Calmoto just sent me an email for the BMW stop sales notice with a offer that their Energicas are still available for test riding and sales.

I did not see where Energica was mentioned. It did mention you can test ride and leave a deposit on an ICE  BMW and can still buy now the BMW CE04 electric right away.

This does not affect the new BMW CE04 electric bike.

Energicas were mentioned in blue print at the bottom of Calmoto's email.

Mine must be different, it has no blue print. The only place mine shows Eneriga mentioned is in black print where it says:


"

"If you were considering a new vehicle, we also have a vast selection of KTM, Energica, and Vespa ?motorcycles available."

I just now received this email:


On September 29th, CalMoto was informed by BMW North America states that the stop-sale order has been   LIFTED! 



This was NOT a safety related matter. There is NO  technical action (recall) required at this time related to this stop sale on any of our products.  We are excited to be able to retail BMW's to all our new and current customers. Come to CalMoto to testride any model on showroom floor and see what is being delivered next for you to enjoy.   Thank you for understanding and working with us during this time. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Translation, we bribed the right sob and magically the problem went away.
That looks even worse that they won't tell you why.
A stop sales nation wide, is a pretty serious thing, which one would deduce, would take something serious to cause it.
The fact that they now are trying to pretend nothing happened, is even more suspicious.

Could the stop sales notice have been a way to get attention for BMW motorcycles and also a way to get some customers to buy the bikes right after sales started up again just in case it wouldn't happen again? It might be a new type of marketing idea that a consultant decided was worth a try.    You just never know about these sort of things.

It would be real sleazy that's for sure, but we are talking BMW so, anything is possible.
Still, I wouldn't rush out to buy one, or any brand that pulled a stunt like that.   I'd still be asking what's up? What happens when they undo their reversal because the bribery check bounces or something?

If they are going to approach you with shady shit, how do you think they are going to treat you once they got you, or worse, when you need service?   No thanks.

It remines me of when Coke~Cola was taken off the market, replaced by the new Coke. All that free advertising, etc.
