Brammo
Motorsports today announced the Enertia, the world’s first production,
zero-emissions and battery powered plug-in electric motorcycle.
With the goal of creating momentum for
change in the way vehicles are conceived and created, Brammo has
delivered this groundbreaking motorcycle.
The Enertia’s range of 45 miles
significantly exceeds the daily commute for the average consumer (U.S) of
29 miles. Battery charge time is 3 hours to full re-charge.
Borrowing from racing technology, the
Enertia utilizes a carbon fiber chassis producing an ultra strong,
light-weight vehicle platform of just 275 lbs. The chassis integrates
six lithium-phosphate batteries from supplier Valence Technology that
together produce the power to propel the Enertia to a top speed of over
50 mph.
“We believe consumers are eager to
adopt vehicles that have a fraction of the carbon footprint of a today’s
cars”, says Craig Bramscher, Chairman & CEO of Brammo Motorsports, “Our
Enertia electric motorcycle empowers people to make this choice today.”
Brian Wismann, Brammo Director of
Design said, “It is extremely satisfying to design a vehicle that people
can both feel good about using and appreciate the way it looks.”
Brammo’s Enertia is the first of a line
of plug-in electric commuter, commercial and recreational vehicles under
development.
Brammo
is a premier specialty vehicle manufacturer developing sustainable
performance products for the next generation of transportation. Through
integration of digital engineering and high impact design, Brammo
