Overview

Introducing the 2012 Brammo Enertia, a pioneering electric sport motorcycle that embodies the future of two-wheeled mobility. With a price tag of $7,995, the Enertia captures the essence of eco-friendly riding while delivering an exhilarating experience for enthusiasts looking to make a statement. This sleek machine is designed for urban commuting and weekend joyrides, offering a blend of style and performance that stands out in the growing electric motorcycle market. At the heart of the Enertia lies its robust electric motor, delivering a respectable 17.43 horsepower at 4,500 RPM and a torque of 40.00 Nm at 1,450 RPM. This translates into an impressive top speed of 60 mph (96.6 km/h), making it an ideal choice for city streets and short highway jaunts. The automatic gearbox ensures a seamless riding experience with no clutch or gears to worry about, allowing riders to focus purely on the thrill of the ride. The liquid cooling system enhances efficiency and performance, ensuring that the Enertia remains cool under pressure while you navigate through traffic or carve out your favorite winding roads. The Enertia’s design is as much about functionality as it is about aesthetics. Constructed with a lightweight extruded and welded aluminum frame, which also serves as a battery tray, this motorcycle is engineered for agility and stability. The Marzocchi Shiver hydraulic front suspension and Elka hydraulic rear suspension provide a plush ride with adjustable compression damping, offering 5 inches of travel to absorb bumps in the road. The Bremo single disc brakes provide reliable stopping power, ensuring that you can confidently handle any riding situation. With a seat height of 32 inches, the Enertia caters to a wide range of riders, making it accessible for both seasoned riders and newcomers alike. **

Pros

  • Eco-Friendly Performance: As an electric motorcycle, the Enertia significantly reduces emissions and offers a quiet ride, perfect for urban environments.
  • Lightweight and Agile: Weighing in at just 324 pounds, the Enertia's lightweight design enhances maneuverability, making it easy to navigate through traffic.
  • Cost-Effective Operation: With a battery life of 2000 recharges and a recharge time of approximately 4 hours, the Enertia offers an economical alternative to traditional fuel-powered motorcycles.

Cons

  • Limited Range and Speed: While the Enertia is great for short trips, its top speed and range may not be adequate for longer highway journeys.
  • Charging Infrastructure: Depending on location, access to charging stations may be limited, which can affect long-distance travel plans.
  • Fewer Performance Options: As an electric motorcycle, it lacks the varied performance tuning options often found in gas-powered sport bikes, which may deter performance-focused riders.
