Overview

Introducing the 2012 Brammo Enertia Plus, a pioneering electric sport motorcycle that embodies the spirit of eco-friendly performance without sacrificing the thrill of the ride. With a price tag of $8,995, this innovative machine positions itself as an accessible and exciting option for urban riders and enthusiasts alike. Blending cutting-edge electric technology with sporty design, the Enertia Plus is not just a motorcycle; it's a statement in the evolving landscape of sustainable transportation. At the heart of the Enertia Plus is a robust electric powertrain that delivers a spirited 17.43 HP at 4,500 RPM, coupled with an impressive torque of 40 Nm at just 1,450 RPM. This electric engine allows riders to effortlessly reach a top speed of 60 mph (96.6 km/h), making it perfect for zipping through city streets or tackling twisty backroads. The automatic gearbox eliminates the need for shifting, providing a seamless riding experience that is both intuitive and exhilarating. Paired with liquid cooling, the motorcycle maintains optimal performance even during extended rides, ensuring that the thrill doesn't fade away. The Brammo Enertia Plus is built with innovation in mind, featuring a lightweight extruded and welded aluminum frame, which not only enhances agility but also serves as a sturdy battery tray, a design that is patent pending. The motorcycle's advanced suspension system, which includes a Marzocchi Shiver hydraulic front and a Works Performance hydraulic rear, provides a comfortable ride while allowing for adjustments to suit individual rider preferences. With electric start and a variety of color options including black, blue, red, and silver, the Enertia Plus is designed to be as stylish as it is functional. Its Brammo Power™ battery boasts a capacity of 6.0 kWh, with a recharge time of approximately 8 hours using a standard household outlet, making it convenient for daily commutes and weekend rides. **

Pros

  • Eco-Friendly Performance: As an electric motorcycle, the Enertia Plus produces zero emissions and is quiet, making it ideal for urban environments.
  • Easy Riding Experience: The automatic transmission and absence of a clutch make it user-friendly, perfect for both new and experienced riders.
  • Innovative Design: The lightweight aluminum frame and advanced suspension system offer excellent handling and comfort.

Cons

  • Limited Range: As with many electric motorcycles, range may be a concern for longer trips, depending on battery life and riding conditions.
  • Charging Time: A recharge time of approximately 8 hours can be inconvenient compared to traditional fuel refills.
  • Power Output: While adequate for city commuting, the 17.43 HP may not satisfy riders seeking higher performance levels or sportier thrills.
