    New CE-04 - 2 things don't seem right

    Thank you for posting these questions/conditions. I have experienced the same thing with my bike. From my experience: 1. I also tried the same tapping experiment you did, with the same result. I went one step further, though; I pinched the tail light together, tried tapping again, and there was...

    Ride Report: Beating the Heat [NC+TN, 7 days - 1350mi]

    This was a very enjoyable moto-vlog, @triangletom. You certainly had quite an adventure with you CE04; thank you for sharing so much of your experience with us. While epic trips are not the purpose of this bike, you demonstrated what some planning and flexibility can make possible with it. I...

    Battery self discharge and storing bike best practice

    "...if you don't use the bike for several weeks or month? That will probably happen to me next summer." The most important consideration in this situation is the state of charge of your battery. Mitleider stated that he stores his bike for long periods at an 80% state of charge, which is best...

    Stolen tft screen and anti theft brace

    I have a garage to park my CE04 in while at home, and the car park/parking lot where I work is in a very safe area; very low crime. Still, I know that I might travel to places which are not so safe, and this seems like a worthwhile investment for securing a vital component of my bike. So, I just...

    First ride with a turtle on the dashboard (below freezing)

    It is unfortunate to hear about your experience with cold weather performance loss. Because our scooters' battery and motor are taken from BMW's auto division, with the battery being a module used in the i4/iX, I checked a forum to find out if i4 owners experienced similar issues...

    The King Is Dead - Long Live The King!

    Wow! It is very good to see that your trousers and boots took all of the abrasion damage; your skin would have looked far worse than this if you had not been so wise as to buy good gear. Even though I have not considered wearing regular clothing because of a handful of comments that 'It is just...

    Squeaky brakes.

    Merci. I will keep this in mind for when my bike (potentially) develops this problem. Thank you very much for sharing what you were advised to do, and for you experience trying the process.

    Long-term review of the BMW CE 04 (The Suit & Tie Rocket Ship)

    I just joined the forum, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this review; as well as the replies. Thank you @triangletom for sharing your experience and perspective with us, regarding your CE04. I am also a Triangle resident, and I have also done some touring on my CE04; an impromptu trip to...

    CE 04 Tail Light Relocation

    That looks great; very well done. With the signals in that higher position, people driving behind you should be able to see you much better when you brake, or signal for a turn. This is an excellent idea; thank you for sharing this with us.

    The King Is Dead - Long Live The King!

    I am sad to see that you were in this wreck, and that your bike was damaged enough to be a write-off. As PedalMike stated, it is good to see that you wear good gear. I am assuming you do, seeing that you have a good helmet with a visibility paint scheme, and you chose to buy a Brake Free light...
