Video: riding the Brammo Empulse
Back in August, I got to be the first outsider to hoon the new Brammo Empulse R. That was a big deal, because the bike is sort of a watershed moment for electrics, being the first production machine to realize the potential of the power source.

Brammo Empulse: the electric motorcycle has finally arrived
Electric motorcycles: slow, boring, short ranges, expensive. When I flew up to Oregon last week to ride the Brammo Empulse I expected a good bike.

Brammo does Thunderhill in 3D
Like electric motorcycles? Own a pair of 3D glasses? Love wind noise overlaid with environmental elecro? You’re in luck then, Brammo’s captured an onboard riding video of factory racer Steve Atlas piloting the Empulse RR around Thunderhill in 3D. Even if you don’t have the glasses and are prepared to put up with the red and blue ghosting, the video’s pretty neat. http://www.youtube.com/...
