I've been using the CE 04 to work every day, and it's been great. I just charge it every few days for a short time. Not having to buy gas is really a HUGE PLUS. The CE 04 is different from my other bikes, and they cant be compared. It feels like flying to me lol.Turning and speeding up is always enjoyable, and leaving everyone at the lights makes me love it more. I would choose it above any gas bike in the city. My commute is 10 miles each way, highway and city. I was concerned about the lack of engine noise, but its not an issue after all....
