"clutch-free and single-geared"]]>Jun 9th 2009 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/
Most production electric vehicles do NOT have a clutch or gears. The tesla for instance, has no gearbox, just a single speed fixed gear, with electric reverse.

People who convert existing cars in their homes usually use the transmission because it's already there and helps give them the gearing that is perfect for their car, but when you're building a new vehicle from scratch the torque curves on the electric motor as well as the flexibility of the speed controller mean that it makes more sense to use a single gear and save weight instead of hauling around a heavy clutch and gearbox.]]>Jun 9th 2009 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/Jun 9th 2009 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/http://www.e-road.com/]]>Jun 10th 2009 8:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/Jun 9th 2009 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/Jun 9th 2009 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/Jun 9th 2009 1:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/Jun 9th 2009 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/Jun 9th 2009 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/Jun 9th 2009 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/Jun 9th 2009 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/Jun 9th 2009 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/Jun 9th 2009 8:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/Jun 9th 2009 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/FXDF Harley

...Engadget needs to get some an in-house science adviser. It's not hard to spot a lot of common misconceptions and bad information in their blog posts..

Come test my bike, Engadget. Cost my ~ 3K and can do 45, looks better than this.

For 11K, I can make something that will do 100mph easy....

your ire has been noted. multiple time. you've said nothing that hasn't been said in every other post regarding electrical street legal two-wheeled transport. it's obvious this is not for you. please, leave the space for the people who *are*.

2) so, Electric Motorsport, Vectrix, Quantya are not considered players?]]>Jul 4th 2009 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/Jun 9th 2009 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/
Those reading this post are interested, at least in part, by alternatively powered vehicles. So, I submit for your consideration a ready for prime time mountain bike, with a hidden high powered electric motor and battery, that's made in Colorado.

The Optibike is 1/2 the price, weighs 200pounds LESS, can be picked up an put in your car, and can easily travel at speeds very close to the Enertia's sweetspot of 25mph. There are both men's and women's models, very high quality, excellent warranty, and because it's a bicycle (95%) can be readily serviced at your local shop. www.optibike.com

Oh, and you can put in the front of a bus, bring it on a train, put it a bike box for travel on a plane, and when you get to work, or the store, it can go inside because it's a bicycle, not a motorcycle. Finally, federal law states the Optibike is a bicycle, and does not require registration, insurance, plates, but a helmet is always a good idea; check with your local authorities.

To those who disagree, please refer to cWj's comment above.]]>Jun 9th 2009 7:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/Jun 9th 2009 8:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/
