50 mile/gal at $3.50/gallon california = $7 for 100mile. 14Kwh battery x $0.20Kwh = $2.80 for 100 mile. But there is no oil changed or much maintence, so how much is that? This scooter will last 10yrs, how much overall cost savings in that time? Is it worth it? I think so.
I've yet to find data or a review that compares day riding with night riding and how much difference that makes to battery consumption. Any one know of a review which does this?
Tested on a Xiaomi M365 (Bird or Lime type) scooter which are 250W, so lighting is a much bigger percentage of energy draw compared to the 35KW of the BMW. The difference in mileage was less than 5% and it might even be down to the lower temperature during the night ride: the batteries seem to perform best between 20°C and 35°C, it's winter here so about 10°C during the day, and (almost) freezing at night.
The government should threat motorcycles the same as cars. In my country the most sold car in 2019 was the Tesla model 3, its that cheap driving it as a company car. I drove a C evolution some months ago. The torque is simply addictive. I love to own one if it was only a few grant cheaper......
That sure is a problem. But did you ever drive one? Really, the torque is so addictive. I can't remember I had ever so much fun driving a normal bike. But yeah the price and range still is something to think about.
BMW didn’t even try with the design of this one. Just copied Yamaha and Honda designs that are literally 20 years old. 😕 And the cost is ridiculous. BMW made it so charge that ridiculous amount. Stupid. There are better performing, better looking, and lower cost e-scooters out. Have been for a while now.
If they really care for the enviroment all these electric shait should be less expensive! clearly they don't give a shit! and not to mention electricity pollutes as well!
Idiots. Typical. You're so sure of the importance of your opinion, regardless of how completely uninformed you are. Even if the electricity were from dirty coal, electric vehicles are up to 3 times more efficient than gas vehicles. In other words the absolute amount of energy used is still about 1/3 that of a gas engine. They can't lose money on bleeding edge tech just to help the environment. The more people (admittedly people with deep pockets) that adopt these early versions, the cheaper they will become in the future. And you could theoretically power a vehicle like this purely on SOLAR energy as well, which isn't even an option for gas vehicles.
Why should it be cheaper? People still need to get payed, and its a developing technology, in 10 years sonething like this might go for half half the price but right now most profit will be used as funding research and development, and ofcourse paying the people who make these machines.
@@account-not-found-try-again You don't get it. It's the government that can make it cheaper. A tesla model 3 is the best sold car in my country in 2019. The government can make the difference but only for companies.....

telocity god gas is expensive in the USA 50cents per litre in my country
@@boroboro4294 €1,65 = $1,96 per liter in my country. So, EV's are very attractive to drive.

Great review!
Is it electric, guys?

With that milage,speed the cost is higher
Problem is that it cost like 2 1/2 xmax 400, bmw c 400x or 3 times forza 300.
That sure is a problem. But did you ever drive one? Really, the torque is so addictive. I can't remember I had ever so much fun driving a normal bike. But yeah the price and range still is something to think about.
You dont need a drivers license for too btw
Not in Europe. It's too powerful.
@@hermanstokbrood oh, im getting the daymak electric scooter someday, and make a review on it hopefully, are you thinking of getting a e scooter ?
@@GaelLazerYT this BMW has 48hp. Yes I want one. Just not at €16k. It's just for fun.
ثمنها كام
great design
Cool and quiet, but still too expensive for its performance. It would be better to compare with the upcoming Vespa Elettrica.
Not a reasonable comparison the Vespa can’t beat 30 miles an hour and can’t be used on the highway
13k?? just buy a car
JogBird or a zero.
JogBird gas one! Lol
I'd kill for a Tesla scooter
That would be sick!
What would be different between this and tesla scooter? Except for the logo printed on the scooter of course...
@@elukok think: Tesla model S vs BMW i3.
@@alibenkhalid4192 think: 90k Euro vs 40k Euro
i8 is much closer comparison price-wise
@@elukok A tesla would have a Zero pricetag. That doesn't get me exited either.
Hoe much is this motorcycle? $1, 300 doesn't seem to bad.
Ibraheem Productions
13,000$, Now it might hurt you…!
@@niveshk936 €1300 would be an instant buy.
13k? ... Who's gonna buy it? ...
In my country €16k. There are few though.
@@hermanstokbrood Why wouldn't you buy a normal scooter or motorcycle? What's the point
@@rajasimanta you have to drive one to understand I guess. Maximum torque from 0 rpm is a addictive experience.
A top of the line vespa or piaggio for half that price looks twice as cool, and get 60+ mpg. No one wants that green panel either.

I prefer buy a nice car rather than buy this extremly expensive bike
I can already hear my friends calling me gay for riding this
i guess they must be gay REPRESSED....it s just a scooter...gay s only someone attracted to men...not to scooters....2018...god...
You need new friends.
Why does the reviewer look constipated?
Tesla master race
yes im gonna buy it to get myself my 25th girlfriend at the same time
