Where are all the Brammo owners?

[sunchaser]

As the subject states, where are all the Brammo owners?  I'm know that there are more than the 5 to 10 people who contribute regularly on this forum who visit the site. 

If you own one of these bikes, or even if you don't and are curious about getting a Brammo or other electric motorcycle, join the forum!  Ask questions and share your experiences.

I moved last year from Kansas City to Arvada, a suburb of Denver. Still own my 2010 Brammo Enertia. Haven't ridden it lately but no plans to sell.

Hello, i'm in the south of FRANCE, in Uzes.
I've got a Brammo Empulse R since 2015.
No error on the bike, but the battery is almost dead (in winter), and i'm looking for solution to build a new battery.
Thanks for the forum !
Regards,
JC

Hi Empulse France, I'm not sure if you're aware but the Empulse battery cells charging is done in a unusual way. Under 13 deg C there is no charging, the current you see on the dash is the cell heaters. Once warmed to 13 deg C there is charging but heaters are only turned off once the cells reach 18 deg C and the full 24 amps in my case is supplied. My bike is stored in an unheated garage, it can take 20 minutes for charging to really start. Also, on a cold day the heaters cut back in whilst you're riding reducing the range slightly. I try not to take mine out below 10 deg C ambient and make sure there is somewhere the add charge to warm the cells if it needs to stand when visiting places. I learned this from the log files.
Hope this helps and it's not a cell issue.

non functioning 2013 Empluse owner in the Seattle Washington Area. See my battery teardown in the Empulse forum.

Own a 2010 Enertia and 2014 Empulse R. Enertia batteries are dead, however, Empulse still running strong.

[Brammofan]

My Enertia is still going strong. At least it was last fall. Hope to take it on a ride soon.

Hi everyone !

I m in Hongkong with my Empulse R 2013. Got another Empulse 2014 (dead) for spare parts from a friend. Might look at rebuilding if I find space or possibly move the bikes to Europe.

[jazz999]

Still riding my 2014 Empulse in 2024 and going strong. Unfortuantely my 2009 Enertia has some battery issues and won't hold a charge.

Hi from switzerland,
I found the Brammo Empulse R in my neigbours garage some month ago when he asked me to move his bike a bit because he did not find the time to. Now its mine.
This forum already helped a lot digging into the usb logging data to check for:
- S56 low Voltage message
- got stranded when SoC went from 16% to 0% in 100 meters (actually it showed multiple errors before)
- digging the BMS & evaluating the battery health by looking at the data
I would love to add a second charger (get to 6kWh) and want to change the type1 charge connector (no very common in Europe).
Also to automatically transfer logging data over wifi and adding it to a database would be nice.
Its a very nice bike, which could benefit from a bit more power but... fair enough I did not even think that such a bike existed 10 years ago.
Needs a bit to get used to, but I guess I'm the right guy for that.
cheers
