I’ve rode street bikes for over 35 years and here is what I think about that CE 04….sweet!!! I’d ride it. Back decades ago I had a Honda Passport scooter. It was a blast to ride, especially at night. Lol That scooter is badass. I ride a ebike and I am sold on ebikes for around town.

My opinion is that EV's are well suited for urban commuting. Once you got to know the vehicle and integrate it into your lifestyle you would become familiar with it, adapt, and get past the range anxiety. Having said the the range on that thing is awfully short. You would certainly have to plug it in every night. No matter what we think EV's are the future, it has been legislated in most western countries. I appreciate you reviewing them Scott. I'll hang on to my ICE vehicles thanks. I'll be dead before full adoption arrives, thank God.

Nice review, Scott! It shows that there seems to be still some technical devolopment required so that these vehicles can compete with combustion engines (specs and price). Regarding your video, (maybe I missed it), some information on price/specs and comparable bikes/scooters (with e-motors, and without) would have been very interesting to see. When I last visitied China back in 2011 (in Wuhan), almost all of their small scooters were already electrified to have clean air in the cities. You didnt hear them coming, it was quite dangerous when beeing close to the roads. Now 10 years later here in Germany we still seem to have only overpriced motorcycles with e-engine available (same seems to be true for cars)....

I will not downgrade to this from my BMW C-evolution electric scooter for the following reasons in this order: 1 - My favorite ride mode Coasting is gone. Regen is activated as soon as you touch the brakes anyway. 2 - Wind protection and design is better on the C-evolution. Spesially with the tall Puig windscreen. 3 - My C-evolution has more power and longer range. 4 - The belt drive is better protected on the C-evolution Side note: My C-evolution is my all year daily and practical commute and saves me a lot of cash on petrol. Despite its weight is quick and nimble through traffic. My other bike is the 2021 R1250RT and is used for the longer hauls between March and October.

Firstly, thanks for the review. An interesting e-scoot but I'm not convinced this version is the answer to replacing a petrol scoot. For sure it's the future for city riding but the lack of under seat storage is extremely poor. Some petrol scoots are offering space for up to two full face helmets or a couple of bags of shopping. The long wheelbase could prove a problem in more congested city riding where your fighting for space with other road users. I like the looks of the scoot, the electronic gadgetry looks useful and it's range wouldn't bother me so much as it can be charged every other day. Im guessing because it's a BMW the price will be eye watering as well which I'm guessing won't help sales. Overall, I can't help feel that BMW have missed a trick by not building an e-scoot that can match what a normal petrol scoot offers in their versatility. This looks like a one trick pony IMHO.

The question is who buys it ? Upper class commuters with large bank accounts? In the EU area, especially the uk we have many days of rain and cold days. On those days upper class will jump in their electric cars. Therefore does it make sense, even for high earners to spend £11,700 for those days of the year that you are prepared to use 2 wheels? Very doubtful. That leaves the middle class commuter. Middle class even with a few extra pennies tucked away will not be parting with £11,700. I have a Honda forza 300. Brilliant, ABS, super smooth single cylinder engine, all the under seat storage you need, including helmet space and honda top box system. Regularly get 85 to 90 mpg giving over 200 miles from the 11.5 litre tank. I could run this honda for a decade and still be nowhere near the £11,700 asking price of this product. The problem with this model at the moment is its limitations. Range particularly. Its a one trick pony, being that it can only be used as a short range commuter and at £11,700 it will have little impact in that sector. Now, a few years down the line, when range is 300 miles plus, torque and top speed are improved, more under seat storage and a wider more comfortable seat with luggage options and you now have a product that can tour as well as commute. At this stage £11,700 becomes more considerable especially if you are concerned with your carbon footprint as they say. At the moment, it's a no from me. Great review as usual Scott. Happy riding

A city commuter should have at least space to store a laptop, and ideally room for a helmet jacket and over trousers, so that you can go into your business meeting in your suit, and not looking like a biker. BMW already know this as they have produced the C400 & C650, which do this perfectly. Unfortunately practicality has been lost in the quest for a green motorcycle. The result will not truly appeal to the city office worker or motorcycle enthusiast.

Rather a flawed design. They wanted it to looks so futuristic they made it flawed. Looks nice front on but the side view is ugly. Also to get that gap under the seat for that strange styling they made the storage compartment under the seat smaller than it could have been. The seat itself also could have being made to slide backwards a bit with that design to allow taller riders to be more comfortable. And limited to only 120kph? Most 300cc scooters are faster than that. And for all of that flawedness you get to pay twice what a good scooter would cost that can do a lot more than this thing can. I'm guessing its really heavy as well?

Hello Scott! Thanks for sharing another bike experience on the channel. This time a novelty, the future as they say. And it is quite like so, because it is not the present yet I’m afraid. The high price of the bike combined with all its limitations, like top speed and range, are two strong counters to the power sensations of the electric motion that is stunning, the silence, if you appreciate to go on Stealth mode, you got it. It is also very beautiful in a modern aesthetic point of view and that’s all. Ho! I was forgetting:- you’re being environmentally correct and feeling making part of the ones who make part of the solution for the preservation of the planet, doing your good citizen contribution to minimize the gas pollution. That’s an extra attribute for the owners of a BMW CE- 04. Maybe these are enough advantages to decide for buying this Scooter and with the additional factor that it is fun to ride, at least for a while. It resembles the song - Fallin’ & Flyin’ by Colin Farrell and Jeff Bridges -, where falling feels like flying, at least for a little while 😅 For this kind of machine I think I’d go for the Yamaha TMAX Tech MAX, nice and easy ✌️✌️
