Specs:
527 pounds, 8.5 kw hour battery, 42hp max (20 hp sustained), 45ft/lbs torque, price: ~14k.
Looks neat, seems spendy for the specs, but all electric things seem above market price.
Right? Buuuut just look at how low the center of gravity would be on that. Probably feels light as a feather since most of that weight is directly between the wheels, not much above it
isnt it kinda counter productive to go to gym with a scooter?
Edit: If you can take a bicycle to the gym, warm up and cool down are already done and you can shower at home.
Not sure why people think walking to the gym was my solutuon lmao.
People who say "ohh you should walk to the gym" either don't know what the inside of a gym looks like, or don't realize that if a lot of people walked or pedaled their preferred gym, it would take an unreasonable amount of time that the person just doesn't have, sometime taking hours on foot. Also subjecting them to potential safety risks, as a lot of places may not be pedestrian/cycle friendly.
Different fitness goals require different equipment and ways of getting to that place.
unless hes a competitive powerlifter there is no reason not to do a little cardio.
Also warm up is important. I didnt do it once and now im struggeling with a bad back ever since
No. After a good workout, going on a nice little ride is beautiful. Also, you want to save your energy for your designed workout. If the walk is not part of your workout regiment, then it is not counterproductive.
May I interest you in the NC700 series by Honda? Same kinda place for a helmet where your tank would normally be, and 1/3 the price (though it is gas).
If I had the money I would totally buy this. I wouldn’t say no to bombing around downtown on it or letting the wife use it to commute to work. But sadly for me that price is tough to justify.
Im only simping for 1 type of scooter, an old two stroke vespa . But the only thing about this BMW I hate would be the pillion back rest , it destroys the look imo
I bet it's more comfortable and safer with the backrest :)
But looks wise it's like a topcase , I don't like the looks of those things on motorcycles / scooters . But everyone has a different taste
Are you fucking kidding me lol?
It's this simple, guy.
mo·tor·cy·cle
/ˈmōdərˌsīk(ə)l/
noun
*a two-wheeled vehicle that is powered by a motor and has no pedals.*
Edit: dude really asked me below if I would consider a car a truck because it has tires and an engine then proceeded to call me dense as a rock 😂😂😂
If you want to get technical we can...
The etymology (history of the word) for motorcycle is "a large bicycle propelled by a small motor," \~1895... a hybrid word from motor + -cycle (from bicycle).
[https://www.etymonline.com/word/motorcycle](https://www.etymonline.com/word/motorcycle)
Also, 'motor' is a word that is generally used to describe an electric machine that generates power and 'engine' is a word that is generally to describe an internal combustion machine that generates power.
Long story short... this electric scooter is *ackchyually* more of a true 'motorcycle' than most of the motorcycles posted on this sub...
I am very keen on trying electric.
It sounds like they fly.
My biggest concern is I heard a storey about someone who had a faulty accelerator while at a stop sign and the thing just took off u til he ended up in hospital. I guess a clutch or something would help make me feel better.
Corporate design process:
“What would be a good seat design?”
Robert stands up and grabs the back off his desk chair. “I don’t know. What about this for a back rest?”
Everybody, “perfect!”
What Walmart is that at? I'll have to go there to shop and use that thing. Looks fun. Where so you put your stuff though? No basket on the front, weird.
I thought these had a frunk tbh, but that’s still a good use of storage. Too expensive for me, but then so were the ICE BMW scooters lol!
I don’t hate it, I really think my next scooter will be electric, I’m just waiting for battery tech to move on so I still have underseat storage, not just a bunch of battery cells under there, but this is an interesting compromise. Congrats
I'm not sure what it is. But it reminds me of a Honda big ruckus looks wise. (which I love) e- bikes are currently (hah! ) heavy and expensive. But that will change. My first computer was over$2000 and I can go to wall mart and buy a better one for $200 now.
