BMW pulls plug on US motorcycle sales, axing nearly all models except e-bikes?

BMW stops selling all its motorcycles in US except for electric motorcycles
SHARE

BMW Motorrad has issued a “cease and desist” order for all internal combustion engine motorcycles in the US market. The discovery showcases a curated selection of new and pre-owned fashion items, highlighting the BMW CE 04, an electric motorcycle still available for purchase through the company’s authorized dealerships.

The notorious gas system issue plaguing multiple generations of BMW motorcycles, with its roots traced back to the widespread recall affecting various model years, creating a challenge for riders and mechanics alike.

The BMW CE 04 is currently the sole electric model available from the company in North America. While boasting a 31 kW (42 hp) engine, this 31 kW (42 hp) bike is uniquely classified as a maxi-scooter due to its sleek, futuristic appearance, deviating from the traditional, step-through design characteristic of most everyday scooters. The company began production around two years ago, a time when the US electric scooter market lacked viable competition for its high-performance offerings, capable of reaching speeds of up to 75 mph (121 km/h). While several successful electric scooters are now vying for attention, none quite rival BMW’s exceptional design prowess.

The CE 04 is set to be followed soon by BMW’s upcoming electric motorcycle, the CE 02, which will initially only be available at North American dealerships.

BMW dispatches internal memo to US dealerships, revealing further details regarding ongoing uncertainty surrounding its internal combustion engine models, which were recently highlighted by WebBikeWorld.

BMW has temporarily suspended sales of its internal combustion engine motorcycles, characterizing the move as a short-term measure without providing a specific timeline for reinstatement. The discovery was made voluntarily, meaning the corporation was under no obligation to halt sales at this time, but chose to take action of its own accord.

Electrek’s Take

While certain details remain unclear, it appears that BMW may be facing an issue with emissions compliance due to flawed production processes. The fact that BMW dismisses this issue as non-security related is telling.

If accurate, it would hardly be the first instance where an environmental crisis has beset a prominent German car manufacturer. While some may argue that American companies are exempt from these concerns, the truth is that they too have their share of environmental issues.

Despite apparent diversification, a common denominator among these entities seems to be their reliance on vehicles powered by fossil fuels and internal combustion engines. While comparable to traditional vehicles in terms of emissions, electric cars boast a simplified, cleaner, and safer power supply that not only mitigates these concerns but also saves countless lives by significantly reducing airborne particulates, carcinogens, and greenhouse gas emissions, thereby creating a healthier environment for all.

Certain, there’s a battery-powered fireplace nearby. Despite disproportionate scrutiny from some media outlets, a significant surge in automobile fires is largely attributed to the widespread use of gasoline-powered vehicles and motorcycles.

BMW appears to be taking the most prudent approach despite all circumstances by issuing a cease sale on internal combustion engines. The simplicity of this approach would mean that they wouldn’t have to worry about the nuances of different time frames.

This six-speed manual transmission masterpiece is the perfect blend of performance and style. With a mere 24 miles on the odometer, this gleaming roadster had already stolen my heart – and my senses.
