I remember my first time seeing an Enertia in the flesh....
[edited, below was not the first time I touched one. It was at Best Buy in Portland, where I got to see their race bike as well]
[edited, this was the second time I touched one] I've been aquaintances with Brian for ~4 years now I think. I first went down to Ashland in the December of 2009 to pick up some HPEVS motors/controllers from Barefoot Motors (now defunct). I contacted Brian and asked if I could stop in and say hello while I was down there. I got much more than a Hello. While I didn't get to ride an Enertia (no motorcycle license at the time), he showed me the engineering area (with some parts of a TTX in the dev area), the entire shop floor, the dyno, the crates of Enertias and their fleet of test vehicles. They have a great setup there... super clean and a very slick assembly line. There's a lot that went into the Enertias, but unfortunately you don't really see the internals with the fairings on it. It was nice to get a peak inside. I'll ask Brian if it is ok to post them on my website.
Later that evening, I grabbed dinner downtown with Brian and we chatted a bit about racing, the Enertias, my bike and the future of Electric Vehicles. Was great to finally meet Brian (and the Enertia).
