Hey, Best Buy has found a new way to liberate you from $12,000. They are the first authorized dealers of an all-electric commuter motorcycle. The Brammo Enertia, made in Ashland, Oregon, will first be carried by a select few California stores. Eventually, Brammo hopes the Enertia will be available at the 1,200 stores across the U.S. and 1,500 stores in Europe.
Implications - Best Buy participated in a $10 million dollar investment, so hopefully these bikes go flying off the shelves! The featured video shows off some of the cool Brammo Enertia bikes that are available. The eco-friendly bikes were made specifically for people who want to get to and from work in a flash while saving the environment.
