Brammo Racing / Brian Wismann's racing report
« on: March 30, 2023, 08:30:43 AM »
Brian Wismann, Brammo's designer, works for Zero now but also has a racing team called Lightfighter. Read his most recent report:

Brammo Enertia / My Enertia turns "On" but won't "Go"
« on: October 27, 2021, 04:18:59 PM »
Instead of helping (or monitoring other peoples' rescues), it is finally time for me to seek the help of others. 

I haven't ridden my Enertia for a couple years but I pulled it out of the garage last weekend to check it out.  I keep it charged, and it charges just fine.

I turned the key on and pressed the "tank" button - got the start-up sound. 
Dash told me the headlight was off - I turned on the lights.
Dash told me the kickstand was down - I raised the kickstand.
I flipped the red handlebar switch from "Off" to "On."

There are no error codes on the dash.

The speedometer shows the amber "ON" but never goes to the green "GO".

What am I missing/forgetting?  Or what should I check?

Off Topic / Aptera video by Kristen Dirksen
« on: October 06, 2021, 12:26:32 PM »
I follow this youtuber and she usually focuses on small, sustainable housing.  Here, she focuses on the Aptera, an electric, solar-powered (also plug in) three-wheeled vehicle.  Aptera has had its share of starts, stops, re-configurations, but I am hopeful they make it to production someday soon.

RARE ELECTRIC BIKE:
Brammo Empulse TTX, One of only three of these privateer bikes ever sold outside of the factory for the race team to show. The race version helped the team win a number of Championships in the few short years that Brammo was the leader in the electric bike industry.

Includes all three team members autographs on the tank, Shelina Moreda (pro racer & model), Shane Turpin, Eric Bostrum and the technician. Shelia Moreda rode the bike in a race against Airplanes at the Lehigh Valley Air Show. Eric Bostrum rode it as a guest coach at a Ducati Track Day. The bike has about 205 miles on it.

The Brammo comes with all the merchandising items from the original purchase, as well as a storage crate and computers and tools to tune it.

The bike competed in and won the AHRMA historic motorcycle race, it was the only time it ever raced and was part of the electric race bike category in the production class.

They were right about HD, but saying that they're vulnerable to Lightning's new $13K bike is ridiculous.

Welcome Forum / Brammo Technical Documents
« on: October 12, 2018, 11:37:50 AM »
I have scanned a collection of technical documents from Brammo that can be found at:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1rwgfRbPIM7qcoId06CrH3WhZzWNi80O3

UPDATE: Also on the Brammo Wiki: http://www.brammoforum.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:Brammo.pdf

I will (hopefully) be putting these up on the Wiki soon, but I wanted to make them available now. They are not necessarily in any particular order. They included parts manuals for the Enertia models, technical bulletins, documents about the battery systems, etc.

Take a look. Maybe someone wants to work on cataloging them and putting them in a usable order.

NOTE: these documents are primarily Brammo Enertia-centric.

I just received the .pdf file linked below from Adrian Stewart, who in turn received it from Charles Lee, Brammo employee and amazing photographer. Lots of fun looking through the photos, seeing familiar faces, remembering major milestones.  I hope you enjoy it too.

Bikes For Sale Or Auction / 2012 Brammo Enertia for sale on San Francisco Craigslist

It's got some problems, but the seller seems pretty transparent about them:

I bought this about a year ago and rode it often on my 10 mile commute. For that it's great. I've since bought a Leaf and I no longer need this.

This Brammo does have a low cell, so the range was only 20 miles when I tested it. The original format of these batteries is no longer available. I work with electric vehicles, so I know that this will either keep on kickin' as-is for a while, or the lower cell may get worse much quicker than the rest. For this reason, you will not buy this and be disappointed if and when it can no longer make your needed mileage, as you will then part it out on ebay, making most of your money back, or use the drive system for something else. I could do this as well, but if someone can ride it as-is, then so be it. Know that I am Not interested in servicing this. That being said, it really made me smile when I rode it, and hopefully it will make someone else happy as well.

This was their first model and it's got some quirks. A fault code shows up regularly that has no negative affect. Sometimes the controller thinks the motor is too hot, even shortly after you turn it on. I did put new brake pads on the front, the tires look good. It's a bit loud when it charges, due to the fan on the onboard charger which uses a standard 110 outlet. It will get on the 101, but don't expect it to go more than one or two exists as the motor will get too hot in that case, limiting power. Since there is no transmission, it rides like a scooter, but quieter.

Registration is current, clean title. Trades considered, no weed or stolen crap.

Feel free to ask me any questions, and happy CL'ing.
