Enertia Electric Motorbike, a Cool-looking Green Commuter

By C. S. Magor / 5 comments

The Enertia is an electric bike that is capable getting 40 miles of driving out of six Lithium Phosphate battery modules. The speed tops out at 50 MPH, but that is more than enough to handle just about any commute. The charge time is three hours, so if you have access to a power supply at work, you can charge it up before it comes time to head home.

Price: $11,995 [Enertia Bike via Red Ferret]

Nice… but on a 65 m.p.h. highway where cars typically drive even faster, I wouldn’t be caught dead driving anything that maxes out at 50 m.p.h. Or, maybe I would.

Electric vehicle makers need to design vehicles that max out at 75 m.p.h. so that they’re usable on the highway. Many of us who commute do not have the luxury of only doing in-city driving.

I get relatively the same performance from my ZAP scooter (Vespa styling), and there’s no drive belt/drive train parts to maintain. Rear Hub motor is fixed axle coil with surrounding magnets; no friction (thanks Nikolai!) Cost about 1/4 the price at 3k USD.

LOOKS LIKE CRAP!
LOVE ECO idea, but not one of those idiots designing them has a clue as to what will sell.
and for $12k? WTF? I can get a good used 999 Ducati that will do 200 mph for that! Why go green when you can go in style?
and btw…max speed sucks, you’ll be a dead rider cause you can’t evade the idiots without power.
