Electric motorcycle company Brammo, Inc., and S.M.R.E. Engineering, a leading engineering research and development company, have entered into a strategic partnership. As a part of this agreement, Brammo has acquired an exclusive international license for S.M.R.E.’s patented Integrated Electric Transmission (IET). IET enables Brammo to offer its electric motorcycles with a 6-speed transmission, further improving performance and range.
The IET is a mechatronic propulsion unit that emulates the feeling and performance of a traditional internal combustion engine, with a specially developed electric motor, clutch and gear shift that enables Brammo motorcycles to accelerate hard from the line up to a high top speed.
The first application of the new IET will be on the Brammo Engage and Encite, which will be unveiled prior to competing in the MiniMotoSX race in Las Vegas on Friday.
Brammo announced four new models, all featuring the IET and swappable Brammo Power battery packs:
- Engage MX (dirt bike competing in MiniMotoSX), anticipated price $9,995
- Engage SMR (Super Moto Racing), anticipated price $9,995
- Engage SMS (Super Moto Street), anticipated price $11,995
- Encite MMX PRO (mini dirt bike competing in MiniMotoSX), no price announced
Prices do not include relevant taxes or Federal and State electric vehicle incentives.
