Brammo's electric cruiser

Prototype revealed in investment bid

ELECTRIC bike maker Brammo has revealed this sketch of a new cruiser model in a bid for investment on a crowd-funding website.

The image appeared in the firm's pitch on the website EarlyShares.com, where investors are asked for a minimum of $25,000 (£15,258). It was shown alongside other models under the heading 'Production vehicles and prototypes'.

It's not a production model – so we guess it must be a prototype.

Called the eCruiser, it would compete with Harley-Davidson's first electric offering, the Livewire.

The picture has been removed from EarlyShares but can still be found on a Google cached page.

Also shown is the Engage, a motocrosser which Brammo is taking pre-production orders for, a prototype scooter called the Ent, first revealed in 2009, and production models the Empulse and Enertia.
