BRAMMO has launched what it claims to be the world’s fastest electric motorcycle in serial production with the introduction of the 2014 Empulse and Empulse R.
The 2014 Empulse is an evolution of the 2013 model and retains a unique water-cooled motor, six-speed gearbox and integrated J1772 rapid charging. With a claimed top speed of 110mph and a 3kW onboard charger means the Brammo Empulse is the world’s fastest electric motorcycle in serial production, both riding and charging.
Brian Wismann, Head of Product Development at Brammo, said: “The 2014 Empulse represents a huge effort by the engineering team at Brammo to further refine and reduce the platform’s weight for the bike’s second model year. We’ve ensured that the bike is ready for its European launch with additional testing and certifications required for the EU market. All the hard work will be worth it when the first customer in Europe twists the throttle and gets their first ’EV grin.’”
Changes to the Empulse for 2014 include battery brackets that secure the Brammo Power 15/90 battery packs being redesigned and nickel plated. There is a redesigned LCD dash, which displays a wide range of riding metrics including: battery SOC (State-of-Charge), road speed, motor speed, odometer, energy use, gear position, battery status, estimated range, and system status.
The 2014 Empulse has changed to a tapered aluminium handlebar with oversized clamp diameter, manufactured by Accossato in Italy specifically for the Empulse R, and there is a change of tyres to Continental SportAttack 2.
Two new colours are being introduced, standard for the Empulse R and optional for the Empulse. In addition to True Blood Red and Eclipsed Black, customers can now select Maillot Jaune Yellow and Neodymium Silver Metallic, while the lower body panel now sports a white Brammo logo to make identification even easier.
During 2014 the Empulse and Empulse R will become available in the United States, Canada, Europe (including the United Kingdom), and in Asia.
