Brammo's Enertia Electric Bike

enertiabike_photos.jpg

Here comes Brammo’s Enertia electric motorcycle.

This sweet ride is constructed from a carbon fibre chassis, and weighs in at an easy 125kgs. It integrates six lithium-phosphate batteries to propel it to a top speed of more than 80 km/h, and on a full charge, it will take you more than 70kms. To convert to imperial, click here.

As far as emissions are concerned, modern motorcycles often produce up to 15 times the emissions per kilometer as the average new car or light-duty truck. But the Enertia solves both issues with a more efficient drivetrain versus a conventional motorcycle and far less “well to wheel” emissions.

Prospective buyers should get themselves over to the Enertia site to lay down their 50% deposit and get in line, as production - which begins in early 2008 - will be limited.
