Rider Profile

Best ForSuits new riders and licensed commuters alike, since the single-speed automatic delivery and predictable torque make it very approachable regardless of experience.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a premium urban commuting scooter for quiet, low-maintenance city transport rather than performance riding.
Rider FitThe low seat height, flat floorboard, and light steering effort make it easy to manage for riders of varying size and strength, though its 231 kg weight requires some care at a standstill.
CharacterA futuristic, tech-forward electric scooter that prioritizes smooth, silent, torquey acceleration from a stop and effortless stop-and-go city riding.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting highway touring range, spirited cornering, or any kind of off-road capability.

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2023 BMW CE 04, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
