Overview[edit | edit source]
Brammo Empulse LE
Deployment Advantages
The Empulse LE is ideal for deployments where the low sound profile is important, whether it be for tactical or customer service considerations. The lack of emissions allows for the Empulse LE to be used both for outdoor and indoor assignments and in sensitive environments. With a top speed of over 105 mph and a range of 120 miles, the Empulse LE can be used for focused patrols or as a daily traffic enforcement motorcycle.
Rider Advantages
The Empulse LE provides instant torque that allows the officer to quickly overtake vehicles and affect traffic stops safely. The light weight of the Empulse LE and the lack of heat emitted on to the rider, allows for ease of operation and less wear and tear on the rider.
Technological Innovations
The Empulse LE comes with the only production 6-speed transmission in the electric motorcycle industry. Brammo technology allows the rider to use the Empulse LE without using the clutch as well. Simply by leaving the bike in one gear allows the officer to operate the Empulse LE as a direct drive if they so choose.
Highest Quality
The Empulse LE, born from Brammos racing, is equipped with the highest quality components in the industry. Marzocchi fully adjustable forks, Brembo brakes and a Parker GVM IPM Motor provide a high quality riding experience that is powered by Brammos patented and industry leading battery technology.
