Brammo Empulse 8.0

The 2011 Brammo Empulse 8.0 builds on the foundation of the 6.0 model, offering enhanced range and performance in an electric motorcycle package. It shares the same 53.6 horsepower, 59 ft-lbs of torque and 100 mph top speed as the 6.0, providing brisk acceleration and the ability to cruise comfortably at highway speeds. It has what the specs call an automatic gearbox that allows riders to actively manage the power delivery. With a seat height of 31.9 inches, the ergonomics are similar to many conventional sportbikes. The Empulse 8.0 weighs in at 388 pounds, slightly heavier than the 6.0. It features the same high-quality suspension components, including adjustable 43mm inverted front forks, and Nissin four-piston brakes, ensuring capable handling and stopping power. These components contribute to a sporty and engaging riding experience. This model is aimed at riders seeking an electric motorcycle that doesn't compromise on performance or rider involvement. The combination of the automatic gearbox, capable suspension, and strong torque output makes it an appealing option for those who want the benefits of electric power without sacrificing the feel of a traditional motorcycle.
