![]() Performance plateaus from 30-50mph, but it still doesn’t take long to reach the limited top speed of 80mph – plenty for dual carriageway work. I honestly think (and suspect BMW do too) that a shorter wheelbase and higher centre of gravity would result in riders “doing a Bautista” on their way out of a Starbucks car park. ⏱️ Join for #60secondswith the BMW CE 04 scooter and then read our ultimate electric bike guide here: /SwmuaLlpvu- Motor Cycle News February 3, 2023 The CE 04’s wheelbase is a massive 1675mm, just 2mm shy of a Triumph Rocket 3, largely because the rear wheel is stretched out behind you like a drag bike. It’s genuinely hilarious and it may explain why BMW saw fit to put the rear wheel quite so far away from the rest of the scooter. I can’t think of anything else I’ve ridden that takes off from a standstill so quickly… including 200bhp superbikes. The BMW’s spaceship looks are backed up by spaceship performance from 0-30mph and the first wave of acceleration is more like engaging a warp drive than a throttle. ![]() But there’s a hint of the kind of po-faced worthiness often associated with Tesla’s early adopters.įortunately, all that disappears the moment you twist the throttle. With styling that sits somewhere between a Tron Light Cycle and a Lego Technic build, the BMW will certainly turn heads. The £12,270 (or £14,120 in the spec we are testing today) CE 04 would look right at home in the angular, whitewashed garage of a turtleneck-wearing architect. ![]() And the Yadea is the newcomer, a simple, cheap, knees-together scooter imported by Lexmoto. The Super Soco is the people’s champ, a more affordable option that regularly appears in the sales charts. The BMW represents the luxurious, high-tech and expensive end of the market.
