Electric motorcycles are popping up all over the place. The one that caught my eye today is the Enertia Plus from Portland-based Brammo: 80-mile range, top speed in the low sixties, and the usual torque-like-crazy electric performance. Not only that, it looks terrific and list price – brand new! – is only $9k.
Really impressive. I do have two reservations about this technology….
1) Can the infrastructure cope with an increased demand for electricity?
2) What will the cost per charge be and will it be more or less cost effective than petrol?
I would hope tax incentives are offered to entice people into switching…
