Hi, Finally received my new CE02 on the 27th July 26, I purchased the bike new in June with a deal where I would have the Standard High Powered model with the Pro Flash mode and an extra Quick Charger. It’s taken this long because BMW technical in Germany couldn’t workout how to upload the...

Hi, Trying to get my head around how the CE02 system works for charging compared to those vehicles with a built in charger. This is for the full power model in case the AM model have more restrictions. So the standard model comes with an external 900W charger and the Highline model with a 1600W...

Liking the black motor

Hi, I think your find all or most EV’s suffer with the 12v battery going flat if the vehicle is left and unused, the traction battery will only charge the 12v battery when the vehicle is turned on or being charged itself. I’ve been using a battery conditioner whenever it’s not being used and to...

I’ve been trying to source a workshop manual for the CE 04 so I could get some sort of idea how these are put together, still looking for that but I’ve come across this website bike-parts-bmw.co.uk where each major component is shown along with their prices. Seems to have a complete list of BMW...

Thank you, at least I know the rear wheel and drive system can be detached from the motor, I will ask the BMW dealer. My wishful thinking is to be able to flat tow the 04 or maybe the 02 behind the soon to be new toy a Maxus eTerron 9 pickup.

I see your point but I’m trying to kind out if the bike could be flat towed with the front wheel attached to the vehicle tow bar on a carrier with the rear wheel on the ground. I’ve been looking into the different methods of carrying a motorcycle. I just want the rear wheel to rotate without...

Hi, Still haven’t pulled the pin and got myself one yet so thought I would ask on this forum, Is there a neutral setting or position on this bike so it will freewheel whether turned on or not.

Well here’s the bit I can’t get my head around, our A2 license (restricted license) allows bikes with up to 47bhp (35kW), so where’s the need for a 30bhp model when the full power model only has 42bhp (30kW). I could understand having a lesser powered CE-04 if it had a longer range but having...

Dam it, the computer said NO, they tried to update the software but the box for the update was greyed out. So back to looking for one at a good price, this one was a dealer registered bike from December 24 with 66 miles on it, fully loaded with everything for £8000.

Thanks for the link.

Just wondering if there’s any crash protection available for the CE 04, crash bobbins etc, I don’t have the bike yet but hopefully if things go to plan I should have it delivered by next weekend, not having eyes on it I’ve no idea if there are any suitable locations to mount any. Cheers in advance.

The C-E 04 has a battery capacity of 8.9kWh with a useable limit of 8.5kWh, so 100% isn’t really 100%.

Thanks for everyone’s input, still waiting to hear back on what the differences are between both versions on the logbooks. Seeing as A2 has a maximum power output of 47bhp why the need to clip it at 30bhp when i believe the maximum output on the c-e 04 is 42bhp. I can understand them being able...

They’ve just emailed me with the software version on their full power version, it’s 013_014_020, so the 014_013_030 on the restricted version indicates to me that’s the difference, I’ve emailed them back asking what refundable deposit they want to carry out the software upgrade, obviously I...
