Revolutionary urban parkour vehicle… with the same mirrors BMW has been fitting for 20 years on just about every model 😂 This isn’t aimed at motorcyclists but trendy young things who’ve grown up with e bikes. It’s apparently the future until you realise it’s the same price as a decent used car. Probably only be financed though. I do wonder who is actually going to buy one as it looks awful and is basically useless outside of town - so why not just buy an e bike weighing < 20Kg with a similar range and 20% of the price - but then I feel the same about the design of most recent BMW motorcycles.
Scott, i can see you on this in another 30 years. Top case & a third wheel so it won't tip over. Not now. Give it another 30. Great review as always! You are a great & fun guy!
OMG! The cobblestone road was hilarious 😂 I never expected you to ride this e-scotter, anyways thanks for the review I still believe motorbike is all about adrenaline and feel a running engine, two things are gone with electric motors and small batteries to fit there
Thanks for the review. Have you? or can you review the CE04? I'm much more interested in that as it has a bit more range and power. I'm in a sub urban environment and my commute is about 110 km round trip but most of my other day trips are around 20-40km. cheers
I love these new techy bikes but can’t spend the funds on one. Still after 40 years in the saddle I’m open to new things and I could use this where I live I’m 4.5 miles from work! They’re very polarizing people like them or hate them
Great review. The tech really doesn’t seem to work on bikes. I have a 20 mile commute into London and electric would be ideal but they just don’t compare to my current GSA. And they are ridiculously expensive.
Love your reviews. Could you please be a little more specific as to what currency or speed measurements you are referring to? I know you're in Germany, so I guess you're not using miles per hour and when you say the price, it's probably not in dollars, right?
I enjoyed the review you did as usual but only because I was curious not actually interested in any kind of electric vehicle. The cobblestone fiasco was the highlight for me! I’m old school. I like ICE. I have a 23 RT like yours that I absolutely love! I also have a Porsche 992.1 Carrera S. Absolutely no electric motor on that either! 😂
55mm rear suspension travel, what you expect? i had a beautiful Triumph speedmaster 1200 but with 85mm rear travel, i had to make friend with my dentist

Can not go fast, can not go far, can not load everywhere, can not take a second person or store the helmet... ... but all influencers love it. Dear BMW, please invest in product management instead of advertisement!
This is not a race machine. It's not supposed to go fast. This is not a touring machine. It's not supposed to go far. This is not a cargo machine. It is not supposed to load stuff. This is not a taxi. It's not supposed to carry any passengers. This is not a cupboard. You cannot store stuff inside it.
Here's the problem with these E-motorcycles. Here in the UK, I would have to have a motorcycle licence. Along with that, I also need insurance. But then, as it's considered a motocycle, you need a helmet and appropriate clothing we need to pay road tax as well. Who on earth would buy one? A simple electric pedal based bike needs none of that.
Good review- BMW needs to make the EV scooters look like the gas scooter they have , if they wanna sell' em" -making them look "different is the mistake"
Like all this electric mobility stuff it's got interesting features which is looks essentially but if you look deeper inside it's pretty much pointless. So if you're someone that thinks he must absolutely consider this (in my opinion hideous) thing making any sense at all, go ahead and pay a stupid price for a stupid thing. It's your money....
Made in China, I suppose? Made for the urban asian crowd with high income. Commute to your daytime job at some App-developing office or overseas bank. Expats shpuld be the target customers. I do not think that BMW is planing to sell these things in Europe in any numbers... Not at that price, for sure. Prohibitive pricing!
Purely for the city and pointless. I live in a city, I commute on my bike, and I look forward to going for a ride in the country, I can't see the point of a bike that you can't take out for a decent ride.
@@NothingToProve Your possible minimum speed on a German Autobahn legally has to be 60 km/h. This vehicle does that. The permissible current maximum speed has nothing to do whether you can use a vehicle on the Autobahn. But still, I would be worried. If you tried to use the left lane or even the center lane, drivers would get mad. And on the right lane, the trucks would love you there as well. (We are German citizens).
@@SandraOrtmann1976 My German wife, who was born and raised in Germany, told me it was 100. Thanks for letting me know, now I have to tell her she is "WRONG". LOL!
BMW die soon as lack of common sense, CE02 scooter not affordable/looks ugly/cheap looking design chinese moped, why don't it look like honda cb100 muscular or Bajaj chetak or aprila scooters, who pay 4times to ce02 ugly named and designed moped and what abt service stations?
at least they're marketing it appropriately. URBAN ASSAULT VEHICLE. Zero and the others claiming E bikes will replace your gas bike are kidding themselves. Most "pleasure" motorcycle owners and "Adventure" riders will ride way over 100 miles in a day in the USA. Then there is the price. You can get 2-3 GROMS/MONKEYS for this, which are INCREDIBLY Efficient and, therefore, environmentally friendly. Then there is ANY USED BIKE of ANY SIZE that is going to be WAY MORE environmentally friendly to just use an nice used bike for DECADES with mininmal impact and cost. The technology isn't there for most of what the average commuter or biker wants. Money no object? There are still way better options out there. It's a novelty and a toy. E-trials and woods bikes are the only platform I've seen that make any sense since the average persons fitness level won't outlast the battery for casual exploring and the lack of noise and power makes them a great option to expand where you can ride without pissing people off with a traditional ICE bike.

