One of the most underrated aspects of electric scooters/motorcycles is the silence. Once i experienced riding in silence, i can't go back. Its a true "flying" experience.
Tried to watch this, turned it off 40 seconds in. Just tell us at the beginning if you are gonna cry like a baby the entire time and we can just skip the video entirely.
Once you get used to it, the "Wonder Wheel" on the left handgrip is very intuitive. Being able to access information and controls for things like handlebar heat and trip meters is awesome. Probably should have been checked out on how to operate the scooter before you rode it!
Weird item. Hard to figure who fits the range, WB and performance. Only BMW can afford to actually make one for sale.. Doesn't fit an urban use case. Doesn't fit a touring use case.
I've been on both sides of the car versus motorcycle crash. It was much less life changing to be the one on the bike. I look for bikes in places no one would think of after years of riding. Someone lane splitting thru a completely stopped and backed up intersection was one scenario I never thought of. Especially a dude on a Harley at 25 mph over the posted speed. Wear the gear all of the time!
@@theantiqueactionfigure got a buddy who got hit in an intersection .. in my opinion he was going way too fast.. He won the case, lawyers said there’s no speed limit for lane splitting (In CA) I still find it hard to believe years later 🤷♂️
@MrOscar5690 this dude left a hundred foot skid mark right past the stopped cars he was splitting up to my truck. Speedo broke at ten miles over the limit. I was turning left though, so it was deemed 100 percent my fault. I'm lifelong LA area rider where we spit lanes legally and hopefully carefully. I never would have made the stupid move he did. He nearly paid for it with his life.
@@theantiqueactionfigure The car that hit my buddy was also turning left too... he was barely moving though.. my buddy just got knocked off, minor injuries.. I used to ride too, I always slowed down at intersections where traffic isn’t moving. Cuz 1, someone could be making a left turn or 2/3 pedestrian or debris.. I’m glad your guy was ok
No windscreen very limited storage. And it's electric. And since it's a BMW you'll be getting very regular and very expensive maintenance. And you need to find a charging station constantly. Range less than exciting. And a 3000 scooter will cost closer to 10k. So that's like.... Strike 1 thru 9. You struck out the side, BMW. Electric bikes were a disaster for Harley so Germany says hold my beer.
I wanted a BMW forever. Bought one and then needed a clutch. Clutch replacement required the bike to be separated in half. Sold it with a new clutch. They did away with that dry clutch on a lot of models. A motorcycle clutch is normally an hour job.

Silence at the cost of awareness… :(
Don’t u think it is a bit or more than a bit too quiet to be heard/ not killed.
My mom was in a bike club (before I was born obviously!) and all the bikes in the club were BMW. That’s way way back when my mom was a gangsta.😅

Just guessing, maybe it’s designed for some European cities in anticipation of total restrictions on ICE vehicles.

Crazy and difficult to drive scooter? God forbid
Sounds like you haven't road anything but sport bikes.
Standards mainly. Some scooters. One Harley.

Why assume high maintenece? It might be different from other BMWs.

@@theantiqueactionfigure OMG. Well, no clutch on the electric scooter thank goodness.
Making it stupid looking for virtue signaling on the fly!
