Electric motorcycle manufacturer Brammo took the wraps off the 2011 Enertia Plus bike, and some very good news has reached our ears. According to an official statement from the manufacturer, their bikes wil be used by the Hong Kong government for some of its agencies.
The bike you see in the picture is the 2012 Enertia Plus LE, which has been modified for use by the law enforcement agencies. The new electric bike features the new Brammo Power Lithium-Ion battery technology, which enables it to travel up to 80 miles (128 km) on a single charge.
