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 they’re silent, require no fuel and no shifting. 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 80 kilometres 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.

“Electric Motorcycles are even better because they’re silent”
I run a loud exhaust on my motorcycle – cars usually know when I’m nearby. You will want very good reflexes on a silent bike at 80kmh.
There’s no reason why they can’t be fitted with a speaker that emits an engine noise or something else, much like some Tesla sports cars have.
The Brammo Enertia Motorcycle link in this article took me to a page about the e-cigarettes??
No emissions? How is the electricity generated? Magic?
yes, magic!
Apparently the author of this isn’t a motorcyclist, because making noise and changing gears is exactly what makes motorcycling fun!
No leaning into and going fast around corners is what is fun on a motorbike. Getting rid of the gears only makes this easier and therefore faster. I do like the noise my R1 makes at 14k though.
