It's by Susan Carpenter:
Electric motorcycle has Hollywood debut

There is a video on that page - can't be embedded here...yet. Go take a look.

machone:
0-60 in.............5 seconds!!

So really we're looking at an Yamaha RD350 or slow 400s for off the line comparisons?

Where did you get that 0-60 number from?

protomech:
0-60 time is stated by BrammoBrian in the LA Times video (go to about 2:10 in).

It's about as fast or a bit faster than my GS500 (which was no sport bike). Actually quite a bit faster if you didn't dump the clutch. Wonder if you can do that on the Empulse.

Richard230:
That is the best video report I have yet seen for the Empulse R.  I must say that the bike has a much larger radiator than I had expected. Brammo must need to get rid of a lot of heat at the bike's top speed.
