But that hasn't stopped us tipping our hats to BMW. The Bavarian brand, usually not big on eloquence, is calling it a \u201c<em>silent revolution<\/em>\u201d. And they could well be right. With its cutting-edge design (that\u2019s right, we said it) and innovative connectivity solutions, the CE\u00a004 is above all desirable. At last an electric two-wheeler you\u2019d buy for its bodywork as well as its environmental virtues.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The new BMW CE 04 \u2013 Powerful and Energetic\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3VRmsR-SsRs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Talk about hot stuff... With its flat profile tandem saddle, its sharp lines, its disc wheels and its mini orange windscreen, you have to admit it impresses. Even its kickstand is stylish! Perfectly in sync with the times, the CE\u00a004 comes fitted as standard with a 10.25-inch TFT colour screen with integrated map navigation and connectivity. Positioned at a convenient level, the screen is a welcome replacement for the usual smartphone precariously attached to the handlebars.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-111728 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/en\/so-barnes-en\/the-bmw-scooter-that-will-have-you-raring-to-green\/attachment\/p90428691-highres-copie\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/P90428691-highRes-copie-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/P90428691-highRes-copie-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/P90428691-highRes-copie-130x130.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>So what about the motor? With a maximum output of 31\u00a0kW (42\u00a0hp), the CE\u00a004 goes from 0 to 50\u00a0km\/h (31\u00a0mph) in just 2.6\u00a0seconds. Not easy to catch up with between two traffic lights, that\u2019s for sure. Its top speed is limited to 120 km\/h (75 mph), allowing you to easily head out of the city, even though it remains best suited to urban use. In terms of battery capacity, BMW has announced an estimated range of 130\u00a0km (80\u00a0miles) and a charge time from flat of 4 hours and 20 minutes. Or just 1 hour and 40 minutes with the quick charger available as an optional extra.<\/p>\n<p>And, of course, this new-age scooter comes with ABS. As well as three riding modes (\u201cECO\u201d, \u201cRain\u201d and \u201cRoad\u201d) to adapt to all driving conditions. It also has anti-skid control and traction control for stability, even when you accelerate hard out of a corner (which SoBARNES wouldn't recommend nonetheless).<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-111728 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/en\/so-barnes-en\/the-bmw-scooter-that-will-have-you-raring-to-green\/attachment\/p90428737-lowres\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/P90428737-lowRes-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/P90428737-lowRes-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/P90428737-lowRes-130x130.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/en\/so-barnes-en\/the-bmw-scooter-that-will-have-you-raring-to-green\/attachment\/p90428728-lowres\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/P90428728-lowRes-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/P90428728-lowRes-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/P90428728-lowRes-130x130.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/en\/so-barnes-en\/the-bmw-scooter-that-will-have-you-raring-to-green\/attachment\/p90428734-lowres\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/P90428734-lowRes-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/P90428734-lowRes-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/P90428734-lowRes-130x130.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Like all self-respecting scooters, the CE\u00a004 has a variety of storage compartments, including a side helmet compartment and a mobile phone charging compartment with USB-C charging port and ventilation. The successor of its older brother the C-Evolution, a best seller as of its launch in 2014 and which the new model outstrips on all fronts, it is nevertheless less costly, with a price-tag of \u20ac12,150 (\u00a311,700). The target market? Bikers, given that you need an A2 licence (*) to take on this bad boy and its wind-in-your-hair performances. And we\u2019re sure they won't be disappointed. So, is the CE\u00a004 truly a silent revolution? Yes. But its arrival is certainly sure to make a noise.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:laurent@sobarnes.com\">laurent@sobarnes.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>(*) A CE 04 limited to 23\u00a0kW (31\u00a0hp), accessible to holders of an A1 licence, is available for the same price, \u20ac12,150 (\u00a311,700).
