Brammo builds in Europe

Electric motorcycle manufacturer Brammo has commenced production in Hungary.



The facility, located in Sàrvàr, is operated by Flextronics, a Singapore-based electronics manufacturing services company. Production capacity is 660 bikes per month, and will focus on the Enertia and Enertia Plus models for distribution in European, Asian and North American markets.

Brian Wismann, Director of Product Development at Brammo, said: “This partnership [with Flextronics] gives Brammo the ability to scale production and access global markets and the benefit of strengthening its reputation as the builder of the world’s finest electric motorcycles.”



With currently only a handful of dealers in the United States, the next big objective for the company will have to be the establishment of networks in other territories to sell its motorcycles. Otherwise it could be sitting on a lot of unsold stock after the Hungarian factory starts running at full volume...



The Brammo Enertia has a range of just 42 miles (67 kilometres), although the more practical Enertia Plus will manage double that. Both are powered by a 17 bhp (13 kW / 17 PS) electric motor that produces 40 Nm (29 lb/ft) of torque and should be good for a top speed of around 60 mph (96 km/h).