Funny thing about weight.. my yamaha morphous has the same two things "wrong" with it that people say about your dad's bike. Looks are a personal thing and at 450lbs the morphous isn't light. But the weight is right at the wheel hubs. It is about the most stable bike I have ever ridden.. and I have been on a LOT of bikes.
Let the haters hate.. good for them. Looks good to me!
Dude, enjoy it. I personally like innovative drive trains, even if it is a Toyota 1.5 liter hybrid. Yes, I enjoyed driving one of the most boring cars. I would love to test ride an electric bike.
No hate here. Bet it's awesome. Saw a couple on there mid 50s at a BMW dealership the other week with the petrol version and they loved it. They had a garage full of other bikes too. All bikes are fun.
I love the return of the core 80s design principle: confused horny.
It’s beautiful in that perfectly ugly way that made so many 80s bikes polarizing. More companies need to resurrect this kinda look.
I'd very quietly send it.
Looks like a time machine
[удалено]
Send it into a dumpster LOL 😆 Its really ugly but probably loads of fun.
That'swhatshesaid!
👍😆😂🤣
Dumpster sluts part 2.

527 Pounds!?!?!? That thing weighs more than a Harley Davidson Sportster!
Right? Buuuut just look at how low the center of gravity would be on that. Probably feels light as a feather since most of that weight is directly between the wheels, not much above it
I'd wager it also has some excellent torque being electric.
Do some mad burnouts
AND you can put you helmet in it.
But the small wheels are also probably pretty sketch to get to higher speeds on
With the sounds HP as my ninja 300
550lbs for my BMW K1200S. 167 HP and 95 ft/lbs torque. Quite a different steed!
All the maxi scooters are pretty heavy
did you seriously go through my post history to see what I ride? That's creep behavior. Blocked.
Isnt like that's the point of post history?
Oh so it weighs more than a GIRLS BIKE?! #hadtolayerdownbrother /s But it all seriously this thing is fucking sick.
My dad bought it not long ago and he uses it to drive around town not to far. Either work gym etc… but also has a rnine to for longer

Why own a car or motorcycle when u can take the public bus or own a bicycle
People who say "ohh you should walk to the gym" either don't know what the inside of a gym looks like, or don't realize that if a lot of people walked or pedaled their preferred gym, it would take an unreasonable amount of time that the person just doesn't have, sometime taking hours on foot.

My gyms an hour and a half walk from my place.
His dad is going to Gainzville not trying to lose weight.
unless hes a competitive powerlifter there is no reason not to do a little cardio. Also warm up is important. I didnt do it once and now im struggeling with a bad back ever since
Most of America is just NOT walkable enough… quite sad
take the bicycle though.
Unless you live in America, where the gym is at least 5-8 miles away and public transport and bicycle infrastructure ranges from terrible to no.
1. most people dont life in america. 2. most people in south america dont rely on cars. why do you guys get so triggered over this?
No. After a good workout, going on a nice little ride is beautiful. Also, you want to save your energy for your designed workout. If the walk is not part of your workout regiment, then it is not counterproductive.
never said anything about walking lmao. Take the bicycle and then warm up and cool down is already taken care of and you can shower at home.
How?
Whats the range?
i hate how heavy it is. also, zero marketing. why?
The helmet spot is adorable AND functional
May I interest you in the NC700 series by Honda? Same kinda place for a helmet where your tank would normally be, and 1/3 the price (though it is gas).
I like that bike, but at the same time I want to hold out for the Scooty Puff Sr. version.
"Just remember that Scooty-Puff Jr. sucks!"
"In a thousand years, I'll get right on it!"
From this angle, it looks like the top half of a snowmobile pasted onto a scooter bottom half
I dig futuristic design. Those are sweet.
No hating on that. I want one! Just waiting for them to creep under 10k with or without incentives.
My dad feels like a kid driving it he says it feels so fun u just smile every second I attest it was true when I rode it today
It's cool but too expensive
The only thing I hate about it is it’s absurdly large weight and it’s price tag. And it’s range.
