Empulse – game changer.
Finally, Brammo’s getting the recognition it deserves. The recognition I give it day-in, day-out. So, instead of writing my own rapturous review of the Empulse, (which will be coming, soon), I’m going avoid further diluting the Empulse pool and will just keep tally of the sites that are currently falling all over themselves, covering the new bike(s). Oh, and I’m sharing my picture album “Empulse”, which I’ll also be updating with new pics of the bike.

I NEED THIS BIKE!!!!
Seriously, this is the bike I’ve been waiting for; good to great range, real highway usability, seriously cool styling. I’m going to start saving for this one… It really is a direct replacement for my aging Yamaha Seca II, except that it’ll probably accelerate faster, and definitely look cooler.
Serious kudos to Brian Wisman on the styling; it’s nice to see someone figure out how to make electrics look cool, without having to hide the ‘guts’. I grew out of plastic-covered sportbikes long ago. Fairings are expensive to fix, even when the bike tips over in a parking lot.
A question I’ve been thinking about since reading the press release; I wonder if someone could buy the 6.0, and later upgrade the battery pack, say in a couple of years? Figuring out an exchange/credit program for batteries, and upgradeable range, etc. would make the machine even more like the ‘consumer electronics’ Mr. Bramscher has mentioned in interviews.
Seriously, this machine is a real game-changer. Bravo, Team Brammo!

Good question, Eric. I just posted it over on the Brammo Owners Forum and we’ll see if we get any nibbles: http://brammoforum.com/index.php?topic=248.0

You missed the Fast Company link: http://www.fastcompany.com/1670441/first-peek-brammos-faster-longer-riding-electric-empulse
Not really a review, but a preview. I like your slideshow.

Yikes! It’s fixed now. Thanks for catching that. Yours was one of the first ones that came out, and the only one that mentioned “ethonomical.” Gotta love that.
