Valence is a POS penny stock company that is due to be delisted by the NASDAQ, just in case anybody was wondering.

“Enertia accelerates from 0 to 30 mph (48 kph) in 3.8 seconds.”
Not a speed most MC enthusiasts want. Definitely not a speed electric motors are capable of. A golf cart can do that!

We believe consumers are eager to adopt vehicles that have a fraction of the carbon footprint of a today’s cars. People like to BS about the environment, but what they want is to drive around in their big gas guzzling tanks, not some electric donorcycle.

Are their batteries basically obsolete because of the nano-scale lithium-ion battery technology?

They certainly don’t want to pay $12,000 for the privilege.

I doubt it. Valence has been a laggard for many years.

Of course with a cool motorcycle like this, you must wear the proper attire - polka-dotted clothes, a red nose, a bowtie that squirts water and big floppy shoes...

A123Systems is mass-producing and commercializing the nano-scale Li-ion batteries, in DeWalt tools for starters. Is Valance using similar tech?

Looks pretty gay, especially with the bungie-cord looking chain and trailer wheels.
To: Red Badger
Great news! This one looks a little pricey but it will probably come down with time. The main cost must be the battery. I like the style of that bike as well.
A lot of people around the world commute on small motorbikes to work.

So, those ingredients in those batteries are all “green”? And that electricity all comes from “green” sources?
Current electrical / hybrid technology just moves the problem... it doesn’t fix it.

45 MPG - HWY, 33 MPG - City. BRAMMO.

Brammo Motorsports announced the Enertia, the worlds first production zero-emissions battery-powered plug-in electric motorcycle. Dumb Scammers.
And just WHAT charges the batteries? The local coal-burning power plant? Nuclear, from the Grid? And what are the fuel and energy requirements for making the batteries in the first place?
Unless something is being charged by solar cells or wind, nothing is "Zero Emission".
At last, a company founded on renormed SAT scores.

There ya go right there.
Nobody,but nobody is going to pay $12,000 dollars for a toy that only goes 45 miles on a 3 hour charge and reaches the fantastic speed of 50 mph.
Any good motor scooter costing around 4 grand will outperform that and with gas mileage of up to 90 mpg the gas is cheaper than the electricity required to charge this thing.
If this is the best they can do they can save themselves a lot of money and close down now.

top speed of more than 50 mph (80 kph). The range of the Enertia is 45 miles (72.4 km), and it requires 3 hours to fully recharge. Yep, a glorified moped. I couldn't even drive it to work and get home.
