At Giz Gallery '09: Brammo Enertia Electric Motorcycles

Motorcycles are cool. But I'll venture further out and say that Electric Motorcycles are even better because like in Tron, are silent and require no gas. That's why we'll have the all-electric Brammo Enertia Motorcycle at Giz Gallery '09.

Brammo's wonderbike runs off six lithium phosphate batteries and reaches a top speed of 50 miles with no emissions. Plus, because the bike is 100% battery powered, the bike doesn't require gears or a clutch. Basically, it's the ultimate way to get around a city. You should check it out when you stop by to get your laptop laser etched and stuff your face with pancakes.

Enertia Electric Motorcycle

The Brammo Motorsports Enertia is a 100% electric bike. Charged by normal plug in a speedy three hours (faster than my Macbook Pro), six lithium phosphate batteries can store up to 45 miles worth of riding. But at a top speed of only 50mph, the chain-driven Enertia is more of a decorated moped than a motorcycle (though the Brembo brakes sound nice). Hitting stores next year, a limited edition carbon model will run $14,995 with the standard priced at $11,995. Because it takes green to go green.
