Will that affect delivery dates...vs a software release...

As in...is it new hardware (time and money) or tweaking and software (quicker and can be uploaded after the bike is in my eager little hands)....

Thanks

Gavin

Ah... should've worded that better.  There's a soft limit setting in the software of the motor controller right now.  It's just a matter of testing with the limit raised and releasing the final configuration to production.  Everything is on schedule.  No delays.  With road loads, which are slightly less than the medium dyno load, you'll see 67 mph top speed even if we're not successful with the testing (which is unlikely).  The bike is pretty potent from about 30mph up to it's top speed.  I rode this bike on our Friday lunch ride yesterday and the performance improvement is quite noticeable.  It feels like an Enertia that's grown a pair of... well, you get the idea.

Some nice studio shots of the bike in final configuration headed your way soon as our FVP (Final Validation Prototype) just returned from the photo studio. Trivia Factoid: Enertia Plus will share turn signals with the production Empulse (and they look gooooooood).

Wasn't the rear shock changing from an Elka in the Enertia to a Works Performance in the Enertia + ?
