We present the exact solution of a Brownian inchworm model of a self-propelled elastic dimer which has recently been proposed in [K. V. Kumar \textit{et al}, Phys. Rev. E \textbf{77}, 020102(R) (2008)] as a unifying model for the propulsion mechanisms of DNA helicase, polar rods on a vibrated surface, crawling keratocytes, and Myosin VI.
