Battery Charging?
|
|
|
The Enertia has an onboard battery charger; the charging cord is located under the seat in the cord well. The seat can be locked in place when the bike is charging. The on-board charger is fitted with a cooling fan that runs while recharging. The Enertia can be recharged in any standard wall outlet, 110-240volt 10amp.
The batteries have a long life cycle that are maintenance free. They are extremely safe and can withstand high temperatures without decomposing and, unlike other batteries; their charge can be "topped up" at anytime. For more information please see our specification page. |

It is advised that riders should ride at reduced speeds when carrying cargo. Riders should follow these guidelines whenever cargo or accessories are carried on the Enertia: * Check that both tires are properly inflated. * Adjust the suspension to accommodate the load to be carried by the Enertia. * To prevent loose items from creating a hazard, riders should make sure that all cargo is tied down securely before riding. For more information please see our specification page. |
|

Does the Enertia come with WiFi and GPS?
|
|
|
Not at this time.
|
|
|
What kind of battery does the Enertia use?
|
|
|
The Enertia uses six Lithium Ion Phosphate battery packs that are
assembled by Valence Technologies, Inc. Representing the latest in
battery technology, this battery's chemistry provides both a long life
cycle and inherent safety not found in other Lithium-Ion batteries.
These six individual packs are in constant communication with each
other and the Battery Management System (BMS), making sure all the
battery levels and temperatures are in check.
Battery Pack Capacity: 3.1 kWh. Battery Pack Voltage: 76.8 V(nominal )1. These battery modules use Lithium Phosphate Technology that provide the lithium-ion advantages of high energy, light weight and long cycle life without the fear of a thermal runaway event under abusive conditions. Each of the 6 battery modules contains 4 cell stacks for a total of 24 on board cell stacks. Each cell has a nominal cell voltage of 3.3 volts for a total battery stack voltage of just under 80 volts. Under normal operating conditions, an Enertia's battery modules are rated for 1000's of charge cycles. For more information please see our specification page |

What is the warranty on the Enertia Motorcycle?
|
|
|
If any defect in material or workmanship should be found within the applicable Brammo Inc. warranty period, Brammo's only obligation is to have the defect either repaired or replaced, at Brammo's option, with a new part or the equivalent without charge for parts and labor, at a authorized dealer if such defect is attributable to faulty material or workmanship at the time of manufacture. All parts removed under this limited warranty become the property of Brammo. At Brammo's sole option, warranty service may be made by replacing a larger component of which the defect is part or with the owner's permission by replacing the vehicle. The owner is responsible for any repairs or replacements which are not covered by the limited warranty.
To find out more concerning the warranty, please go to: http://www.brammo.com/documents/brammo-warranty-policy.pdf |
|
|
Can the Enertia be ridden in rainy or cold weather?
|
|
|
The Enertia can be ridden in the same conditions as any other urban motorcycle.
|
|
|
What is the range per charge for the Empulse?
|
|
|
Empulse 6.0 = 60 miles / 96 km
Empulse 8.0 = 80 miles / 128 km Empulse 10.0 = 100 Miles / 160 km For more information please see our specification page |
|
|
How does altitude affect the Empulse?
|
|
|
Not affected by Altitude
|
|
|
What is the replacement cost of the Enertia batteries?
|
|
|
Full set of batteries currently costs about $3600. However, the batteries are rated for 2000 full cycles. (Assuming you commute 5 days every week then they should last about eight years). By which time the batteries will still function to 80% of their original capacity.
|
|
|
What are the specifications of the Enertia Motor?
For more information please see our specification page. |
|
|
High Output Sealed brushless permanent magnet AC. Peak Motor Power is 13 kW @ 4500 rpm. Peak Continuous Current: 80 A. Max Motor Torque: 40 N-m, 29.5 ft-lb @ 0 - 1450 rpm.
|
|
|
What service is recommended by Brammo on my Enertia?
|
|
|
Periodic maintenance of tires and wheels, brake fluid, lights, drive chain, fuses and nuts and bolts are recommended.
|
|
|
Battery Recycling?
|
|
|
Lithium ion batteries are the most recyclable batteries in the world. Many can be re-used in electric wheelchairs after first being used for the Enertia. Beyond that over 90% of the components can be broken down and reused in other ways or they can be kept in their current state to service solar cell energy banks or computer network back-up systems.
|
|
|
Battery Swapping?
|
|
|
At this point, it is not feasible to have a "hot-swappable" battery pack
for the Enertia. The batteries weigh over 80 lbs and are mounted on top
and below the chassis. Removing them requires the removal of the charger and
motor controller first.
|
|
|
Battery Maintenance?
|
|
|
The Lithium-Ion Phosphate modules that are used on the Enertia are maintenance free. Aside from normal charging there is no other maintenance to perform on the battery modules. The Maintenance Schedule requires Battery inspection every 4000 miles. This is a visual inspection to verify that all battery modules are secure, the battery cable bolts are tight, and that all modules are properly charged and balanced.
By following the tips below, one can assure long life and high performance of the Enertia's Battery Modules: * Operate the Enertia at temperatures below 104F (40C), charge at temperatures between 32F (0C) and 113 F (45C). * Cell balance as often as possible. Battery module variability and environmental conditions can cause slight stat of charge imbalances between cells. After the normal charge cycle (batteries charged to 99%), cell balancing starts. During cell balancing the battery modules, BMS and charger attempt to perfectly match all the cell voltages. Leaving your Enertia powered up in charge mode with A/C power connected will maximize the battery modules' performance when not in use. * Charge battery modules fully prior to long term storage. * Charge battery modules fully if the Enertia has been stored for more than three (3) months. * For optimal performance the Enertia should be left to charge overnight on a regular basis. |

|
Regenerative Braking?
|
|
|
The bike is setup to freewheel rather than to use regenerative braking; however a small amount of regen is automatically applied during this time.
|
|
|
cc comparison
|
|
|
The Enertia is roughly comparable to a 250cc gas motorcycle.
