Dude your writing the CE 04 book with your travels sounds exciting. I’ve been to many of those stops I used to live close to there. When you’re in Statesville detour to Lake Norman there’s a loop around the lake for a nice ride. Keep us posted what’s wrong with your front tire.

Ok thanks I’ll check it out. On one of my bikes you could not install the holder since the top was rounded so you had to use the spacers to keep the center from touching. I noticed the CE brake cover also has a rounded top.

What you guys are noticing is typical of electric motors, very high torque and power at low rpm which quickly tapers off at higher speeds. The exact opposite of a gas powered motor cycle or car. This is the reason plug in hybrids after 40-60 mph switch over to the gas engine since it’s more...
While charging to 80-90 % is a great idea for EVs with 250-300 miles it severely limits the CE. As most know there already is a buffer so you’re never fully charging or discharging the battery. Chargers like the Juice box allow charging to any level. If you do decide to short charge, every 5th...
Took a ride today and burnt about half the battery tooling around town - When I got home I used my JuiceBox level 2 wall unit and after it topped off the guess-o-meter came up with 92 miles and it still shows 92 miles some 6 hours later. Neverr seen above 80!
I was running only 30-40 mph and I...
Makes little sense why they would change the J1772 to NACS. Tesla is only one EV manufacture of dozens of others why not Tesla change their cars and charger network. anyhow it looks NACA will win out since GM and Ford said they are dumping J connectors. This will make every level 1 & 2 home...
Talking about guys eye-balling our CE 04 on our ride to Two Wheels, watch the second to last Harley guy pandering at our bike and runs off the shoulder. While I missed most of it Linda said he wobbled 3-4 good times on the shoulder than got it under back control...
Thanks for the reply Tom - yeah our little town is not EV friendly but we now have two level 2 chargers in Blairsville.
I'm pretty fortunate to live so close by Two Wheels, there's always something to look at. When i pulled in with the CE 04 those guys were looking at me like I was in a space...
Thanks great video -especially to see how easy a belt replacement is. He spent a lot time on brake pads, but it's doubtful if you'll ever have to change the original pads since there's enough regen to make full normal stops without using the service brake.
Anyhow good Stuff! Many Thanks
Mike
Thanks for all the replies - Guess What - Just for the hell of it I plugged my JuiceNet level 2 in like I did maybe a dozen times before and like magic it starts charging saving me a truck and trailer hospital visit 138 miles away.
By the way Tom many thanks for the parts page link (charger)...
Hey Tom thanks so much for sharing your great ride and images - you sort of blew all the electric bike and scooter critics out of the water.
Linda and I took an all day “One Charge” bike ride today to “Suches of Two Wheels” which is around 30 miles from my house. For those who never heard of...
Thanks for the reply- I Have not tried a public charger however my Juicebox has charged just about every EV built so I feel Something is broke. I even tried using the supplied charger with the level 2 pigtail plugged into 220 volts and get the same error yet it charges my EV6 and I4 fine.
Mike
Thanks again for the replies - looking forward to hanging out here again, been gone for a few years I found the forum when I bought my great looking 650.
Have a great and Safe Holiday - Mike
PS For some reason I don't get thread notifications - how do I subscribe to a thread
Thanks so much guys for the replies - I agree the Shad name is goofy looking. Regretfully while BMW did take into consideration that this is an electric bike and aerodynamics plays an important part, they did good in some areas yet others not so. The solid wheels and smaller diameter definitely...
Ron thanks for the reply I'm looking at this one from Revzilla is it larger than yours. I can easily see maybe 5 miles more range to push that air over the rider, rather than flat on our chest like an air brake. LOL
I'm also looking at a passenger back rest to keep her on the bike. I found...
