Victory Motorcycles has introduced first street-legal all-electric motorcycle, the Empulse TT. Based on Brammo’s Empulse R street bike, the 2016 Empulse TT has similar specs as the Empulse R but restyled and rebranded. It features a sport bike-style aluminum beam-frame, fully adjustable suspension with an inverted front fork and a single rear shock, and aggressive brakes and lightweight cast aluminum wheels, with a smart combination of high-end technology and stylish, modern design.
The 2016 Victory Empulse TT sports an electric motor mated to a 6-speed gearbox with multi-plate, hydraulic activated wet clutch, providing 54 Hp and 61 pound-feet of torque. The motor is powered by a Li-ion battery with an output of 10.4 kWh. The Victory Empulse TT features dual ride mode: Eco for everyday riding and SportĀ for high-performance riding, and has a top speed of over 100 mph (160 km/h).
The battery can be fully charged in under 4 hours with a Stage 2 charger – available as an accessory-, or you can charge it using a regular household 120V outlet that will take 8 hours for full charge. The battery is enough for a range of about 65 miles.
The 2016 Empulse TT comes equipped with LCD data display that features a speedometer, tachometer, gear indicator, and clock. It also displays the battery level and provides an estimate of remaining riding range.
The Victory Empulse TT electric motorcycle is scheduled to hit US dealerships later this year, with an MSRP starting at US$19,999.
