Finally, BRAMMO Enertia's for purchase

Surely a lot of people have heard of the BRAMMO Enertia and now it's finally on sale at the online store.

I say finally but in a way it doesn't seem like it's been that long of a wait. Only when I look back to when I first heard about it does it seem so. Anyway, I started to put this in the EV section but decided it was probably better off here.

Wow, that looks really nice. 13kWh pack good for 42 miles though? Ehhh, I dunno about that.

What kind of Wh per mile do most motorcycles see?

I've been interested in this bike since the first time i saw it. I am still wondering why they don't produce a faired bike that is more aerodynamic.... Its a very pricey machine as well.

Well, my Ninja 250 gets 100mpg. That converts to 366Wh/mile. For 42 miles, it would be 15kWh.

They are claiming it is 5 times more efficient than a toyota prius. If that's true, given the prius gets around 50mpg out of the box with a normal driver, lets say this bike gets an equivalent 250mpg. That coverts to 146Wh/mile. For 42 miles, it should only need about 7kWh.

Yeah, I'm not sure if the range will work for a lot of people. I'd still love to ride one though!

In order of preference:

Graphite Silver

White Noise

Glacial Blue.

I'd actually prefer a nice Cool Cobalt (see glidden paints color chart), but you can't have it all, I guess.

EDIT: For 12,000 USD - I better have it all.
