Want.QuoteHe said it was fine, as long as I wasn't selling them.
Well, you could give them away for free with the purchase of an autographed picture of yourself for $25.
And trying to explain to others why you have a permanent Brammogrin (tm) on your face at all times.
More to your question: just give yourself a few hundred miles to get used to its differences:
> Don't use the clutch when stopping or starting. Ever.
> Don't depend on motor sound for shifting: the motors is happiest between 4000 and 5000 rpm. Shift when you see the tach get in that range, and eventually your ears and body will begin to sense that point without needing to watch the tachometer.
> Most of us upshift without the clutch: Load the shift lever with upward pressure, back off the throttle, and it will go into gear quickly and smoothly.
> To avoid a mechanical "clunk" upon take off, just roll back a little bit after stopping.
> When starting up the bike, don't touch the throttle until the green lights are doing their dance; otherwise you throw a fault an have to start over.
> For better mileage, get in the habit of checking your mirrors and backing off on the throttle long before you need to stop when it's safe to do so, so you capture regen electrons and save your brake pads.
> Trust the bike's ability to track in corners: it's really really smooth and predictable.
> Consider printing up some fact sheets to educate interested bystanders and save your time when you don't feel like talking for 15 minutes.
Any advices for a beginner from the lucky U.S. guys that get it first?
You're a beginner on motorcycles, or just electric motorcycles? The Empluse would be a little bit daunting as a first bike!
Other than that, just be prepared to spend a lot of time talking to people about it, pretty much all the time, everywhere you go.
Hi Seal, Welcome!
I am also a European waiting for my Empulse (non-R). I wonder who will have it first .
I was hoping that Brammo would have shipped some using Air Force One with this week's visit of Obama in my back yard. But he did not bring any unfortunately
I guess I'll need to be a little more patient...
I heard the boat is on its way though!
Once you go EV, gas is history!
