BMW's CE 02 electric scooter is aimed at the youths

Жыл бұрын

BMW is expanding its electric motorcycle lineup. Well, really its electric scooter lineup. The new CE 02 is smaller than the recently available CE 04 and targets a younger buyer.
In fact, BMW doesn't even want to call it a scooter. Instead, it’s calling it a eParkourer. Yes it’s a mouthful and yes it’s mostly just marketing shenanigans, but the CE 02 looks like a classier version of the Honda Rukus with an EV powertrain inside.
BMW also showed off Motorrad companion smartglasses that display speed, speed limit, gear (for gas bikes), and turn-turn-directions. The glasses work with any of the company’s current crop of bikes that use the Motorrad app.
The CE 02 will be available in the spring of 2024, while the smart glasses will be available this summer.

The youth is going to buy a cheap 2nd hand motorcycle or scooter and the wealthier ones are going to get a car as a gift along with their license by their parents so the market for this thing is nearly non existent and another problem is that since it looks cool , has good quality peripherals and is small it screams "steal me".

Seeing as modern EUCs and electric kick scooters can outperform this in both speed and range, as well as be half the price, not really sure who this would be for. Someone wanting micro mobility would go for an EUC, ESkate, or Scooter. Someone who wants a bit more motorcycle feel and performance would just get a motorcycle. I guess it makes sense why BMW has fought hard to make PEVs illegal in Germany. Wish they'd just switch focus and compete with the manufacturers making what many consumers are already switching too. I'd love a German engineered EUC with an integrated HUD in my helmet.

I for one night actually save up some money to eventually get this.

We have a drive, but no worries about installing charging equipment. I just cannot see how this bike can a success. If you do happen to have £9000 buy a quality small second hand car.
