Brammo is an electric vehicle company, based in Ashland, Oregon, United States. Its first production electric motorcycle, the Enertia, is assembled there and is selling online via the company's website for only US$7995.
Brammo's experience with building supercars, coupled with its research of electric drivetrains and then-current battery technology led to the belief that with the power to weight and energy density ratio of lithium batteries, an EV was possible, but that the vehicle's weight was a crucial concern. The decision was made to produce a lighter motorcycle.
Brammo focused on designing and building the Enertia powercycle prototype. After completing the prototype, the company met with investors and determined that Brammo Motorsports needed to become Brammo, Inc., and that it would thereafter focus fully on electric vehicles.
Its top speed can go up to 50mph. Not so bad, considering it as a powerful electric motorcycle. Those ones selling in China can go up to 20mph at the most on the street. Full recharge time from a 110 volt outlet is 3 hours. Direct chain drive with no clutch, just twist and go. It weighs just 275 pounds.