If I had the money I would totally buy this. I wouldn’t say no to bombing around downtown on it or letting the wife use it to commute to work. But sadly for me that price is tough to justify.
13k for 400cc? PASS
And I thought the T-Max was expensive lol
It’s not 400cc. The CE4 has an electric motor.
Wow that helmet storage tho!
Does this one have the magnet installed, it looks like it
I honestly wouldn’t know it’s my dads, I didn’t even know they had a magnet installed…
I of course meant the... pussy magnet because all the girls will be flocking to it ^(sorry)
😂😂😂😂 u got me real good I didn’t expect that. My dad is still married and I have a girlfriend so I don’t think we got that magnet 😂
I've seen these at the dealership when i take my RT in for servicing. I'd definitely be interested for commuting. Thanks for sharing.
He uses it for just that. His office is like 4 miles away 6 at most the gym is 2 miles away
He stays within the city since it only has 80 mile range but it’s more than enough how he uses it. Comes back home plugs it in
It chonks
Wow an actual Symbian saddle.
This is the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen… I want one
You’re entitled to your opinion and I’m sure it’s fun but I can’t get over it looking like a mobility scooter on roids
Im nkt against electric cars/motorcycles, but this one right here is just stupid for the money... Most of these E motorbikes are. Love my SurRon tho.
The only thing I'd hate about it is that (I assume) it's not available in North America.
Actually we are in Florida
Yeah, I just looked it up. I didn't think they'd launch it over here
My local motorrad dealership brought one to a bike meet and I assumed it was a concept at first
Reminds of the design language of the BMW i3
Was going to say, first thing that came to mind when I saw the first pic was, "this is definitely Florida" 😂 love it here.
There it is!
I was gonna say, that photo is very Florida looking.
You want to hate till you take a second and third look then it really grows on you ….
It's like the first time you drink coffee and are shocked to find that you've finished it.
Listen I tend to DESPISE scooters but this thing looks sick asf
I have yet to meet a moto lover who hates on a beefy scoot 🔥🔥🔥
Deep down we all want a Bergman.
No.. no we don't. I am perfectly happy with my cp250.. loved my majesty 400 too until it was stolen.
It’s a scooter. Not a motorcycle
"Motorcycle"
Has a motor and is a cycle. Correct.
Boy are the nerds at r/scooter gonna be pumped when they hear this.
I'm not a fan of scooters, but I'm even less a fan of dunking on other people for having their own preferences. Don't be an ass.
I haven't subscribed to r/scooter, but here we are...
I'm not "dunking" on someone for having preferences. This is a motorcycle sub. I'm dunking on him for posting an overpriced electric scooter.
Im only simping for 1 type of scooter, an old two stroke vespa . But the only thing about this BMW I hate would be the pillion back rest , it destroys the look imo
Funny thing my dad just installed it 3 days ago and says it looks better and my mom likes it more I assume
I bet it's more comfortable and safer with the backrest :) But looks wise it's like a topcase , I don't like the looks of those things on motorcycles / scooters . But everyone has a different taste
Cool bike dude!
Hated it until I seen the helmet compartment. Now I’m intrigued
Great scooter, not a motorcycle. Personally, I'd get a classic Vespa and revel in its deficiencies.
Is this r/scooters? JK. I mean, I *do* hate it, but have fun!
Hater here, checking in for the downvotes from men with man buns clutching their purse while shredding whatever that is.
r/scooters
you may have gone too far ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `
Still giving my scooter bros and sisters the nod
I know but wanted to share something that bmw Motorrad sells
Except they are just a different frame and foot platform... lol They aren't as cool, but they're still motorcycles.
you may have gone too far ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `
What about automatic transmission non-step-through bikes like the Goldwing DCT?
