So I ran across this picture on an old May 2011 blog.  I can't tell if this is a photoshop, or an actual image of the Empulse with a seat for a 2nd rider.  I don't remember seeing this before, does anyone know more about it?

I tried to upload the photo, but failed.  Click the linkie if you want to see what I'm talking about.

At first, I was skeptical, and then I looked up close and saw passenger pegs. That seems like a tiny perch for a passenger. Obviously not designed for the US market. ;)

Am I missing something? Or maybe Brammo asked The Txchnologist to change the picture?  All I see is the completely stock Empulse with one set of pegs and definitely no extra seat room.  The only thing that looks somewhat like a passenger seat is the black plastic bulge of the brake light

I don't think there are passenger pegs, just the aggressive foot peg position of the original empulse.

+1 there is no place to mount passenger pegs. I much prefer to endanger only  my own life with a motorcycle. So, one seat is best for me.

I think you are right.  From the angle on the picture, I thought at first it looked like a seat pad or something stretched all the way from the back of the seat to the back of the bike.  Now that I compare it to other pictures, I think it's just the brake light plastic, with all the details blocked out by the angle of the shot and the lighting.

Oh well.
