Brammo drops Price

The Enertia Plug :ELECTRIFIED: In Electric Motorcycle

Now $7,995
The 33% savings is a direct result of engineering advances
      BRAMMO, maker of plug-in electric motorcycles, announced today it is dropping the price of the all-electric BRAMMO Enertia powercycle, to $7,995. Customers are also eligible for a 10% federal income tax credit, further reducing the price to $7,195.

"While this pricing breakthrough is innovative in transportation, it is in line with consumer electronics, where engineering and production advances get passed on to customers as quickly as possible to stimulate adoption of the technology," stated Craig Bramscher, founder and CEO of Brammo. "The Enertia is consumer electronics that you can ride and BRAMMO's engineers are able to deliver a better value proposition to customers sooner than a traditional transportation company."

Today, qualified customers can walk into select Best Buy stores and with a $2,000 down payment, ride out on an Enertia for $249 a month with 24-month no interest with payments financing offered through Best Buy. The Enertia can also be purchased direct from www.BRAMMO.com in select states where the product is not yet available at a Best Buy.

The BRAMMO Enertia powercycle is the ideal commuter vehicle as it blends an exhilarating ride experience with environmental consciousness and low operating costs. The Enertia has a top speed of over 60 mph, has a range of 42 miles and charges in about four hours by plugging into a standard wall outlet--all while using less than a dollar in electricity per 100 miles ridden.

"With this price reduction Brammo has positioned electric vehicles for the mass market and consumers can now be part of a solution to the transportation crises that America is facing," said Bramscher. "The wait is over, consumers can now buy an EV that is price competitive with a gas burning alternative and enjoy reduced maintenance and substantially lower ownership costs."

Fans and media can follow Brammo on Twitter @BrammoSays and on its Facebook fan page, Brammo Powercycles.

At Crazy Craig’s Emporium of Enertias . . .
..........the Brammos are selling like hotcakes. Provided, however, that you’re talking about a hotcake that once sold for $12,000 and which just got $4,000 slashed off its price tag.

The more I thought about yesterdays stunning 33% price cut on Brammo Enertias, the more it sounded like one of those “Mad Mike’s Bargain Barn of Values” types of moves. ”Mike’s gone MAD, slashing prices right and left!”

Except, of course, Mad Mike doesn’t usually have to convince serious investors like Best Buy that his insanity has a purpose. Or that current profit margins are enough to sustain an adequate return on investment when the sales numbers increase and . . . Okay. I’m not fooling anybody here. I slept through the only Business course I ever took in college.

My point is that Crazy Craig may indeed be crazy . . . like a fox. He’s no stranger to calculated risks: He quit selling gas guzzling supercars that were providing he and his company with plenty of profits, and decided to produce an electric motorcycle. Now, with the investors that were required to reach this point, he has to justify these risks. Think those investors are keen on losing money? Or on waiting until some indefinite point in the future to possibly start making money? Not likely.

I only mention this “craziness” because it’s about the only negative comment I’ve been able to unearth, following the pricing announcement yesterday. I’ve been scouring forums and blogs and twitter during the past 24 hours. Plenty of comments sounded like this: “Been waiting for the Enertia to come down in price before I made the decision to buy. This clinched it.”

Still, you have to wonder, do a few comments here and there result in actual sales?

My super-secret source, deep within the bowels of the Brammowerks, suggests that all signs point to “yes.”

I can confirm a surge in web traffic and orders both via the web and from walk-ins to Best Buy.

Most customers will be able to ride away with a bike…..currently no one is waiting more than 48 hours.

So there you have it. If you don’t want to have to wait too long, better get off that fence. I seriously doubt there will be any “Black Friday” specials coming out of Ashland, Oregon this year.

makes it much more attractive to buy - I think the two problems with electric at the moment are range and price - if they can tackle one of them then it is going to generate more interest and the other should follow