Looks like my home built, Briggs and Stratton powered "mini bike" I had when I was 11.
The seat looks and feels like an ironing board

Second hand 100% is a good buy, because nobody else would buy this

Great review as always! You are a great & fun guy!
LOL! Yea but in 30 years it will be powered by cold fusion! 😂😂😂
I purchased the BMW CE 04, I actually really like it. I also have the 1250rt …
Me too.
The CE, not the RT.
After 2 years and about 11.000km still very love it.
They need an M variant that can actually get up and go.
Props to the scooter owner with an AC/DC sticker living in Germany!

That was fun. It's cute. I don't know what you'd really do with it, but I don't live in a big city.
Thanks for the review. Have you? or can you review the CE04?
I'm much more interested in that as it has a bit more range and power.

I didn't look back far enough... I found the CEo4 review.
thanks!
God help us 😂
Reminds me of the old time scooters crossed with a bicycle.
I like the am version one because here in Hungary we can drive the am version one at 14 years old (it will be my first bike)
If you can afford this bike, you can retire. Never need to work a day in your life. Many 50 year olds cannot afford it.

This would be an amazing electric version of a 125cc bike or scooter if it wasn't so expensive...

Hello Scott surely when something new comes out shouldn’t it be better than the old going out.
Grate commute for grandpas
For urban transportation it seems ok.
E-bug 👌🏻
Scott, you remain a petrol head. Maybe smoking an e-cigarette with petrol smell could help😂
Is that a Dyson? 🤔 To be fair, the road behind you looked very clean.

I'm wondering why it rides so rough. The BMW I rode years ago was like riding in a a Cadillac.

@@difflocktwo If this thing does not make any sense, it is not supposed to get bought.
@@moskitoh2651 It does not make sense for a race driver, or someone transporting huge loads or a taxi.
@@difflocktwo So for whom SHALL it make sense?
@@moskitoh2651 Someone who is not a race driver, nor cargo hauler, nor taxi. That is almost everyone.
Definitely not a chick magnet bike 😅
Costs in Euros?
8500 - 10.000
Cool but too expensive
crazy pricing!

C0 04 is sold about 14.000 pieces (over all, till july 2024).
BMW doesn't want "Me too scooters" as purpose.
Seems way expensive for something with a top speed of 55mph!
Enjoyed this.... Vo voi voice eeee on the coble stone road! eBike / eCar ... all hype of the NWO.
Honestly these do nothing for me. No secure storage? Electric motorcycles are still at the equivalent of early generation 1 Leaf

How is this better than a Honda grom.
Well it's about 3 times the cost of a grom, so it must be better! LOL!
I would stick with a Honda 125 mini bike 130+ mpg on 1 gallon of gas and 59 mph and the bike runs 4 grand. A lot cheaper than this bike.
Purely for the city and pointless. I live in a city, I commute on my bike, and I look forward to going for a ride in the country, I can't see the point of a bike that you can't take out for a decent ride.
Defo not for me Scott. 👍
Would not dare to use this on an Autobahn...
You can't, it's not allowed, speed min is 100kph. This does only 95.

@@NothingToProve MAYBE, 95. It's just a possibility, like the neutral gearbox indicator on the average moto guzzi :)
The comfort aspects of this machine (suspension and seating) are definitely lacking. It’s also ugly!
Better buy vespa
Can’t see the point just get an e-bike instead. Be way cheaper 😮💩🤓😎🏍️💨💨💨💨👍🏻🍻🇨🇦

Oh No. It may have a motor and it is a cycle, but it's no motorcycle. So, No.... just no!
BMW is now making motorcycles as horrible looking as their cars/SUV's.
Not as horrible as the people who drive them.
It looks ridiculous 😐
