Eco Crotch Rocket - The Enertia, a Finely Designed Electric Motorcycle (VIDEO)
[Edit]
[Edit]
Slick design, 0-30 mph in 3.8 seconds and so quiet that you can sneak up on cyclists. The Enertia could have used a more inspired name but thankfully does have inspired engineering. It is about as cool as you can look while being very environmentally friendly. Virtually silent, it doesn’t heat up or spew gasses and it manages 50 miles (80km) between charges and takes 3 hours to fully charges.
On the green front, according to Brammo, this urban transportation tool can reduce a commuter's carbon footprint by 92 percent. But you'd have to get out of that fossil-powered sled and commute every day on the Enertia to see that large of a reduction. But depending on where you live, any reduction to environmental impact couldn't be easier, with perhaps the friendliest motorcycle yet. The Enertia's power ratings (12-25 horsepower, 17-34 lb-ft of torque) make it comparable to a Kawasaki Ninja 250 in terms of horsepower, but the electric drivetrain provides double the amount of torque (the force that gets you moving), in a package 30 pounds lighter. At the 100-percent power setting, Brammo claims a 0-30 mph time of 3.8 seconds—plenty of power for the urban jungle.
