Brammo Enertia gets the Good Morning America Treatment
Brammo is in New York for the launch of the Brammo Enertia electric motorcycle. While Good Morning America needs to check its facts a little bit -- the Enertia is by no means the first electric bike to go on sale in this country -- it's great to see green motorcycles gaining coverage in mainstream media. Also, Chris Cuomo really, really needs to practice his U-Turns. We promise to do better when we get our chance later today. Good Morning America

"Just like a regular bike"? It looks like he's never ridden a bicycle.
The Enertia looks fantastic, but it better at that price.
These are so expensive. You could easily go out and pick up an Xtreme Green X Rider - http://www.xgpinc.com/products/xrider.php - for $8k and it goes 65mph and 100 miles per charge. That's plenty for any biker...
Seth, that scooter isn't sporting anywhere near the spec componentry used on the Enertia. They're very different machines.
What a goofy scene.
Indeed, it's such a shame that this is what mainstream coverage of motorcycles in America amounts too. Actually, it's a shame that this is what news programs in America amount to.
Not sure why some of the folks leaving comments seem disappointed with the Enertia. Looks like a cool little bike. I would run out and get one, but unfortunately its too expensive for me for now.
Does anybody know where I can find more of this type of information? Very good post, but I'd like to learn more. Thanks anybody...
