Overview

Introducing the 2011 Brammo Enertia, a pioneering electric motorcycle that redefines the sport category with its innovative design and eco-friendly performance. Priced at $9,995, the Enertia targets environmentally conscious riders seeking to blend stylish aesthetics with cutting-edge technology. As one of the first mainstream electric sport bikes, the Enertia positions itself as an exciting alternative to traditional gasoline-powered motorcycles, providing a thrilling ride while minimizing the carbon footprint. At the heart of the Brammo Enertia lies a robust electric engine that delivers 17.43 horsepower and a powerful 40 Nm of torque. This combination ensures a lively acceleration, allowing you to reach a top speed of 60 mph (96.6 km/h) with ease. The automatic transmission and liquid cooling system enhance the riding experience by providing seamless gear shifts and maintaining optimal engine performance. With a lightweight design at just 324 pounds (147 kg), the Enertia’s power-to-weight ratio of 0.1186 HP/kg translates to agile handling and nimble maneuverability—perfect for both city commuting and spirited rides on winding roads. The Enertia is not just about performance; it’s packed with features that elevate the riding experience. Its frame, constructed from lightweight extruded and welded aluminum, doubles as a battery tray and showcases Brammo's commitment to innovation—this design is even patent pending! The suspension system, featuring a Marzocchi Shiver hydraulic front and Elka hydraulic rear, offers adjustable compression damping for optimal comfort on diverse terrains. Riders can recharge the Valence lithium iron phosphate battery in about four hours, boasting an impressive lifespan of 2,000 cycles, ensuring you can maximize your journeys without frequent downtime. **
