I joined the broken rear signal club today! I mounted a 2x2cycles bicycle rack onto the CE 04 as low down and close to the seat as possible, but the 1" of clearance I gave the signal light wasn't enough once you sat on the bike - as the seat lowers with shock compression. Had I looked at this...

It turned out to be pretty simple to do. Remove front panel over headlights by pulling downward. Unscrew ODB2 cable from it's holder: Plug in the ODBLink LX: Follow the instructions for setting it up on your phone, then fire up Motoscan ($28 for the "Professional" version) to update the...

In the interest of erring toward a safety inspection (something the US doesn't do), I opted for the 600mi running-in service, albeit at 900 miles. Here's what seems to be involved: - Changing the final drive oil & gaskets (07119963252) - Verifying chain tension - Verifying coolant - Checking...

Is it icon #2 in this diagram by any chance? If so, that's normal: it's just the CE 04 letting you know that you can't rely on energy recovery (regeration) when the battery is full. The light will go away once there is room in the battery to accept the recovery charge. I'm not sure where that...

Wunderlich USA expects to have these skirts listed and in-stock in about 8 weeks.

Thankfully, BMW saw fit to equip the CE 04 with TPMS! It seems bizarre that since 2006, the law in the United States has required every car and truck to be equipped with TPMS, but there doesn't seem to be any such requirement for two-wheeled vehicles. I've had the bike for only seven weeks so I...

Thanks for the confirmation! After reading this, I just ordered an ODBLink LX to reset the initial break-in service reminder. What Bluetooth adapter are you using?

The first reasonable-looking rain skirt for the CE 04 is now available, thanks to Wunderlich. It doesn't show up in the US store yet, but you can find it at https://www.wunderlich.de/shop/en/leg-protection-cover-ce-04-45302-002.html If anyone gets their hands on one I'd love to hear how well...

While riding the CE 04 yesterday, my navigation instructions got covered up with this huge message: While the giant pop-up was easily dismissed, the orange triangle light will annoy me forever. I'm used to BMW having this initial break-in maintenance window for gas-burning vehicles, for...

TL;DR: Determining the maximum range of the BMW CE-04 is complicated but is fundamentally determined by your average travel speed and the weather. This data was collected in November and December in North Carolina, and is heavily skewed toward fall and winter weather and long windy country...

TL;DR: If it's near or below freezing and you see the Turtle icon on the dash, don't fret. Now that I have several cold rides under my belt, it seems like the Turtle icon normally comes on when it's freezing. I suppose it's BMW's way of letting you know you won't get all the torque you want out...

Just as an update here: I've yet to make this work. The Jackery 1000 has an empty plastic slot where the grounding pin of a 120V power plug would normally go. Both the Tesla and BMW mobile charging adapters detect the lack of ground and refuse to do anything. I've tried using a portable GFCI...

Hey Felipearango! I don't know if the manual is very precise here - this warning will come up whenever you charge the bike to 100%. This is the scooter's way of letting you know that the regenerative braking won't occur because there isn't enough room on the battery to charge, so you may need...

According to https://www.ascycles.com/bmw/2021/CE04/Lights/Multifunctional%20turn%20signals.html#PartsTable it's #63 23 7 924 982 - $119US. AS Cycles is a trustworthy sight for doing these parts lookups within the US. It's worth noting that the tail lights used by the CE-04 is shared among many...

@Laurie - I'm not aware of any sort of extra cord offered with the CE-04 in the US. It comes with the slow (but almost always fast enough for the battery size) 110V charger. BMW does sell some fancier dual-voltage (110V/220V) faster chargers with their cars - there is no reason you couldn't use...

@Laurie - You'll be glad to hear that every CE-04 comes with Level-2 charging support, which is not the case with every Zero. Level-1 and Level-2 charging uses the same plug-type (J1772). It's worth noting that the plug for home use that BMW ships in the United States is only setup for 15A 110V...

The easy answer is that if it can natively plug into the BMW CE-04, it's compatible. The BMW CE-04 accepts a J1772 plug, and every Chargepoint charger I've seen has had J1772 plugs available. That doesn't mean it's guaranteed at every station with a Chargepoint sign, though - I see on their...

Great question! Not that I'm aware of, particularly in the US. I haven't seen any mention on the Euro forums ither. In the US, The automobile side of BMW does offer complimentary charging on the Electrify America, but the EA chargers won't work with the CE-04 anyways, as they are all DC-based...

I received a Jackery 1000, but so far no luck: both the BMW charger and the Tesla charger detect a fault, even before I plug it into the scoot. After reading through the manuals, I think this is because, unknown to me at ordering time, the Jackery 1000 does not have an actual grounding pin...
