As a sport category motorcycle, the Enertia Plus is designed for riders who crave performance without compromising on sustainability. With its sleek design and cutting-edge electric technology, Brammo has positioned the Enertia Plus as an ideal choice for urban commuting and spirited weekend rides, appealing to both seasoned motorcyclists and eco-friendly enthusiasts alike. At the heart of the Enertia Plus lies a robust electric engine that produces 17.43 horsepower at 4,500 RPM and an impressive torque of 40 Nm at just 1,450 RPM.

Its battery, a Brammo Power™ unit, boasts a capacity of 6.0 kWh and operates at a nominal voltage of 88.8 V, allowing for a recharge time of approximately eight hours using standard household outlets. With a lifespan of up to 500 recharges, this motorcycle is built for longevity and convenience. The advanced suspension system features a Marzocchi Shiver hydraulic front fork with compression damping adjustments and a Works Performance rear shock that allows for pre-load and rebound damping adjustments, ensuring a smooth ride on varied terrains. Customization is also at your fingertips, with color options including black, blue, red, and silver to match your personal style. In the world of electric motorcycles, the 2011 Brammo Enertia Plus stands out as a revolutionary option, blending performance, technology, and sustainability into a single, engaging package. Whether you're navigating city streets or cruising through winding roads, the Enertia Plus offers a unique riding experience that reflects a commitment to both innovation and the environment.
