Overview

Introducing the 2015 Brammo Empulse, a cutting-edge electric motorcycle that embodies the spirit of the naked bike category while pushing the boundaries of sustainable performance. With an eye-catching design available in vibrant colors like red, black, yellow, and silver, the Empulse stands out not just for its aesthetics but also for its pioneering technology. As electric motorcycles gain traction in the market, the Empulse represents a bold statement—proving that eco-friendly transportation can deliver the exhilarating riding experience that enthusiasts crave. At the heart of the Brammo Empulse lies a robust electric engine that delivers an impressive 53.64 horsepower and a stunning 90 Nm of torque. This powerful electric motor allows riders to reach a top speed of 160.9 km/h (100 mph), making it a formidable competitor on both urban streets and winding roads. The sophisticated 6-speed gearbox and multi-plate, hydraulic activated wet clutch enhance the riding dynamics, allowing for smooth gear transitions and responsive acceleration. The liquid cooling system ensures that the engine maintains optimal performance, while the regenerative braking system cleverly recharges the battery during deceleration, adding to the bike's impressive range of 125 km. The Brammo Empulse is not just about heart-pounding performance; it also showcases an array of innovative features designed for comfort and convenience. Crafted with a lightweight extruded and welded aluminum frame, the Empulse not only boasts a sleek profile but also serves as an integral battery tray—an engineering marvel that is patent-pending. The suspension system, featuring adjustable preload and rebound settings, provides riders with the ability to fine-tune their ride for maximum comfort and control. Coupled with powerful braking components from Nissin and Brembo, the Empulse ensures that stopping power is as impressive as its acceleration. **

Pros

  • Impressive Performance: With 53.64 HP and 90 Nm of torque, the Empulse offers exhilarating acceleration and a top speed of 100 mph.
  • Sustainable Riding: Electric powertrain reduces emissions, and regenerative braking enhances range and efficiency.
  • Innovative Design: Lightweight aluminum frame and advanced suspension offer agility and comfort while maintaining a sleek aesthetic.

Cons

  • Limited Range: While 125 km is adequate for daily commutes, longer rides may require planning around charging stations.
  • Charging Time: The onboard charger takes approximately 8 hours to fully recharge, which may be inconvenient for some riders.
  • Weight Distribution: At 190.5 kg (420 lbs), the Empulse may feel heavy for some riders, especially in tight maneuvers or during low-speed handling.
