Some jerk named Wes just reviewed the Brammo Enertia for Popular Mechanics, the only mainstream magazine that takes motorcycle coverage seriously.

    The last shot makes the Enertia actually look like an actually café bike. Most of the photos I have seen (actually, all of them) have been stills of the Enertia at low angles. That grandma in shot 3 knows you are up to no good on that silent bike.

      It’s actually a really nice looking bike, it’s just proved hard for other people to shoot.

    You weren’t kidding – I can’t believe how low those pegs look! It must be super comfortable on the knees, but how often did you nearly grind them?

      It’s so narrow you’d have to drop the bike to touch them down.

    the evaluation sounds about right to me – a blender on wheels, now if Brammo could only get it to replace my salad shooter I’d buy one tomorrow

    is this thing running with a bicycle chain?

      Nope, it’s a nice, heavy duty motorcycle chain, you can see it pretty clearly in the photos Grant shot for PopMech.

    I still can’t get into it. It looks sweet. I like bikes with a more aggressive appearance.
