Electric motorcycle tour demonstrates viability of technology
Press Release
Employees of an Oregon electric-motorcycle builder Brammo went on a 10-day tour, from Detroit to Washington, D.C., to demonstrate to the federal government the viability of their technology.
Their point was to demonstrate that electric motorcycles could be one solution to the country's energy needs. Their route for doing so? The 2008 trip of auto-industry chiefs who took private jets to Washington, D.C., to ask for billions in government aid.
The more than 700-mile ride, conducted by the company's chief engineer and an advertising executive, garnered significant media coverage for the company known as Brammo, which sells its Enertia model for just under $12,000.
