I'm out of touch for a mere weekend and missed so much.  Thanks for showing this, Brian.

The Perm 120L (Enertia Classic) is rated at only 7 kw continuous (15s up to 10kw, Brammo listed the Enertia at 13kw peak iirc). So the Enertia Classic motor and battery pack were well-matched. This new battery is significantly more powerful than the old motor..!


So Proto, did you think the Plus gets a new motor?  Currently the Brammo site lists the Enertia and the Plus as having the same motor specs....

No idea. It's almost certainly cheaper to use the existing motor (no new redesign), and the Enertia Plus is targeting a significantly cheaper price point than (say) the $11500 2012 Zero S ZF6. Which has a smaller battery, if we want to get into size-measuring contests..

I'd love to see a range contest between the E+ and the ZF6 S. S has a little less battery, but has a purportedly very efficient new motor and brake regen.

I expect to see the same motor, but I'd love to see a new motor.. or even the existing motor hot-rodded a little!
