No speeding. No wheelies. But a heck of a lot of fun.

The brilliant BMW CE 02 recharges from a household socket.

You can pop a second battery under the seat to double the range.

How much is it? £7,450.

Which makes it the cheapest BMW I’ve ever tried and not far off the price of a rail season ticket.

As you’d expect from BMW, this bike feels substantial and classy and cool. You can ride it on a car licence.

You can ride it two-up.

You’ll get everywhere on time.

BMW Motorrad also does a more powerful version with the two batteries as standard and a top speed of 59mph for £8,450.

But you need a bike licence for that one.
