Enertia+ in August?!

[FrankH]

Hi all,

when I recently contacted Brammo sales to change the e-mail address on my pre-order, I also asked how things were going there, and when my pre-order might materialize. I got a reply from a Brammo representative from Germany, saying they could deliver in Europe this August! Needless to say I was surprised because that's less than 90 days away and I hadn't been contacted about a down payment or any other order confirmation, but apparently (once the dealership here in the Netherlands is finalized) I can just go there, pay and take it away (hopefully it's within range of Amsterdam). As always, I'll believe it when I see it, but it really seems like something is going to happen around here...

Keep us posted!

It seems the June deliveries for Empulse and Enertia+ were a little aggressive, but hopefully we'll see both bikes in August.

Seems possible...the Plus is being made much closer to our European friends...so it should be easier and quicker to get from the production line to dealers in Europe than the States.

Crossing that Pond takes time...

(hopefully it's within range of Amsterdam)

Maybe you should contact EVC Heemskerk.
On their website they are showing the BRAMMO E-motorfiets.
But price is "op aanvraag"

If you want a test drive on a Enertia, there is a Enertia at Ecomobiel at Antwerp.

I have been in contact with EVC Heemskerk a few times via Twitter (@evc_heemskerk) to request a test ride but so far no luck and no info on availability.
They are usually quick to react and helpful though and I just sent them another message today.

I contacted them through the form on their website and never heard back from them. That didn't make a good impression. But they're reasonably close to Amsterdam so I guess I'll try again...

I've got a response from @evc_heemskerk that they can do test rides of the enertia plus now and for the empulse early next year. So after my summer break I will defenitely go for a test ride on the enertia

And guess who has an appointment with them on that day

Cool!  Keep us updated, please.

Found out some more from EVC: they have an Enertia classic there for one day it seems, for demoing and test drives, but they claim to be able to deliver a Plus in 2 to 3 weeks if I want one.
Now for the bad news: the price is way higher than the €8655 that's currently listed on Brammo.com: €9935 and another €250 to get a licence plate and registration. Still cheaper than a Zero S ZF6 but not much...

I guess we'll meet on the 18th of August, kingcharles!

That is a real pity that they don't have the actual Plus version. The price is high enough to consider waiting for an Empulse...
I am considering driving there on my Vectrix but at 50 Km one way it means I will have to charge halfway and at the location. That means 6 hours charging in total... 
I am aiming for 13:00 arrival.

What's the battery capacity and range @ speed on the Vectrix?

[Richard230]

I test rode one of the original Vectrix models and it was good for about 30 miles at around an average speed of 50 mph and had a top speed of 62 mph.
