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.

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...

Looks pretty gay, especially with the bungie-cord looking chain and trailer wheels.

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.

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.

Who could possibly think that "Enertia" would be a good name for a motorcycle?

I suppose they'll hire PeeWee Herman for a spokesman, too.

$11,995 ... WOW!

I can see, maybe, $995 worth of parts, less battery and motor. So in other words, a battery and electric driven motor costs ???.

This is a BIG profit bike!
