The part I don’t fully understand is that most bikes already get 50mpg fuel efficiency, and for a lot less money than $12,000. Or maybe it’s that I just love my BMW R1200RT.

You’re already buying TVs, washing machines, cheap keyboards and cell phones at Best Buy, why not a $12,000 electric motorcycle? That seems to be the thinking going on at Brammo HQ, where an infusion of cash from Best Buy’s investment arm last year has now led to plans to sell the $11,995 Enertia at five West Coast Best Buy stores in May. Okay, sure, but we’re way less optimistic about plans to let the Geek Squad handle basic repairs and maintenance — we don’t let those fools near our laptops, god forbid Pimples McUpsell touch something that could actually kill us. Eventually Brammo wants to sell bikes at every Best Buy location around the world, but we’ll see how this initial test works out.
