As always a super comprehensive review, your channel deserves more views. These CE models are very clever designs but they are far too expensive compared to petrol bikes, especially if they are aimed at the younger demographic. I don’t know how many CE 02’s have been sold in the UK but I believe the more powerful CE 04 has only sold @ 180 in the UK since its launch. If I lived in a City and wanted an electric bike, neither of which apply, I think I’d prefer the British built Maeving. If you have never heard of this bike look it up, the 7kW RM1S is £7,495 which compares to the 4kW CE 02 at £7,450 or £8,450 for the 11kW CE 02 model. All much more expensive than comparable petrol bikes although Maeving do a 3kW model for about £5 grand which is getting there on price although it’s another £1,000 for the dual battery which doubles your range to 80 miles 🇬🇧
@@stewy62 thank you so much 🙏 I do agree with you that the technology at the moment is prohibitively expensive, so in a way it makes no sense aiming it at the youngsters …….
Always a good review from yourself, but as you say those 3 minors I’d argue are pretty significant minors, if BMW wanted to embrace a younger market, then they need to reflect that in the pricing…for what’s it is its shockingly expensive.
