Brammo Enertia Plus

Brammo has launched a new version of its Enertia electric motorcycle. Called Enertia Plus, it has double the range - up to 80 miles (128 kilometres) - compared to the standard model.





That extra mileage comes courtesy of  a new 6.0 kWh battery pack, although the one downside is that the recharging time of eight hours is now twice as long as before. The 13 kW / 40 Nm motor, which gives a top speed of around 60 mph (100 km/h), remains unchanged.





Available in True Blood Red, Eclipsed Black, Aluminium Silver and Peacekeeping Blue (think United Nations), the Brammo Enertia Plus is priced at $8,995 in the US. That’s around £5,740 / €6,470 at today’s exchange rates. But that’s not quite the whole story, as American buyers may also be eligible for Federal and State tax credit incentives.





Deliveries of the Brammo Enertia Plus are due to start in 2011. In the meantime, this YouTube video shows it in action.
