Email time....4/9/2012---EMPULSE NEWS
« on: April 09, 2012, 06:36:07 PM »
Dear Gavin,

We are proud to announce that we will be revealing the production version of the much anticipated Brammo Empulse on May 8th, 2012. The launch event will take place in Los Angeles and will be webcast live to all pre-order customers. Since the Empulse concept was first revealed, a vast amount of development and testing has taken place and we are confident that you will be delighted with the ground-breaking electric motorcycle we are about to reveal. On April 18th we will announce full specifications of this exciting milestone in the evolution of motorcycling, giving you every opportunity to become familiar with the Empulse before seeing it for the first time on May 8th.

Electric motorcycle racing is an integral part of our lives here at Brammo and our experience and championship record on the track has played a critical role in the evolution of the Empulse from concept to production. Professional racers have had a hand in the development of the Empulse and they will be sharing their Empulse riding experiences and impressions with you at the reveal on May 8th.

Follow this link and learn more about the Empulse and its roots in Brammo's racing heritage.

If you have questions about the Brammo Empulse simply email empulse@brammo.com for an answer.

The Brammo Team

Dang....May 8th is my first and only grandchild's very 1st birthday...

I could fly to LA, have a pretty cool time and then return home where I would pretty much instantly lose my tackle and bits....or I can stay in ABQ and celebrate my granddaughters first birthday....

mmmm, tough one, but I think I better stay in town

Just showed up on FB, with a new video.

Edit: the link to the video is in the newsletter, I hate when emails come after checking them for the day :P

Things learned from video:
At 0:41, It is on the dyno (red), This makes me SMILE! Fast Shifts and love the sound!
At 1:13, new version with what looks to be room for 2 up on dyno (green).
At 1:27, New battery pack, BPM 15/90 (different than the Enertia+ BMP 44/70), 36 Li-Ion cells, able to heat and cool itself (according to the video) and "unparalleled energy density", MORE INFO!




Brammo Fast Forward

If they released all that 2 days earlier like they promised, I would feel a little bit less of an a**...  :-[

Anyway, maybe if it wasn't for the rant, they might have kept it under wraps until April 18th... Or so I will believe just to make me feel better  ::)...


Solid dates, which I expect them to keep, specific info about the info they will release and a cool video to go with it... I think someone has been listening  ;D

Apparently protomech was right the whole time, the battery pack was the "x" behind the delay.

Everything looks really good, I just wonder if the price will be within reach of those who signed up for the Empulse 6.0...

And the reveal will be just before my birthday!  :D Maybe by next May I will be riding one.

Great video.  I just keep hitting replay.

Are we looking at something new at ~2:13?  Or is my imagination just running all over the place?

Well, the Empulse looks to be everything that we hoped and maybe even more.  But, I sure will be interested in seeing what the price of the bike will be. There is a lot of technology and premium parts on that bike. I will not be surprised if the price of the 10.0 is very close to $20,000 - assuming that Brammo plans on selling them for a profit.
current bikes: 2018 16.6 kWh Zero S, 2011 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Classic, 2009 BMW F650GS, 2007 BMW R1200R, 2005 Triumph T-100 Bonneville, 2002 Yamaha FZ1 and a 1978 Honda Kick 'N Go Senior.

That looks to be the top down right side view of the "tank" with some artistic shadowing, could be wrong.

Looks like a different "tank" and seat set up than the "old" Empulse

We have our first shadowy teaser

Hopefully more to follow

Can I get a couple of those batteries in a Plus?

Interesting that the Brammo bull is upside-down on the new "tank"

We are all dissecting the video and this is what we have been needing for a while!
