Do you like your CE?

[ghostrider4]

Do you still own one, ride it much? Best features (say three) and least favorite (3). Not having ridden one yet, I will take a guess.
1. Speed, way fast
2. Silent ride
3. Not ICE

Not great
1. Battery range
2. Ease of moving around at low speed due to length
3. Cost of CE and related accessories

Not listed above though guessing comfort seat is not great for long distance riding. Possible some purchased the CE then later felt it was not a good fit then sold them.

Hello here are my thought on my experience so far (pick it up in March got 2K kilometres done)
the good things
1. How much it cost to charge it; Great.
2. Dynamic mode Ho boy a blast must be careful with speed limit in the city.
3. No heat from the engine when stuck in trafic ( I do mostly city riding )
4. Ease of moving around it's actually so well balance it's easier compare to my 650cc from before to go around in trafic.
5. Since here we pay our licenses every year per size of engine I'm paying 200.00$ less per year 400cc compare to 650cc

Not so great but viable
1. The seat it feel like you are seating on a Iron board (I will check in France for a custom one in August)
2. To deal with a BMW dealer or BMW for any technicals questions.
3. For accessory I recommend strongly to shop on European site like MotoBlouz for after market (they sold already at least 3000 CE04 in France only) the market is there no here.
4. no feeling driving at slow speed 30kmh but I get use to it.

Voilà
Cheers
Yves

"...seating on a Iron board..."
lol, I think I will feel your thoughts if I buy one tomorrow. Maybe bmw has a sense of humor calling their 'comfort' seat comfortable. Sort of like the stock seat that came on the base R18 bike...beyond bad was mostly what I heard.

I love mine
Good:
cost of charging
fast
suspension (compared to other scooters with a heavy engine on the rear wheel)
no heat, vibration
reverse!
cheap insurance
Bad:
rear lights too low for drivers to see
storage
features a bit complicated or embedded in menus
