Feeling hopeful that we hear something this month*....but I could be ever so wrong.

Gavin


*and by "something" I'm kinda hoping on final specs and delivery dates and such...oooo, maybe a special edition collaboration with Icon?

It could end up being a great month for EV fans with Tesla unveiling the Model X on the 8th and hopefully some good news from Brammo on production dates and such

Even a clue as to when an announcement would be works for me :/

Noticed the Empulse threads have gotten a bit stale with the last post almost 2 weeks ago...

Only thing to discuss in the absence of new information from Brammo are products other manufacturers are planning and producing.

We are about to announce a new hire in this area so I will make sure Peter is aware of your desire for more frequent glimpses behind the scenes...his appointment will include a short "raw video" clip so hopefully you will see this as a small step in the right direction....

Well, it's been almost two weeks. Hopefully Peter is cooking up something special for us and will be showing it off soon. It may not be any real information, but at the very least it should give us something to talk about (and drool over, if you're so inclined).
;D

Edit:
Oh wait a minute. I just realized that this video showed up last week (Jan 26)


So what I should really be saying is "Keep up the good work!"

Poking the bear.

Me: @BrammoSays Preorder would-be customers of 18+ months should see a newsletter update this month, yes? : ) Maybe final specs?

Brammo: @protomech We will have updates for you soon. It's going to be a great year.

Wonder if soon means February.

Well I retweeted Protomech's tweet... even tweeted a few of my own questions from time to time... I have never gotten a response from Brammo.  :-\ they really know how to make a guy feel like chopped liver... I kid... mostly. ;)

BTW Nice pic Gavin.

I E-mailed Brammo directly from the link on their website. It took a month or so for them to get back to me. I appreciate the response but it did not contain any more information than I could get from this forum. In response to my question about release dates for Empulse they said during the 2012 riding season. It wouldn't help me if they are talking the California riding season and I don't see a bike in the Midwest until October. That would make the first 6 months of my warranty garage time.

Many of us have questions that will not be answered by Brammo at this time. We also seek new Brammo news night and day to stay up-to-date on the latest information. The actual release date is big news and it will be posted here within hours of it being official.

If you pre-ordered the Empluse, rumor has it, that a newsletter will be send out soon. We will post any new information it contains.

I hope they keep up the communication.  Too many people have made or are considering the change to the dark side.  ;)

Another thing: I hope that if they are considering a video-streaming launch that they don't make the same mistake that Tesla did when they tried to do this on their Model X launch.  So many people were trying to watch it that their servers crashed.

I suggest that they use their Google + account and the "Hangout" feature.  I doubt they'd end up crashing Google's servers.

Thats a damn good idea... perhaps they could use the barammoforum.com server to host the video! ;) I will say that I have been super bummed about the lack of news lately, hopefully we hear big news, SOON. BTW, who uses Facebook anymore now that google+ is available...  ::)
