Go Green
Go green! Do we have an option, though,h especially when we know the world is altering for the pits? Green, the word is conquering all with a vehemence which should be recognized as a norm, not an achievement; the need of the hour bears the answer. Yet, when a technology as that incorporated in the Enertia emerges, it deserves appreciation for it ain’t just a green machine.
This ‘Plug-intwo-wheelerer is absolute fun with efficiency guaranteed. Clearly not a typical motorcycle, the Enertia has no fuel tank and no internal-combustion engine. From a jaded (as the color green) fascia, it can reduce a commuter’s carbon footprint by 92 percent.
It lacks many of the characteristics that traditionally guide people away from a two-wheeled, mechanized ride. Almost silent, it has no exhaust and doesn’t get hot. Furthermore, it has no clutch or gearbox. It is light and slim, and practically maintenance-free. When I read it first, I thought this was some geeky machine good enough to replace a bicycle, but then, the credentials made me go silent.
Enertia: More Than Just an Electric Motorcycle
The Enertia is a clean-sheet design with its central structure made of carbon fiber, which serves as both the motorcycle’s chassis and its battery tray. Unlike typical bikes, the engine is an alternator-sized electric motor mounted at the bottom of the chassis just ahead of the rear wheel. The motor is directly attached to the rear wheel through a chain and sprocket.
For fuel storage, it consists of six 12-volt lithium-phosphate battery packs. These modules, which are about half the size of a traditional car battery, are accumulated inside the upper and lower channels of the H-shaped carbon fiber chassis; three on top, three below.
Design Revolution: A Bike Without Fuel or Fire
In contrast to lithium-ion or lithium-cobalt batteries, the application of the lithium-phosphate cells is remarkably resistant to combustion, even if the batteries are impacted or punctured. It can be charged from any regular 110-volt electrical outlet and gets wholly recharged in just three hours, which puts even the most hi-fi doodads to shame, for its fast mate! Nothen it sss a bike, you prick!
Carbon Fiber Core: Lightweight and Purpose-Built
The power level of the Enertia is user-selectable from 40 to 100 percent, which decides how fast you draw current from the batteries. The Enertia’s power ratings (12-25 horsepower, 17-34 lb-ft of torque) make it analogous to a Kawasaki Ninja 250 in terms of horsepower, but the electric drivetrain provides double the amount of torque, in a package 30 pounds lighter. At the 100-percent power setting, Brammo claims a 0-30 mph time of 3.8 seconds but at a top speed of only 50 mph.
Hmmm! think they should do something about that speed, but then I simultaneously feel, if a person looks for a high adrenalin driver, Enertia should be an alien name to him, atleast the one with an ‘E’, although the one with an ‘I’ is all that you need to define this call it whatever.
