The Brammo Enertia electric bike is a new innovative way to travel. Like a motorcycle, it has 2 wheels in a line but this new bike travels on 100% electricity. On top of that it only costs $12,000 and, as described by Rick Rommel, the Senior Vice President of Emerging Business and Best Buy, has a computer and a battery on wheels. This sounds like a very green product.
This may all sound good to you but maybe it won't be that great after all. First of all, many people don't like the idea of traveling on a motorcycle. They feel it is dangerous or out of their comfort zone. Second of all, to power a motorcycle like Brammo Bike it would take a lot electricity. You might not have to pay for gas but your electric bill could make up for that. All these reasons, along with the fact that it probably won't get good charge mileage, lead me into believing that this will not make a great difference in the economy or consumer.
