Post by: Brammofan on August 26, 2013, 07:20:16 AM

Any thoughts about the new edition of the Brammo Empulse R?

If it were my daily commuter, I'd feel duty- bound to race every bike I saw on the streets!

I know some Auburn fans that would like this bike.. : )

I think I saw the helmet at Indy. Airmada, iirc.

I don't care much for the color scheme - too garish for me - but it looks well executed. White and black, red and black, or two shades of red would be nice.

Who says that electric bikes aren't loud?



I actually really like it. It is definitely eye catching enough that people are less likely to turn left in front of you.

Needs more flashy flashers to be perfect.
I love orange!

I was thinking the same thing about my wife's alma mater, University of Illinois.
I also was wondering if it might have anything to do with the preferred color scheme of one of the investors, Alan Wilzig, whose favorite color is orange.

Since it has the specs of a standard Empulse R, I suppose this phrase must refer to something to do with the suspension:

"Additionally, the Spec 32 has race-derived tuning to deliver sharper performance than the standard Empulse R."

Actually my money is on it coming with a different map in the controller and all the parts being the same as the R.  I'm still waiting for a 3-way contoller switch to show up on Brian's bike.  Normal/Sport/EBoz. ;)
