Those with a highly refined editorial cynicism might also wonder, if only briefly, whether the company doesn't even know how to spell "inertia," oops. Maybe the en- prefix in Enertia is supposed to invoke (envoke?) "energy," but, perhaps already influenced (enfluenced?) by the connotation of inertness, I was just as inclined to read into it the idea of "enervating." But then, that might be the intention (entention?), as you say: it's about the opposite of excitement, right? Haha. Right on.

The Enertia actually looks pretty cool--I just don't like the name (which is my job!). Feel free to send along any other facts about the bike that you think might be of interest.

Happy to provide actual facts about the Enertia (i.e. top speed is 60mph). And, for the record, Brian now rides through the mountain roads around Ashland, Oregon on his Ducati Monster. Funny stuff.
