It looks very cool, but it seems the engineers went out to lunch and forgot to design a rear wheel. It looks like the spare tire from my old 97 Civic.

Very impressed,actually more than that I'm sold. Expensive but look at how well it is designed. So practical and user friendly. I'd like to see a video of one optioned up with the comfort seat, a top box - I don't need a pillion seat. Screen for rain and wind protection. Hand covers,protection bars around grips. Slot wheel mags to let sidewinds through motorways, rural roads.

Easily the most in depth review I have seen for this scooter. Saw one in the gym carpark and never even knew it was a thing being a biker we are quite limited by electric selection

Very excited for this bike. Thanks for the great review! I am hoping to get mine end of March. Will let you know.

Thanks Bob for a very good comprehensive look at the BMW, look forward to reviewing this in Aus conditions (heat). Cheers.

Whoever designed the storage space so that it can be opened to grab a hobnob at the lights is a genius! Appreciate this intro was posted 9 months ago but I must admit, I was pleasantly surprised by the price - I was expecting +/- 20grand.

$15,000 in Canada and the 400 GT Gas version is $9,000 which gives you $6,000 for gas which is 65 MPG gets you around 1818 gallons of fuel for around 118,181 miles of range enough said !!!!

Very good design and lot of good functions. I like the reverse on it, my current electric bike can be very cumbersome, when trying to maneuver out of tight spots.

Thanks for this review. Looks like a great bike. I saw an article that said they would be around $12,000 in the U.S.

Recently had the chance to ride one from Blackfoot Motosports in Calgary AB, I find the ride very comfortable, there is definitely power to spare when you are on the highway, as you mentioned that TFT display is awesome...the best part about this is the Fun Factor...it is off the chart!

Very cool - I love it! Thanks for the excellent review, Bob.

Lo ritirerò questo Lunedì , sei stato il migliore nel recensire questo Stupendo Scooter !!! Grazie !!

Wow, I really like it. Good job BMW. I might pick one up in the future.

just got mine today! its amazing

Love that futuristic look this would work out fine for me. Very cool

Great review 👍🏼. Really good design and nice and practical with bags of tec. Might have to have a go on one.🤔

"911 help! Someone stole my purse!" "What did the thief look like?" "TRON"

Feb 2022:Healthy 70 y/o Torontonian. Great show, thanks for all the effort and details. I'm off to buy a BMW CE 04!

Ordered one! Test rode it and it blew me away. I actually have an i3 too and it rides like the i3. Regen brakes are great. Tons of torque, takes off like a rocket. Light and nimble. perfect commuter, but also a fun weekend bike for the city. I wont be taking it on long trips though, not till infrastructure improves.

Really love this bike, I can see a SUITable use for it for sure

Pretty smart machine. I'd like to see an option to colour up the wheels, and maybe add anchor points to add passenger backrest or luggage mounting. Very Akira, which I like a lot.

Nice review, thanks. I would get one just for the design, it really is something special. I even like the rear wheel. But not at that price. Maybe when they come down to sensible used levels.

what a great review. so on point, so clear. very good

If i lived in a city I would definitly want one. And i love the futuristic look

I love everything about this bike I would love to own one I love the design and I love the technologies

Been waiting for this review. Excellent design and features. If only the price was a bit better. But then again people pay as much for a T-max

Not seen this channel before. Great review pal. Nice one

Probably the most interesting modern designed bike of any kind on the market today, bravo to BMW!

Looks pretty cool - tech pack is impressive.

Brilliant review - thank you

I'm usually into more traditional designs with bikes, like modern classics etc. But this is actually pretty cool! The only bit I'm not a fan of is the orange visor, kinda looks like something Id have made in D&T back in my school days!

Stereo sound of this video is amazing.

Great review.. 👏 I do like a scoot.. especially for buzzing around London … not so good for the 30 mile commute in

Great review Bob

The future personified. Love it.

Superb design, hats off

this is one of the most impressive things ive seen in recent times. im considering getting a bike license just so I can buy this bike. I already have a hybrid 330e so this would be a nice addition.

great overview , thank you from Canada ! Manny🙂

right, its got a proper futuristic design styling! Props!

Great, informative video! Full disclosure, I crept on your video to prepare for my own review video of the CE 04!

I just love the design - it looks just like it should Every aspect of it screams future and I love BMW for choosing the future path with this one

Very interesting. Good skills Bob.

Excellent video. As always!!!😎

as always, a great, detailed video.....

The overheating problem is real! I was navigating in Colombia and my phone went into a safe mode if I kept it in the sun for not long at all.

Love it. BMW nailed it.

First video watched and impressed, followed and looking forward to more 😀

They should have a large storage box above the rear fender, always a great review

Knowing BMW replacement prices for car parts this thing will be eye-watering let alone deflating for Mr Av 2Wheeler!!!

Best review. Thanks 🙏

Pretty nice. While I'm a guy who thinks a Bonneville 1200 Speed Twin or Thruxton is close to perfection, I still admire where this bike is taking us as e-bikes gain in popularity.

I like it I have been after an electric motor scooter and that will suit me perfectly thank you for the review I would also like to see some of the accessories that you spoke about as that would be very helpful in guiding my choices and well done good review

Great review

Love that rear wheel

Very interesting, thanks for the video

Pretty fun little platform. I like the design except the headlight. Will be interesting to see what modders come up with. It's very expensive though.

I really like the design. I want to see a GT version with maybe midi sized wheels for two up longer distances. Or maybe the similar design language with a crossover looking bike...

Crazy expensive for only 2 persons. It is not a car !!! Excelent review. Great work!

I think it looks ace! price is my only grumble

Looks sooo much better than in white. Needs back rest & some sort of rear box - has the length for it !

Love the “Judge Dred” design!

