also, not 100%, but there is a good chance I am doing a road trip this weekend.

Anybody interested in an Enertia at the Grand Canyon photo blog?

Check the blog on Monday...

Man, oh man. I can't wait until Monday's post. 
For those of you who aren't fortunate enough to be Gavin's Facebook friend, he's been posting photos of a black Enertia Plus on Route 66.

Very nice. Especially Rebirth ; )

Actually I do not like the Enertia name. Inertia is what the existing gas motorcycle industry has. Little new or different. Coasting along largely on 20 year old designs with fresh lipstick. Of course all moving things have some amount of inertia but large ponderous objects with little control over their direction are dominated by their inertia.

Perhaps Enertia = Ending Inertia.

With a lot of extrapolation, I saw energy consumption consistent with a 150-160 mile (47 Wh/mile) range on the ZF9 at 20 mph. 5000 mile ascent will use around 1.3 kWh (assuming 75% total powertrain efficiency), leaving you with 49 Wh/mile to cover the 100 miles.

Truth be told, I have never been too partial toward the name, "Enertia," for the very reasons you stated, protomech.  "Encite" is another dud, as far as I'm concerned.  Sounds too close to a certain fake male enhancement product.  :-\

Yeah, Empulse and Engage are my favorites... I kinda like Enertia, though I havent really looked into the meaning of the word from which it was derived that much. Encite, not as much, but I dont dislike the name.

Gavin, did I notice correctly in your video's that you like to ride with one hand? <mommytalk> Catching a stone, hole in the road or piece of wood or any object with the front wheel and one hand on the handlebars can be lethal </mommytalk>
Once you go EV, gas is history!

I hate to admit how much I ride with one hand...too often with no hands.

I didn't realize just how much I did it till I watched the videos...every video has me riding at least some with one hand.

On the other hand...in the last 7 years (i was late to the motorcycle life) and 30k miles on motorcycles, zero....well I won't finish that sentence as I am weird like that...
