86 top indicated. My forza can do more than that.
Real, or on the speedo? We've seen that the figures shown on many scooter speedos are just fantasy. The mk4 Tmax could say 100 on the speedo but only 82 in reality! Its got 35bhp, which should be enough for a genuine 90.

Regarding Kymco input, that's a good question - I really haven't seen any mention of any involvement of any BMW 'Partner'.

Any one run a long range E Scooter from BMW ? The long range is meant to do 100 miles per charge , plus it looks lovely especially at night when the side panels glow green

MoreBikes' take on it (quite detailed review actually)

https://www.morebikes.co.uk/49661/launc ... bmw-c400x/

Some confusion on price - they think it'll be £6k + £1k for the 'Connectivity' option. Puzzled that a 35bhp scoot only gets to an indicated 86 - I'd expect a genuine 90, or rather more on the speedo.

Made in China by Loncin it seems, so it looks as if there isn't any Kymco DNA in it.

I think this thread needs a picture, just so you can see how spectacularly rank this thing looks:

Truly a face that only a mother could love - the six grand Loncin :lol: You couldn't make it up.

Frankly, that has failed to enhance our enjoyment......
That is a particularly awful pic of an ugly scoot!

Personally I like it; but then I like ugly. I just wouldn't fancy the service costs of BMW.