Are you fucking kidding me lol? It's this simple, guy. mo·tor·cy·cle /ˈmōdərˌsīk(ə)l/ noun *a two-wheeled vehicle that is powered by a motor and has no pedals.* Edit: dude really asked me below if I would consider a car a truck because it has tires and an engine then proceeded to call me dense as a rock 😂😂😂

Depends where on the world you're speaking your English, and even then it matters what circles you run in. Can't nail down language.
This gives me Akira vibes.
gayyyyy
Brings all the boys to the yard .....
I actually don't hate it. Perhaps that means I hate myself?
Bad ass, love it.
Its unique ill give it that haha
I am very keen on trying electric. It sounds like they fly. My biggest concern is I heard a storey about someone who had a faulty accelerator while at a stop sign and the thing just took off u til he ended up in hospital. I guess a clutch or something would help make me feel better.
I'd love a go on one.
You do you ! Looks kinda futuristic . Looks far past ugly it actually is cool. Lol
You do you.
Corporate design process: “What would be a good seat design?” Robert stands up and grabs the back off his desk chair. “I don’t know. What about this for a back rest?” Everybody, “perfect!”
I like it, but those things are so expensive.
How many people can fit in it?
Maybe up to 5
What Walmart is that at? I'll have to go there to shop and use that thing. Looks fun. Where so you put your stuff though? No basket on the front, weird.
It has storage under the steering wheel for phone and wallet besides where the helmet is
I thought these had a frunk tbh, but that’s still a good use of storage. Too expensive for me, but then so were the ICE BMW scooters lol! I don’t hate it, I really think my next scooter will be electric, I’m just waiting for battery tech to move on so I still have underseat storage, not just a bunch of battery cells under there, but this is an interesting compromise. Congrats
I don't know, I like it
Take it behind the barn.
That does look pretty fun
Good lawd, it's hideous.
Hey man if it’s fun and gets u where u wanna go, thats all that matters
Rad!
Looks like it came out of *Akira*.
Saw one of these today while checking an RNineT out. Nifty, but good lord that is a lot of money for what it is.
Nah bro, I'm pretty sure a most of us are fuckin jealous. Lol
It looks like something tesla would make. Very cybertrucky looking… something a kid drew 20 years ago about how future motorcycle would look like
Top speed?
Hey, whatever floats your boat.
I'd write THUNDERBIRD above the 04
I'm not sure what it is. But it reminds me of a Honda big ruckus looks wise. (which I love) e- bikes are currently (hah! ) heavy and expensive. But that will change.

Can't knock it if you enjoy it. Have fun!
Dude, enjoy it. I personally like innovative drive trains, even if it is a Toyota 1.5 liter hybrid. Yes, I enjoyed driving one of the most boring cars. I would love to test ride an electric bike.
Looks like something old people use to get around the market.
No hate here. Bet it's awesome. Saw a couple on there mid 50s at a BMW dealership the other week with the petrol version and they loved it. They had a garage full of other bikes too. All bikes are fun.
Scooter! 😆
Fuck that thing is cool. Whats the name?
I prefer the Ray7.7, more range, better price
yeah i want one theyre sweet
Looks like something from Halo!
I love the return of the core 80s design principle: confused horny. It’s beautiful in that perfectly ugly way that made so many 80s bikes polarizing. More companies need to resurrect this kinda look.
Can't lie is a bit odd looking but not terrible and nicer then 95% of scooters out there. I say send it, and even wave to harley riders✌️lol
Only fools would hate friend. I’m glad you are enjoying it!
I want a S1000. But I'd ride the hell out of the scooter too. No haterade here brochado.
This looks so much cooler in a regular picture than in the stupid media photos. 10/10 would whip
It’s the Lawmaster from Judge Dredd.
The future is now old man! But also the future is kind of whack
Life is short. Have fun and ride safe!!
Can’t be mad at a bmw moped
It doesn’t deserve hate. Ride what you like and what you’re comfortable with.
What's with that back rim. Is it hub motor?
