It looks like electric-motorcycle company Brammo just found a way for potential customers to get access to some of the juice.
Brammo has reached an agreement for North Carolina-based Sheffield Financial to provide financing for prospective customers looking to buy Brammo electric motorcycles at U.S. dealerships.
Sheffield Financial, a division of BB&T Corp., will provide customer financing at dealers in all 50 states, Oregon-based Brammo said in a statement Wednesday. Sheffield provides financing for customers at more than 30,000 dealers of trailers and powersports vehicles across the country, and has supplied more than $6 billion in loans during the past two decades.
Brammo, which makes electric-bike models such as the Encite, Enertia, Empulse and Engage, last fall received a $28 million equity infusion from powersports vehicle maker Polaris Industries, which also owns neighborhood-electric vehicle maker Global Electric Motorcars (GEM).
And last November, Brammo got word that the Hong Kong government would replace some of its gas-powered motorcycles with the Brammo Enertia Plus LE, a police version of Brammo's battery-electric motorcycle. That bike has an 80-mile single-charge range. Jackie Chan's JCAM Advanced Mobility Company is distributing the motorcycles to the Hong Kong government on behalf of Brammo.
