Overview

Introducing the 2013 Brammo Enertia, a pioneer in the realm of electric sport motorcycles that embodies the future of sustainable riding without compromising on performance or style. Designed for urban commuters and thrill-seekers alike, the Enertia effortlessly blends cutting-edge technology with sleek aesthetics. With its lightweight aluminum frame and striking color options—green, silver, white, and orange—this motorcycle is not just a mode of transportation; it's a statement of eco-conscious sophistication. As electric vehicles gain traction, the Brammo Enertia positions itself as a leading contender in the electric motorcycle segment, appealing to both seasoned riders and those new to the two-wheeled world. At the heart of the Enertia is its impressive electric powertrain, delivering 17.43 horsepower at 4500 RPM and a robust torque of 40 Nm at a mere 1450 RPM. This electric engine allows the motorcycle to reach a top speed of 60 mph, making it perfect for city cruising and weekend adventures. The automatic transmission and absence of a traditional clutch mean that riders can focus on the road ahead without the hassle of gear-shifting. With liquid cooling ensuring optimal performance, the Enertia's riding experience is both smooth and responsive, inviting riders to explore its full potential on twisty roads and open highways alike. The Enertia comes packed with innovative features that elevate its performance and usability. Its lightweight, extruded aluminum frame not only serves as a robust battery tray—patent pending—but also enhances the motorcycle's agility and handling. On the suspension front, the Marzocchi Shiver hydraulic front forks and Elka hydraulic rear suspension provide 5 inches of travel with compression damping adjustments, ensuring a comfortable ride over varied terrain. The Brembo hydraulic brakes—both front and rear—offer superior stopping power, instilling confidence in every ride. Plus, with a lithium iron phosphate battery providing a capacity of 3.1 kWh and a recharge time of approximately 4 hours, the Enertia promises to keep you on the road longer, with an impressive lifespan of 2000 recharges. **

Pros

  • Eco-Friendly Performance: The fully electric powertrain offers a sustainable riding experience without sacrificing speed or torque.
  • Lightweight Design: At just 324 pounds, the Enertia's aluminum frame provides excellent maneuverability and handling, making it ideal for urban riding.
  • User-Friendly Technology: The automatic gearbox and electric start simplify the riding experience, making it accessible for both new and experienced riders.

Cons

  • Limited Range: As with many electric motorcycles, the Enertia may have a limited range compared to traditional gas-powered bikes, which could necessitate more frequent recharges.
  • Top Speed Restriction: With a maximum speed of 60 mph, it may not meet the needs of those seeking higher-speed performance for longer highway rides.
  • Charging Time: The 4-hour recharge time might be less convenient for riders looking for quick top-ups during their journeys.
