I really liked riding the Enertia. Once you get past the fact that you’re not shifting… there’s no clutch, no shifter. One speed, one gear… GO! Also it makes almost no sound. So while you ride by someone at 30 mph, you can still hear them talking! It’s crazy. I didn’t get to ride it far, maybe a quarter mile before it died. However, we were in this crazy black hole location that was killing all batteries, electronics, etc. So I don’t really blame the machine. Also it was only at 14% battery when I started.
