RARE ELECTRIC BIKE:
Brammo Empulse TTX, One of only three of these privateer bikes ever sold outside of the factory for the race team to show. The race version helped the team win a number of Championships in the few short years that Brammo was the leader in the electric bike industry.

Includes all three team members autographs on the tank, Shelina Moreda (pro racer & model), Shane Turpin, Eric Bostrum and the technician. Shelia Moreda rode the bike in a race against Airplanes at the Lehigh Valley Air Show. Eric Bostrum rode it as a guest coach at a Ducati Track Day. The bike has about 205 miles on it.

The Brammo comes with all the merchandising items from the original purchase, as well as a storage crate and computers and tools to tune it.

The bike competed in and won the AHRMA historic motorcycle race, it was the only time it ever raced and was part of the electric race bike category in the production class.

Hoho yeah I saw that on facebook just now too that should be in some kind of musuem.  Starts at $15k!  That's a good deal if I think about it.  The bike alone is worth more than $15k with all the ohlins suspension and racing bits.

Pretty neat that it comes with the tablet to connect to the bike. I've only found one other person who knows of a still working tablet and he's the guy who stunts the bike in the Cirque du solei shows . I myself just picked up a helmet signed by Eric Bostrum... Pretty cool

Hmm interesting it looks as if the TTX has an offboard charger.  It has a box with the an EVSE on it and then there are these very large power cables.  Makes total sense on a racebike to not have an onboard charger.  Man would love to have an Empulse track bike PA is so far from California and you'd need to take all that other stuff in the picture you'd need a box truck to cart all that stuff away.
