Totally cool. Agree with you about all your impressions. Based on the stunt riding in your background video, I would say it is possible the rear foot pegs also act like a wheelie peg. Trick step. Which clearly the person in the crowd at 1 point was almost tricked over. lol Not sure I would want to be in the same arena as the rider, considering how new it is. Not likely got it mastered to the point it is safe for on lookers. Would I pay 9K for the Highline? Between those 2 trims, if I wanted one, I would. Would like to know the load weight capacity of it. Thanks for the introduction to it.

I thought it was freaking hilarious that in the first minute and 30 seconds of their demo video they were showing out they could do a skid. That was a pretty cool trick when I was in second grade.

Great review. i want to test ride this motorcycle. Greetings from Woodinville WA

Since as a general rule, a naturally aspirated combustion engine will lose 3% of its power for every 1,000 ft of elevation; higher altitude operators can really benefit. Another consideration is storability, in contrast of carburetor corrosion the battery pack and motor can be stored nearly indefinitely without significant degradation a real plus. The simple charger set up is ideal for charging from a micro inverter with an inexpensive solar array so it addresses a lot of concerns regarding the current state of world affairs on civilians. It's really stripped down basic leaving plenty of modification possibilities. Quite frankly, fully dressing it would be really fun.

This is exactly what I mean by easy and clean. I am now leaning more toward an e-motorcycle instead of a Honda.

I am getting one.

It's a scooter bike. I like them. I'm in Thailand. It's way too expensive here. The shove from standing is impressive. The range is enough for me. I think there will be a few on the secondhand market here in a year. I like the base model. Shame you can't just add the third riding mode.

I've had the CE-04 now for just over a year and love it. This seems pretty great too, but a 3.9 kWh battery will never really do 55 miles. 30 to 35 will be real world. That is probably still ok for many.

Charged it up Sunday night, and Monday evening was going to ride to the store, and it wouldn't power up. I'm very disappointed, and will never buy another electric bike. Before the three year warranty runs out, I will be trading it in for a Yamaha XMax which was my first scooter, and never had any issues the four years I owned it. I can't and won't recommend the CE-04 to anyone. U can get a XMAX 300 for 6k less and have a 💯 more dependable and reliable bike. I don't see the CE-04 being around long term.

I have a Volvo PHEV with about 40 miles of electric range and I almost never use gas except for road-trips. My biggest concern with electric scooters/motorcycles is how do I store them in the winter if I can't remove the battery? I live in MN and it gets damn cold in my detached garage. I completely understand your issues with maintenance. I eliminated my gas lawnmower and lawn equipment for that same reason.

@@ScoobyFermentation I am thinking about a Honda Grom or a Royal Enfield Classic. By the way, It seems that weather is the biggest issue when it comes to any vehicle.

When they come back, they don’t understand why it doesn’t start. It’s a pain to clean the whole fuel system out.

I have a CE-04, and regret it. After three months of ownership, it won't power up. Never had a problem with my Yamaha bikes. U live and learn I guess. I would not recommend any BMW electric

Came into the comments to count the numbers of guys saying, “Too expensive. Too little range.”.

You wanna spend 9k on a scooter, buy a Vespa 300. Or for less than 1/2 the price, $4k buy a Honda monkey or ct125.

Is it me or the handle bars look too high

The problem with this, and really all electric motorcycles, is for 1/3 to 1/2 the cost I could get similar performance with four times the range and none of the charging issues. I just can't see there being a huge market for this.

Perfect for Rural America, freaking useless in more transit heavy, cities. The CE-04 is freaking awesome as hell whereas this is a niche bike. Perhaps you can think about this bike as a commuter to work? Rural America as in cars are viewed as gospel and every other mode of transportation is homosexual somehow but with low population density. Perhaps take it to a "park and ride" where you use a bus/train to get to the big city. Maybe a household member already has a car or a CE-04 so you might want to just have something to commute to work. Great bike, won't fulfill too many people's needs.

I don't know what they're thinking, riders can pick up an e-bike for so cheap (some as low as like $1k) or build your own for even cheaper. Why would anyone buy one of these unless there's really strict anti e-bike laws where they live?

Terrible range! 50 miles, real life is probably lower.

Electrical ”motorbikes” are all just sewing machines with two wheels. No experience of an internal combustion engine and the vibrations in the chassi from the ICE, no manual gears, no exhaust system, just a irritating electric engine noise. I will never ride an electric sewing machine with two wheels, whether it called electric ”motorcycle” or not. Also the electricity is often produced using fossil fuels, e.g. coal power plants. Br. Ps. The only exception, perhaps, being a scooter for commuting shorter distances, maybe I could try this. Take care! Br.

Who the f would buy a bike for people to walk and ask about it? 50 miles per charge what the fkin hell?! It's bullshit for 10 thousand dollars
