Mostly busy over on the Brammo Owners Forum

I know, you miss my rapier wit and my “how did he find that out” exclusive Brammo news. I miss you, too, dear reader. It’s just hard out there for a Brammofan. Most of the action, these days, occurs over on the Brammo Owners Forum which I run (with @skadamo’s invaluable assistance). I’m not shutting this [...]

Sent to me by a friend in Ashland, Oregon, headquarters of Brammo, Inc.: Zeus seems to be angry – as if someone below has unlocked the key to the mystery behind his ability to control the lightning bolts he hurls. Someone has harnessed their power and is about to unleash it upon a world that [...]

Lights? Check. Siren? Check. A peek at the Enertia Plus LE

brammofan — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 15:33:03 +0000

A word to the wise – turn your speaker volume down before playing this video, which came to me via a Bothan spy embedded in Ashland, Oregon. Is this the Enertia Plus LE (Law Enforcement) model, getting ready to be loaded into a shipping container headed toward Hong Kong? Or is it, perhaps, the [...]

Brammo + Bicycles = Elmoto Bikes?

brammofan — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 18:45:52 +0000

A little bird just shared some interesting photos, which appear to originate from Germany and which also appear to show a cozy relationship between Brammo and the electric bicycle manufacturer, Elmoto. In fact, it appears that the two bikes are just different faces of the same coin (sharing the same display, at least). Here’s image [...]

Brammo has sent emails to U.S. residents who have placed orders for the Enertia Plus, sharing details on the production model and asking them to confirm their interest in purchasing. For now, just the facts: The much anticipated Enertia Plus is now entering production and your pre-order has reached the point where you will need [...]

Gavin’s VERY detailed Brammo Enertia review

brammofan — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 17:19:42 +0000

One of the more active (and vocal) members of the Brammo Owners Forum has written a novella about his experience with the Brammo Enertia electric motorcycle. The company let him take it on a test ride that can fairly be described as “extended.” It may be lengthy, but it’s an easy read and a recommended read [...]

Brammo Enertia Won on The Price is Right

brammofan — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 04:00:57 +0000

Some lucky dude won his showcase on CBS’s iconic game show, “The Price is Right” today. Included in that showcase was one Brammo Enertia. The guy also took home a treadmill and will be going on a trip to Dubai. Memories of vacations fade and the best laid plans for regular exercise seem to fall [...]

Zero – Taking Flight

Congratulations to Zero Motorcycles on their 2012 model announcement yesterday at EICMA in Milan, Italy. In addition to providing lots of photos and specifications which an intrepid electric motorcycle enthusiast can easily find (hey, I’m Brammofan, not Zerofan), they also released a video in which I have found the hidden secret to how the bike [...]
