brammo_enertia

Finally your dreams of driving a power wheels on the street can come true. Enter the Brammo Enertia($8K). The Enertia is the first commercially available street legal 100% electric motorcycle. The design of this bike pulls from its motorcylce heritage but adds in the perfect balance of “modern electro”. With no clutch or gears it’s just a simple flick of the wrist and you’re off. The great thing about electric transport is that even at 0 RPM the motor produces 100% of it’s power. That means that once you flick your wrist you’re in for a rush. Because the motor is a completely sealed brushless design, maintenance is extremely diminished. Weighing in at 324lbs this ride can zoom you up to a top speed of 60+ mph and take you about 42 miles. When you’re out of juice simply plug it in to your standard wall outlet. If you live in the U.S. the government will front you a 10% tax break, bringing the price down to $7,200.
