The aerodynamics side with the 04 seems so far under considered, excepting insofar as people are noting that it definitely has quite a big part to play in increasing range. To this end, it would be great if we saw some larger, more aerodynamic screens being developed. I come from an airhead (BMW...

They are chalk and cheese different, but both do it for me in different ways. Yes, range is a thing, but with the 04 I can focus just on the ride experience, handling, choosing the line and so forth, without other shenanigans. OTOH I have been riding motorcycles since the late 1970s and playing...

An interesting idea. My first thought, though, is to wonder whether it might interfere with any battery management software/system that is in place? Needs more thought…

Engine? Not sure what you mean?

Good to see a statistical analysis completed! The discrepancy between the computer and the odometer is interesting and I guess a final step would be to verify the odo against some other measuring tool – maybe a GPS or mobile app to see if they correlate? Otherwise your figures do seem to...

I’m anti-Zuck, so no FB fo me, alas… The ‘04 seems to calculate predicted range based on past performance. I notice this on a ride where on a long downhill with regen in play, the range shown can actually begin to increase. I also suspect that from ride to ride, so-to-speak, the ‘04 computer is...

I have about 1k miles on my ‘04 now. Getting a map up on screen is still a bit of a challenge, but can be done. It’s all about the app, really. First thing is to realise that you have to connect your mobile phone with the display. Then the app has to be left open on screen and you can’t lock...

This thread also covers this question in some depth: Thread 'Cable for uk BMW CE04 fitted with the fast charger.' https://www.bmw-scooters.com/threads/cable-for-uk-bmw-ce04-fitted-with-the-fast-charger.3545/

Scary biscuits… Not sure I ever want to see miles-to-charge get that low!

Nice. The flat bench seat is probably a good move… Enjoy!

Yes – the quick charger is a must, imho. As an example I was out last weekend about 45 miles from home and on the return I got a boost adding about 20 miles or so range, enabling me to get home with a bit of juice to spare. Took less time than I could drink a coffee. Without the quick charger –...

Here’s what BMW Motorrad UK say on their CE 04 pages: https://www.bmw-motorrad.co.uk/en/models/urban_mobility/ce04/range-and-charging.html#/section-fast-simple-and-flexible Cables with up to 7.4 kW charging power: 1-phase, 32 amps, 2.35 kg in weight. Recommended in countries with mainly...

Yes. The three phase cable has two extra live wires in the lead and two extra live connections in the plug providing higher power capacity and better efficiency. The cable is a bit thicker/heavier (not by much, really), but worth it for a faster charge when out and about.

I use the ZapMap app to locate chargers here in the UK and filter usually to 11 and 22kw. A lot of the 7kw chargers out there only seem to give around 3, which is a bit slow. To get the benefit from these higher wattage chargers (and assuming you have the quick charger onboard), make sure you...

Not ‘pack-flat’ at all…

UK based. I have one of these: https://evcables.com/products/three-phase-type-2-to-type-2-ev-charging-cable?_pos=1&_fid=3d84fc590&_ss=c&variant=42157088112890 Type 2 Untethered Mode 3. Three phase 16 or 32 Amp Charging Cable. Motorrad say this on their site: • “Cables with up to 22 kW...

Post up a pic, when you’ve done the deed!

That’s really interesting. I find the stock bars are too high and have me leaning backwards all the time…

Congrats and enjoy! They are great machines…

I believe there is a reference to this possibility in the owners handbook, but I have not been able to find it anywhere in the sub-menus on the bike itself. Manufacturers don’t seem to be interested in battery longevity, but whenever I read something about maintaining battery health the sweet...
