BMW CE-04 Electric Scooter - Full Review

[@EBPlusC200]

These are nice looking bike. I saw one in person when i was in France last year.

[@stewy62]

I have no desire to own either an electric vehicle or a scooter but I still found it an interesting review 🇬🇧

[@route21garage]

Neither do I 😂😂 but you have to ride one just for the experience and adventure 🥳

[@sam.n7762]

hell yeah murica!!! electric mobility is communism. Hail Jesus@@route21garage YEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@HarleyDavidsonVince]

Lets hope you can afford auto insurance if you ever become a senior driver

[@jerrydash5433]

Looking to buy one, had a 2019 bmw i3s with range extender, absolutely Brilliant car, I only sold it cause I moved Overseas and would love to get another one.

[@louisfkoorts5590]

Wonderful. Only the cost of ownership prevent me. But that is similar, to current bicycles and just about anything manufactured. Thanks, nice review.

[@LemonySnicket-EUC]

Loud horns are more important than loud pipes. Loud pipes are just an excuse.

[@1990-t1j]

Can you imagine: a Triumph Rocket 3 R as your main bike and a BMW CE-04 as your runaround?

[@route21garage]

That’s a recipe for disaster 🥳 One is a total animal and the other just different! Which bike do you get used to?

[@-Eternal-Damnation-]

Nice review and I love the accent, its lekker!

[@route21garage]

Thank you 😂👍🏻

[@Rodney2968]

Well done, love your work

[@route21garage]

Thank you 🙏

[@dailyrider2975]

I'll be honest as a vehicle driver with hundred of thousands of mile under my belt I would sometimes notice bike lane splitting in my mirror, but on the whole bikes would pass my vehicle lane splitting before I noticed them, even with loud pipes.

[@J.Harry.T]

I quite like the front half. When they get around to finishing the rear end, it should be a decent looking bike.

I work 40km from home with 25km of motorway. I wonder if the battery would get me to and from work?

[@route21garage]

I definitely think it would 👍🏻

[@chrisfifield8583]

I drive 24 miles to and from for my commute . I use approximately 40 % battery to get there , and 40% battery to get back . I normally have 20 % battery remaining when I get back . But I have to stick to the city streets, and it takes over an hour for my commute in stop and go traffic going 40 to 50 mph in eco mode. I made the mistake of taking it on the highway . It took 70 % battery to travel 24 miles , and I had to recharge when I got there, which added an hour and a half to my trip just to get back. If you're going 40 to 50 mph in stop and go traffic, the bike should go 60 miles. You can do it . But I dont think it's possible on 1 charge if you're driving on the highway for any stretch

[@chrisfifield8583]

Driving on the highway drains the battery way faster than I realized

[@Romiman1]

I also have one and I have 35km one way with about 30km motorway from. I also need about 30-40% for one trip. Not doing more than real 100km/h (105 speedo) on the motorway, I 'll get 1km range for 1% battery load. (Innercity it's way more.)

Check out Ultraviolet, its an Indian EV start up their bike F77 has a range of 340 kms, from a 10 kwh battery, 40 HP, 100 NM of torque.

[@reginaldpotts2037]

That's a racy looking bike that will appeal to youngsters nothing like what is being reviewed here.

[@chrisfifield8583]

Does anyone know the battery chemistry of the bmw ce04 ? Online it says lithium ion , ... yeah lithium ion has 4 different battery chemistries theres nmc , lfp . If anyone knows , i would greatly appreciate knowing that information

[@Romiman1]

It's NMC like almost every current BMW EV.

[@reginaldpotts2037]

Is it possible to lower the charging power to say 1500W (7A) so it doesn't overload my 48V inverter? Any guidance appreciated.

[@route21garage]

I could not answer that. You would have to check with BMW and also check how it would affect your warranty

[@reginaldpotts2037]

@@route21garage Someone answered on another video that charge limit can be set in the menu but they never said what the range limit is.

[@peterlejon2168]

I’m not sure about this bike. But in the app for my bmw electric car, I can set the charging from 6A to 32A.

[@yougotfamily]

The design…ah I’m on the fence. It seems unfinished or like something is missing toward the back. At that price even with the tech I just can’t see pulling the trigger.

[@benoitnovel4948]

Would you choose the CE 04 over the C400GT?

[@route21garage]

@@benoitnovel4948 I would choose the C400GT , more all round practical

[@rigoperez9138]

Never ridden a scooter before! Do you recommend it for a first timer

[@route21garage]

I would say no to this scooter as it produces all its go from 0rpm. Traditional scooter with combustion engine builds power gradually as rpm builds which I would say is more manageable for a first timer

[@rigoperez9138]

@@route21garage appreciate the fast reply! I really want this but I guess it wouldn’t be a safe option. What do you recommend for me to buy so I can build up to ride this BMW? Gained a sub! Thanks again

[@route21garage]

Anything in a 400cc scooter category that you feel relaxed in a riding position for a year or so. Thrashing that around till you feel confident then you’ll have a blast on this Beemer

[@bfarm44]

Also this has a different dynamic with its wheel base being as long as it is. If there’s a rental place around you might be a good idea to see if they can get you started. Picking too small of a scooter can be a difficult experience too.

[@kikoy08]

China had released escooter with fast charging capabilities.why can’t these big brands do such?

[@tomryner5830]

As I recall this is Durban style driving. Two lanes? Nah there’s room for three. 😁

[@tomryner5830]

I’m pretty intrigued by this Scooter. Don’t know when to use it though. Am a Triumph Speed Twin rider and Love the sound. Next will probably be a Moto Guzzi Mandello V100 for me and the misses for travel. Where would this fit in? As a commuter? Nah rather go with the Triumph. As a novelty? Yeah maybe. As a must have if I can’t drive on renewable fuels because politicians decide to go even More bonkers? Yes then maybe. BUT that said. Had I had the money I would Absolutely buy one, looks cool and practical. Ok a normal scooter with a Normal seat is even more practical but… still

[@route21garage]

[@jackriv1490]

What os the kilometer range? (Maybe i missed it)

[@route21garage]

About 120km realistically

[@ronedwards8239]

I prefer the Magellan Grey.

[@10basetom]

Pretty surreal -- it costs as much as a used BMW i3 🤯

[@route21garage]

😂😂😂😱

[@DemirMotorrad]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@gildardo]

Why 720p? Great content, otherwise.

[@bfarm44]

I’m a tech geek and like these but the price for the range isn’t good. And there should be an optional plug and play extender battery for that storage compartment option in that price. Just sticking their moniker on it doesn’t make it all that great. Silk hatting a pig is still a pig. Rich boys toy who has time to deal with the issues.

Wait... why do pedestrians need to hear or see you?

[@bfarm44]

For some mysterious reason the fly screen is only available in clear in the US but a can of krylon stained glass spray paint shot onto the back of it is an eight dollar cure for that stupidity. I’d get one if I win the money on a lottery ticket because the geek in me loves it and the 40 years on motorcycles loves everything on two wheels
