Research conducted by Brammo with both customers and dealers has driven the development of the Empulse and Empulse R.

To ensure the highest quality performance and design, Brammo works with internationally renowned manufacturers for superior components of their motorcycles.

"It was essential to Brammo to make an excellent motorbike and we believed testimonials to make just that," said Todd Bramsher, CEO and chief executive of Brammo. "From idea to development the Empulse item has progressed quite a bit. We are providing you a different motorbike that guarantees to be more than what our drivers predicted."
The two models vary as follows:
The Empulse body work is all plastic, has semi adjustable front suspension and semi adjustable rear suspension.
The Empulse R uses carbon fiber for headlight shroud, front and rear fenders, top panel and the rear light housing.
Brammo promised that of the first 1000 people who pre ordered an Empulse, one would be selected at random to receive their motorcycle free of charge. Last week from the first 1000 orders six finalists were selected. At the event, Craig Bramscher rolled a dice and Jueiming Chen was the lucky winner.
True to Brammo's devotion to zero tailpipe-emission transportation, the Empulse launch event was carbon-neutral. Brammo has worked with Carbonfund.org to purchase carbon offsets to mitigate the greenhouse emissions generated by transportation, electricity use, and other resource-intensive activities associated with this event.
In additional efforts to reduce travel and carbon intensity of the event, Brammo will stream the launch event live to tens of thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts, who will be able to experience the launch party across the nation and afar in Asia and in Europe.
