- BMW produce some pretty awesome motorcycles and just recently I tested the EV Scooter, namely the CE-04, an awesome piece of engineering. However it has a few limitations and this is why I asked BMW if I could test this stunning looking GT Scooter.
Now I was very pleasantly surprised and all I can add here is that this is a cross-over between a motorbike and a scooter. I say this as this little thing really surprised me and has Italian design flair, German build quality and practicality of note.

Yes, I had one about 2 years ago. It was very comfortable, great gas mileage. I would take longer rides and never got tired or sore. I’ve had two motorcycles since, a Royal Enfield and currently a Triumph. I’m considering going back to the C400GT. I only wish it had cruise control, that would complete the package a 100% imho.
Spot on review. Once you add a BMW top box and inner bag, it is much more usable as the underseat storage is too small to carry a decent bag on the move. I love this scooter as an everyday commuter as it has excellent weather protection, and with the heated seat and grips and the optional scooter canopy to cover your legs, it is really comfortable. The low centre of gravity makes it easy to ride at slow speeds, and the headlights are the best headlights I have ever had on a vehicle. The leg room is much better on this model than the C400X, as is the seat backrest. If you are over 6 feet tall, I recommend you get the 50mm higher windscreen, and it makes the wind protection even better and the best I have experienced.
I have the c400x se in uk , first class machine bought from new ex demo with spots crash bars rack and BMW badge box all fitted by them prior to purchase , I’ve had all the big bikes tdm 850 etc , this is the way forward by a long way faultless , get it
Really nice to see this video. It was kinda an unfair release back in 2019. ( yeh know that virus thingy). As they released it we all went into lock down.
But because of that I was able to pick up a peach 🍑 of a deal here in U.K. Got an ex BMW mechanic personal bike with 1000 miles for good price in triple
Black.
I have also had all kinds of bikes. Soortsbikes. Adv. Triumph Rocket 🚀. Harleys. And now at 52 the idea of twist and go is great. Im no little guy either 120kg 6 foot. But the bike takes me and my tiny Mrs 😂.
I agree an extra 50cc or 100cc wouldn’t go amiss. But at 350cc you dont actually need more! I wonder if anyone has done aftermarket tuning on these. I personally prefer stock. There are Malossi parts you can get too.
But yes great bike. The only 2 unfortunate things is under seat storage ( on the move). And that BMW charges £600 for a 30litre top box and kit. You can get Shad kits for pess than half that and bigger and better. So sadly that doesn’t make sense.
But yes essentially you have a Kymco 350cc engine which has been around ages.
I jump when I see ither C400GTs out and about. Ride safe. Greetings “sunny U.K. “
@@countbasingstoke awesome and thank you for your comments 🙏 thanx and safe happy riding for you too 🥳
Awesome review on our SA roads. I'm about to pull the trigger on this or the Xmax 300. What are your thoughts on the Xmax?
They should have made it look like the CE04 Just ICE edition. This thing doesn't appeal to me like the CE04. maybe next time BMW
Is the Voge SR4 Max available in your country as its damn as near the same bike for quite a bit less outlay.
No not that I am aware of…….
@@route21garage Worth looking into if your smitten by the C400. The Max isn't available here in the UK so I'll be picking up a C400 myself shortly.
Thank you. Yes I will do as I’ve googled it and looks identical 👍🏻
@@route21garage Your welcome.
Unless there has been updates to it, the differences I know of are is a parking brake & touch down on power. There may also be a lack of DRL's.
BTW good review, keep the good work & keep us updated.
@@omerta2002 thank you so much 👍🏻🙏
