I've had my CE 04 almost two months now, here in Los Angeles. Love it. I still have my Burgman 650 and other bikes for long trips, but I've been on this for almost everything around town. Today went on a 130 mile loop. Here is a typical outing for me. I leave Hollywood to meet my friend in Santa Monica. Across his street is a CVS pharmacy with free charging. I top off my charge which takes about 10 minutes as we have coffee and plan our ride. We hit the twisties in Malibu and Santa Monica mountains. At about 50 miles we stopped for lunch, I plugged it in to a paid ChargePoint charger in Malibu (Level 2 are everywhere in LA and many are free) and when lunch was done, I added 53 miles in 56 minutes and was at 100% again and it cost me $2.14. Malibu is more expensive than other locations and as I've said, often it's free. Keep in mind, as of this writing, Oct 4, 2022, gas (petrol) prices are $7.00/US gallon (about €1.85/liter) in California which is unusually high. But on average, I would say at least 1/3 of all my charging is free. Sometimes it's closer to 1/2 of all my charging. For those afraid of range, I can tell you, on my everyday popping around town, I only need to charge about once every 6 or 7 days. For city riding, most trips for me are within 3 or 4 miles and occasionally 15-20 miles. In ECO mode, I get a true 80 miles per charge. In Dynamic (fast) mode with a lot of fast starts, it's closer to 65 miles. So don't buy this if you want to travel your country. Buy it if you want to have a great deal of fun relatively locally. And, if you're lucky and live in a place with chargers everywhere like here in California, you really can go farther than you think if you plan for lunch breaks etc. Also, for those curious, when on a Level 2 charger and your bike is set to 30 amps, you will gain about 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) per minute of charge. Not fast enough for long trips, but perfectly fine for planned lunch stops.
Hey :) Wow, thank you very much for your detailed comment. Nice to see how it works in real life. Of course it always depends on your requirements on a vehicle. Maybe I will forward your comment to BMW public relations if it's okay for you ;) Have fun and ride safe :)
Looks like it would make an ideal city bike that is also capable of some freeway work. Impressive 0-50 time. The 0-100 is what it is, remember, it’s still quicker than most cars. 👍😎🇦🇺
Gidday Bro, Great Job on the video. Man, never seen a Bike like that Before. Yeah be a cool bike I bet to ride down the Motorway on. You would be turning some heads thats for real. Good Job, Big thumbs up, Cheers Paul
Good evening Bro :) It's not made for motorway, the battery will not last long :D I guess at fullspeed only about 70-80km. But in cities you can go 130km easily. Range test will follow soon ;)
I didn't see in your gear section with your Amazon links, what is this camera mount you are using? Also, if you like this you should try a properly quick electric like a Livewire or Zero!
the mounting is just the big plate in the packaging when you buy your Gopro, but a little bit modified. And it's mountet with tape. Very simple ;) And yes, I tried to get a Zero bike, and already have been in contact with them. They gave me a contact to a Zero and Energica dealer in my city, but the dealer told me, if I want to do acceleration tests with this bike, I should pay 100 Euro per hour !!!! because of material wear. This is ridiculous. I can rent such a bike for about 150-200 Euro the whole day.
@@mototop_ ah that explains it. I have a GoPro clone so I didn't get that mount haha. I will buy a real one soon though. 100 Euro pro Stunde? Spinnt der!? Kommt seine Frau auf den Rücksitz oder 😂?
Naah! I wouldn't consider it. notice at the beginning of the ride the charge was 83%. after few seconds of maximum acceleration, the charge dropped down to 61% ?! so that's a 22% drop in few seconds? too quick of a battery discharge, i think. and this is a brand new bike (2022 model). if it was few years older, the battery efficiency would be drastically reduced. just my two cents.

@@mototop_ no doubt of it, but you must be very thin. 60kgs! 🙆♂️. Honestly I dont believe in electric bikes. I've got 5 bikes now, 2 of them scooters, and even my sh125 will do 115km/h and its good for 280-300kms of range. Obviously wont get to 100 as quick as the BMW but its not as expensive as the BMW as well. 😅
@@rvrffdd6416 Man don't embarrass yourself a 125cc ECI is a complete different scooter. It's more like a moped. You never drove an EV bike I guess. You will be amazed about the torque.
@@hermanstokbrood 😂😂😂 torque... One of my big bikes is a rocket 3 2500cm3 engine. I guess I know something about torque. Electric cars maybe will be our future (I hope not) but IMO, bikes wont be. As a mechanical engineer in my company we are working since 2016 with hidrogen. Just to save ICE on cars and bikes
Looks: 10/10 for me. Radius: 3/10 It can be enough for daily home to work driving but being able to drive 200km or more would have been much better. Top speed: 2/10 130km/h Is oke but again being able to reach 150-170 km/h would for me be a better top speed.
@@mototop_ yes but £14k for a scooter is too expensive. I'd buy it for maybe 3 or 4k maybe. I built an ebike with a kit,it cost me £300 plus an old mountain bike, does 30mph and I can get 80 miles easily.
To be honest, I don't think I would feel comfortable with this bike, I would be afraid of ending up in the middle of nowhere because of the battery. Take a look at your dashboard and see how the battery drains very quickly,
@@mototop_ not official positioning device, speed measurement is only optional! it does not give an authentic measurement, it depends on the number of satellites and interference! this is a lie!!! study the topic
@@tsada2973 it's way more accurate rhan speedometer and accurate enough for comparison of bikes. The speed is abou +-1kph accurate. The rate is 10hz and therefor enough for acceleration test. Racebox is better with 25hz. You have at least a dozen sattelites, that's also enough.
hahahaa, range 60 km, after 9 sec range is59km. lol, he ride 124 kmh /3,6 = 34,44 m/s = 310 meters. LOL 1 km for BMW is 310 real. Cool. I will never buy this shlt

1:28 nice for maxiscooter but little bit slow for 110+20 highways ;)
just like most electric vehicles ;) great acceleration, but not high topspeed

0-80 km/h super quick
80+ km/h accel, poor
top speed very bad...
Range bad!
what do you guess the range is?
How fast is 0 to 60 mph? I'm not from the land of the queer I mean queen..
It's written in the description ;) 0-60 mph is 6,3s
Thank for the laugh ))
Laughing is good for your health
Extreme battery comsumption 😅
2% to accelerate 0 to 123
full acceleration means full power means a lot of KW :)
太帥了
Do you speak English?
But range of around 60 to 70 miles is very poor for a bike costing £14k in the UK.
Who would buy it?@@@#?
but it's an urban scooter
@@mototop_ yes but £14k for a scooter is too expensive.
