BMW Introduces E-Bike With 186-Mile Range, 37 MPH Speed

The range is nice, but the speed is unconscionable. This should be nipped in the bud.

I quite like this part:

Why would BMW create a bike that makes it possible to go illegally fast? According to the press release, it wants to "start a conversation."

"This vehicle occupies the space between a bicycle and a light motorcycle and allows our customers to decide for themselves which roads or routes they want to travel on through an urban area," said Werner Haumayr, vice president of BMW Group Design Conception. "They have all the flexibility possible, at the same time as turning the pedals and keeping themselves fit. The modes and clever route selection are intended to make it one of the fastest travel options through a city.”

Seems like they think the 15.5mph limit is BS too

I think BMW said they'd done it to "begin a conversation" ..

From where we are at the moment though, all it does it alienate and create bad press.

I'd be surprised to see anything except nonsense from the bunch of wankers at "treehugger.com."

Love an article that starts with a line about fact checking yet contains factual inaccuracies!

GPS ring fencing is definitely happening, our local rental scooters know where they are and shut off or slow down accordingly, my car tells the manufacturer where it is so I can see it in the brands app, it has no connection to my phone so has an independent connection.

My Kiox wants to connect to my phone to give me a map of where I’ve ridden, I can live without that feature.

A lot of the women @BAMBAMODA meets are ring fenced. If you don't take them to the correct restaurant they just don't work correctly.

"Why would BMW create a bike that makes it possible to go illegally fast? For the same reasons they make cars and motorcycles that can go illegally fast. Doh

 

[MrSimmo]

Fucking hippies. There are cars that can do >200mph, doesnt mean to say people drive them at that speed. If people dont innovate we’d all be still living in caves.

You mean fenced in at real prisons, or in his make-shift basement enclosure?

I suspect they are ring-fenced so that an alarm goes off if he gets too close to them.

If they allow you to select the speed why wouldnt they allow you to select ring fencing or not.
BTW i thought there was some movement towards raising the UK class 1 speed assist limit? Maybe if i was commuting in a city id want to have a higher assist speed but the 32kph has been .ore than enough for 95% of my riding

"2,000 watt-hour battery" so about 90 miles of range then, not 186

It’s a bracelet ok aholes I have to wear it and it beeps if I am with in 200 meters of any of the women I used to date. You guys are not helping my therapy ya know.

Wouldn't it be more helpful if they wore the bracelets and it beeped for them if you were within 200 meters ? Though in fairness, they'd probably have smelt your aftershave at 300 meters, so maybe it's unnecessary ?

Good question. Ask your mom what she thinks. ? son….

I'm scared to.. it might re-kindle old passions. Years of bleach still haven't removed your overpowering pheromones - anything could happen.
