if there’s going to be a decent windscreen for it. It’s odd looking……I like it.✌️

Thank you Alex This is not a 125, is it? Wich electric 125 would you recommend, from those you tested so far?

I test rode the scoot and had one delivered recently - just amazing on dual carriageways and around town,. Connectivity is fantastic and totally intuitive. Range is not an an issue for me - I have no intention of "touring" on it (that's what my 1000cc is for!) Got mine from a Dealer, "used" with very low mileage - fully spec'd - dynamic & comfort packs, fast charger, extended service pack etc. for just shy of £3k less than the fully spec'd price (some luck & good timing on my part). Expecting it to cost me less than £5 per month to charge based on my work commute. Note it is all electric so 100% tax deductible through a company (UK). Did I mention it is highly maneuverable and just insane when pulling away from lights....

I suspect this thing has a limiter or something. 40hp 62nm, should go faster than 120kmh. also because the acceleration is so fast and then tapers off makes me think that it has a limiter.

when you go on a long road trip? :)

정말 좋은 리뷰 감사합니다

Eaaaaasy Alex! You are liking this a bit too much lol kidding I would too lol

And to avoid modern electric trolls....yes, I would buy it just because of that flat seat which is perfect for tall person. Exactly how old Vespas had it. BUT only if it will be hydrogen version so having no issues with range and time of refuelling ;-)

"Weirdo scooter" :)) Loved the review Alex.

It’s pretty amazing and charges fast at a high speed charging station. And I think it looks incredible.

I personally would not pay 13k for it even with a capability of 42hp and a range of 90km. Thats just me. Its a very good machine but its price makes it unwelcoming. If it was 7k with 150 range I would think about buying it.

It's useless and will be for a long time unless some magic happen with battery technology. Range (at 60km/h only as it is according to WTMC) is 130km, but PCX for 1/4 of price can go about 3 times more. Then you refill in like 5 - 10 minutes. This there are not much places to refill so you are not free in movement (one of the best benefits of motorcycle/scooter) and it takes about 65 minutes with quickcharge which of course very quickly destroy your battery and its capacity/range. Even with smallest motorcycles/scooters I do daily trips over 300km which would mean about 5 refuel stops with this electric machine (remember, 130km range is basically in city avoiding even those roundabout roads inside which are having limit 80km/h). That's 325 minutes wasted by refueling so nearly 5 hours => so it's not practical at all and never will be with current technology. There are only 2 pros: 1) It's quiet which is fine often 2) Yes, it's fun for such short fun ride But it's future of mobility, however not in a way how we drivers look at it, but how companies and governments look at it. That it will be available only for the most rich whoch can afford those expensive machines and their refuelling (gues what will happen with electricty prices if everyone will want to have one as is now case with gas cars/motorcycles/scooters). So less traffic on the road so that rich can enjoy ride without meeting pesants on the way 🙂

Its a motorcycle.
