While the Italians and Spaniards are representative in Europe of the interest in motocross and offroad motorcycles, the Americans are actually the ones who are more readily pioneering the electric motocross scene.
With summer coming up, it’s time for the new offroad releases from various companies, and one that we probably won’t be seeing much of around these traps is the Brammo Engage.
That’s a shame really, because we quite like checking out these emerging electric bikes, and the Engage is another from the Brammo range, after the Enertia and Empulse.
It uses a new technology called Integrated Electric Transmission, which is a specialised six-speed transmission designed specifically for the electric bike.
Not all the details of the Brammo Engage have been released yet, although it is available for pre-order and is expected to use another technological first for the company in the form of regenerative braking.
The Brammo Engage models are: Engage MX dirt bikeEngage SMR Supermotard trackEngage SMS Supermotard roadEngage MMX pro dirt bikePrices range from 9,995 USD to 11,995 and are estimates only at this stage.