It looks rad.

Wow. This is impressive. I wish I could get one

I like the look of this even if many think it's like an ironing board. Reverse! Superbly equipped. But far too many features for an 80 mile scooter - a Super Soco or Niu will do that job at a fraction of the price. Good on BMW for making this. And when that battery density goes up - nice it's sharing the iX/i4 pack so good chance of that - it'll be a lot more compelling.

Purchased the exact same scooter and color back in July of 2022. It’s absolutely amazing to ride. No regrets whatsoever 👍 15:39

It comes with a great topbox... for a fair amount of cash. I fancy one of these.

Motorbikes like this should have two dials to adjust the Throttle response and Regen on the go. It has been said that it is most economical not to regenerate every time you let go of the gas. You should coast and only regen when needed. What I got from this is you should always ride the Rain mode to limit acceleration and regen and then change to eco when you NEED to stop. I guess it works like that ok but you need to know what every mode does.

I don’t even mind the price but it could do with a bit of a rack behind the seat. Could always bend one up and send it to the powder coater.

Looks awesome. Heavy though! I wonder how it compares to the Fonz NKD which has similar cyberpunk styling

You'd think that would have an in-wheel motor at this point already. Looks really nice and futuristic with some retro flare with the seat though. Range is perfectly fine too with fast-charging. I'd love to see Xiaomi make a similar one at half the price :D

Looks great just waiting for an electric bobber style bike because I’m to short for the sport bike style

Superb tech

Looks great. 30 years ago when I had a 60 min commute on my Beemer each day this might have converted me to a scooter rider. Go electric, go Sci-Fi styling!

Love it...would buy one today...except...80 miles, that's still not enough range for me to be comfortable.

I dont really like scooters but man i love this one for sure.

Definitely interesting. I think that if it had larger wheels would make it more practical. I don't understand why, with that price, all the safety options are not included in the price.

I like it - looks very cool and would be great for my work commute of around 5 miles a day. The price is way too salty though and puts it way out of reach for most of us. In comparison - I recently bought a Honda Forza 300 with less than 500 miles on it for £4800, which makes the BMW look very expensive. Also, how could it be chained up? I didn’t seem very security friendly. Andy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Great video. Thanks. I actually really like its looks and like you said; it's packed with features. As for the price ....ick. :)

Thats a fun looking scooty.

I like this bike but it is a specific use model. That is longer range commuting. For short commuting you’d go for a more compact scooter and for recreation a Zero or Alrendo.

That red Akira bike is becoming each year more and more possible

Awesome scooter. I love it😍

I got a Niu Uqi Pro 45km/h E-moped. 1kwh, but about 30-35km range. Weighs 58kg Honestly enough for short city travels

Alright, normally scooters look lame, but this looks proper techno and I love it.

Serious question - how on earth do you secure this thing? No way of getting a chain through those solid wheels, the shrouds around the brakes mean no disc locks, and no way of getting a lock through the rear sprocket. You could get a longer chain through the rear shock, but that looks like it can be unbolted in no time. A £10k+ scooter with just the stock immobiliser would be gone in seconds in a city like London. It's like they've made a futuristic city scooter for a futuristic city that doesn't exist.

Great Review, thank you. But, can you comment on side stand vs center stand and also what if you want to cable/chain it to a post or just chain it? Thank you.

I actually like the look of this but the thing I don't like about it is the storage compartment. That space could have been utilised for an extra optional battery pack to give it more range. Also it takes a long time to charge, set the scene, pouring down with rain or it just started snowing, you got 40 mile ride to get home, but the battery is way too low to get you there, you have to sit and wait 2 or more hours just to get home, and what if you don't have a charger at home, or can't charge at home, your bike will be flat the next day until you take it to the nearest charger and wait for it to charge yet another 2 to 4 or more hours. But with the extra space and with an optional battery you could leave that on charge in your house take it out when you need it, won't need to go looking for a street charger, and so on. So it has potential but it still does not address the issue of charge time and charge issues, and what's the point of having a bike that goes reasonably fast if it is only for the city, most cities now in the UK for example are 20 mph. And you won't need to wait in the rain or snow while it charges, unlike this.

I think this's perfect scooter for me!

I like it but wonder how it will do in winter... prob suffer range wise for sure but what abt starting in cold climates (like Chicago cold winters)

Cool ...luv the review ...and the bike as a commute does it have an anti theft tracker ?

Very cool

Thanks for the great initial review Bob! Quick off the mark as usual. A couple of things I thought about on first seeing this. First and foremost, it looks like a good scooter for city travel. I like the quirky futuristic looks (personal taste obv) the seat looks terrible though and the pillion 'perch' is a serious afterthought. I LOVE the TFT dash! ALL bikes with a TFT take a look at how it should be done! Range is acceptable for what it is intended to do, commute city streets. If you live further than 40 miles then you're looking at charging at work. (No biggie) I would have liked to see a dedicated storage area for the charging cables separate from the 'boot' area. This bike is going to need charging with a small range and the ability to carry the cables without taking up storage would be key if I was designing it. The price....yeah...THAT is a sore one. best part of 12k UK is steep.

Huge scooter, real whell and seat designed in SSSR.

Loves everything except for the 130km range that's a bit too short, around 200km per charge would be more appropriate.

Looks cool and I like the concept but with a max of 80 miles it's a second bike and at that price it is about 2x as much as I'd spend.

An awesome review Bob. Thank you. I know it’s possible not one of the selling points or even part of the design brief, however does it have a claimed 0-100 kph time? Just curious. The range is also a bit limited as, being Melbourne based, I could go from one area within Melbourne and run out of range before even leaving Melbourne. 👍😎🇦🇺

Very good looking

Very cool! I wonder if it gains traction in north america or not!

Thanks
