Daily news about motorcycleshttp://news.motorbiker.org/blogs.nsf/en-usTue, 21 May 2013 18:00:00 +0200 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 14:00:00 +0200

Brammo Hong Kong released an interesting video of one of their Enertia electric motorcycles riding around and into Hong Kong. It's interesting since a) Hong Kong is an enormous big city, and b) you get to see how an electric motorcycle holds up in city traffic.

In the 20 minute long video, you get to see mostly motorway riding, so no stopping (and therefore recharging the battery) except for the toll booth (around the 4:30 mark).

The first thing that will strike you is the noise level! Don't for one moment think that electric motorcycles are totally silent; they're not. The engine itself makes a whining noise, and the chain adds to that. It's quieter than traditional motorcycles, but not silent.......

#Brammo #Electric Hong Kong is going totally ballistic with electric cars and motorcycles. Already Brammo had sold the first few electric motorcycles to their police force, and electric cars are selling pretty well for such a small territory. The number of EVs (Electric Vehicles) is growing. Maybe the total number is very small, 310 to be accurate, but last year that number was 74, so a massive increase. The government themselves have 33 EVs, and another 43 will arrive in the coming months. Another 140 will be ordered this year.

The Hong Kong government and private companies had already installed 500 EV charging stations, but now the government has stepped in and accelerated the roll out of stations. By the end of the month of June, there will be 1,000 electric charging stations.

Brammo venture with Flextronics is showing its first real results. The first factory outside of the USA has started in Hungary.

The Hungarian factory is expected to produce 660 motorcycle per month in a high tech assembly line.

Brammo have released a new technology for electric motorcycles. The downside of an electric motorcycle is that the rider can not switch gears... they are automatic.

But Brammo uses a new technology dubbed IET, that gives the biker more control, since it gives them 6 gears.

Have a look at the video...

Brammo have supplied one of their electric motorcycles, the Enertia, to the Hong Kong police for testing.

Not bad, having the cops ride an electric motorcycle in a polluted city. Much better.

Brammo, manufacturer of electric motorcycles, introduced themselves to the European press at EICMA.

Extending the 1 in 1000 prize draw, and send a SMS to the special phone number, and stand the chance to win...

Since we don't get to see Brammo over here in Europe, I broke into the Eicma exhibition grounds before it opened officially, and made a beeline for Brammo motorcycles to have a quite look at their electric motorcycles.

I was not disappointed.

Great news. Brammo, the manufacturer of the sexy electric motorcycle, Empulse, are going global. No longer just the USA.

They are partnering with the $24 Billion electronic & automotive giant Flextronics to bring you their electric motorcycles to you country, worldwide.

Gotta start saving my money.... next on my shopping list, Brammo Empulse motorcycle.

Nice video (and article) on a test ride of the Brammo electric motorcycle by the Earth2Tech web site.

It's not a test ride by a professional motorcycle tester, but more one by a newbie to motorcycles, so she asks different questions.

Interesting!
