像许多摩托车骑手一样,踏板车是我最初进入两轮电动旅行世界的世界。当我对小学时代的摩托车着迷时,他们在我的家人中严格禁止他们(危险!易燃!被罪犯骑行!)。当我18岁时,我能够说服我的乡亲,如果我有一个无礼,高效,无威胁scooter,我不需要购买自己的汽车,不需要使用/崩溃他们的汽车,或者让他们开车送我任何地方。以后再。也许。

It worked, even though I had to buy the scooter with my own minimum-wage earnings. But at least, finally, I had taken a major step toward owning a Real Bike… someday (or approximately six months later, and in secret). It’s a story many motorcycle riders and ADVrider.com denizens likely share to some degree. Few new riders get their start on GS or SuperTen machines.

Now, following the announcement that the upcomingBMW CE 04 electric scooter is due out soon and will come statesideat some point (depending on covid delays, chip shortages, etc.), BMW is showing aseconde-scoot, the BMW Motorrad Concept CE 02, which is a “concept” for now, but we’ll see how that pans out after it gets more exposure at the upcomingIAA移动性2021会议,重点关注CE 02和其他电动汽车等电子动力工具。

BMW is plainly investigating going after the newly minted driver/youth market with the CE 02, saying in a press release that the clumsily named rig “clearly appeals to a new target group: people aged 16 and over, who have not ridden a motorbike before but are open to new experiences, smart technology and, above all, combining mobility with fun.” I do seem to recall that while my old Honda scooter was deathly slow, it was still fun, so here’s hoping.

从技术方面,CE 02具有一些不错的踏板车号码。11,000瓦的驱动电动机转化为15马力的驾驶15英寸盘式车轮,以及可能像往常一样用于电气架的粗壮的未指定的弹药。没有暗示电池统计数据。最高速度约为90 kmh/55mph,电荷的费用约为90公里/55英里,但可能不以55mph的速度以55mph的速度。驱动是通过齿状皮带,后端几乎由卡通式的单修子固定。显然,CE 02将是一种城市快车。说出名字……好吧,没关系.

像这样的数字将CE 02清楚地放入了Mini-Moto班,与本田Grom,Kawi Z125 Pro和其他仅城市的有趣机器(电动机蛋糕阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合症+想到),但是您在晚上将其插入,而不是加油。宝马还说,CE 02的建造很坚固:“它只是有效的 - 即使您偶尔不尽可能仔细地对待它。”而且,有了无尽的定制选项,包括贴纸,磁带和东西(不,真的),这是一个少年定制器完美的第一空画布。还有一个专门的空间,可以在“坦克”部分上拖一条滑板和皮带,用于握住外卖等。

BMW also says the CE 02 could have its own line of fashionable rider wear. “Two jackets inspired by contemporary trends indicate a whole range of new possibilities for both functional and fashionable clothing with innovative materials and processing techniques.” That apparently includestransparentmaterials as well as some user-customizable options.

是的,CE 02在这一点上是一个“概念”,宝马通过说机器“既不是经典的摩托车也不是踏板车,这是一种令人兴奋且高度情感上的流动性。”好吧,宝马,但看起来像踏板车。宝马显然对CE 02“新骑手”的想法进行了很多思考,因为它触及了整个摩托车行业中的普通哀叹:在一个有电话的世界中,它在各个转弯处都有运输选择,新摩托车在哪里(和踏板车)车手会来自吗?

Today, tech-savvy young people have myriad options for getting around that many of us never did: Uber and Lyft, car sharing, motorcycle sharing, ebikes, eskateboards, rentable urban electric scooters, and ever-improving mass transit. Who needs to own motorcycles (or cars) any more? Not many people, and if you’ve travelled abroad, you certainly recognize the巨大的踏板车在其他国家的利用和受欢迎程度。便宜,无威胁,通常可靠,是的,fun, scootersmove billions of peoplearound the globe every day. Make it electric and you’ve got a possible advantage in terms of both operating costs and performance numbers, as well as reduced maintenance costs and simplicity. The era of the scooter has arrived – in many places.

In countries where scooters and motorcycles are still seen as leisure and recreational vehicles, there will always be a percentage of riders for whom the scooter is a stepping stone to a motorcycle. The scooter is and always has beenthe gateway drug到更大的自行车。宝马肯定会在寻找未来的GS和其他机器的购买者时吠叫正确的树。

What do you think of the BMW CE 02? Would you let your kid ride it? Was your first ride a scooter? Which one? Do you own a scooter now? Why? Let us know in comments after these CE 02 images from BMW.
