Hi, I've ridden my first 100mls on the Empulse R I imported sight unseen. First time I saw one of HadesOmega videos I felt I had to look for one of those bikes. Great vids by the way. Just watched the oil change one, was horrified at the old oil. What did the oil look like on the second change?
The Brammo feels futuristic to ride with the low speed whine. The gearbox does add to the involvement, however with so much torque available I'm not sure I feel the need. 2nd in town, 4th/5th on the open road.
I sit more in the bike, than on it. I'm 5ft 10in. More Ducati than Zero SR. That said, I will fit the Puig Rafale screen I have currently on my aprillia shiver. Should look great and offer some range/aero benefits.
The suspension is compliant and feels high end. Roads are too wet for anything exciting. I'm seeing around 140wh/ml at 50 to 55mph(7kW), so a little more than I hoped for, battery heaters were on though! Range 60mls?
I can charge at level 2 at home, same plug type 1 as my phev. I've charged twice, for 20mins ea. off the 6.6kw posts we have here in the UK just to see. No issues and 24amps, same as home. Changing the time from European to UK also changed dash from metric to Imperial. That was the 'how to' question I had that lead me to this site!!
All for now Nigel
