Motorrad says the CE 02 is good for up to 56 miles of battery range, with a top speed of 59 miles per hour.
All for just $7599. 00 to start!
Yeah, I’d rather buy a really nice ebike or a nice ebike and a nice regular bike!
Motorcycle attitude! 😎
Yeah, I feel like I could do a lot better for that much
I feel like people are missing why this is such a big deal. BMW made this.
One of the worlds biggest automakers, astoundingly good engineers, many millions of dollars a year spent predicting industry trends, worldwide logistics chains for spare parts and maintenance… BMW wouldnt be doing this unless they were confident it was a smart move for the future and were confident in their product.
This isnt a small boutique manufacturer with who knows what in the way of QC, support and spares who could literally go out of business without warning.
I dunno, BMW also made the i3 and then let it wither on the vine. We’ll see how they price/market/support it.
I think the I3 was a misstep in that people were crying out for a small electric car… but brand new BMW money is also Tesla money. It wasnt that the I3 wasnt what the market was crying out for, it was just from a manufacturer with too much badge, not enough value.
I think this is just a to marked test bed. They don’t think it is going to sell. They are both testing a manufacturing feasibility and getting some real world data on both the marker and product support. I think they are trying to see if it is a Smart move.
Oh absolutely, its a gamble on BMWs part but its very encouraging for the sector overall that BMW are being seen to be throwing their hat in the ring.
That is NOT a comfortable riding position, no matter how hard BMW engineers try to sell you on the idea. Add to that too thick tires, which affect already shoddy range. No luggage area. Huge price and awful look. Just get a used Burgman and have it serve you much better than this. It’s greener to buy used vehicle anyway.
Let me say one thing right out of the gate: The BMW CE 02 looks cool.
Um this is the first line of the article… I don’t think I am going to read further.
For that price i can buy many second hand 150cc motorcycle & have fun with it
For this price you could practically get an MT07, which is way faster and much more fun
No more than 3k and I’d consider it. The price and range alone are a problem. I’d love something small. I’m 6 minutes from work I’d love something like this for the commute or a ride around town but not for twice the price of a used motorcycle
