id lik 2 buy... either inertia plus or impulse....

but when??? and which one...
my trip to work is 26 miles ,,, one way..
1st 5 miles is 45mph highway (=59 mph in normal driving)
then 5 miles of 60mph freeway(65-70 mph normally)
then 10 miles of 55mph freeway (60-65)
the last on base at 25mph...

i got PV , and make more energy than i currently use (have about 135$ credit)
so energy use not that much of a concern...

and which bikes gonna come out first?
any planned dealers in Hawaii? (Oahu)

ok... hope i can get some feedback here....

thanks and Aloha
Peter   :D

Welcome to the forum.

As things stand right now, it appears that you could use either one for that distance, but if you are looking to go above 65mph on a highway, I would recommend the Empulse. As manufacturing and testing gets underway, you could see some changes in the specs.

Rumor has it that the Brammo Enertia Plus will be released first.
 

protomech:
Rough numbers - figure they're within 20%.

25 mph is around 70 wh/mi.
60 mph is around 140 wh/mi.
65 mph is around 160 wh/mi.
70 mph is around 180 wh/mi.

So 5 * 140 + 5 * 180 + 10 * 160 + 1 * 25 = 3.2 kwh approximately.

Both ways would be around 6.4 kwh, with 85% charger efficiency you need 7.5 kwh from the wall (or from your PV system or storage batteries if you charge at night).

And the batteries lose holding over time,,,
So,, probably SHOULD get an empulse,,,
Now to wait,, just took the MSF class this past weekend,,, and itching now to ride,,
Wife says just get a big cruiser (so she wont have to worry
About me tearing up the streets on a sportbike, but I'd rather wait for a Brammo,,,
Would BOTH need the weekly chain lube maintainance after 250 miles???
When you do it every week, I guess you get fast at it huh??? ;D

Congrats on the MSF class. It is the right thing to do in my opinion.

Yes, but I lube my Enertia's chain far more often due to the dirt that collects on it due to my specific commute on dusty backroads. I typically clean and lube the chain twice per week, and yes, you eventually gain efficiency to do a quick job of it.
