Victory Motorcycles has made a new page with the unveiling of its first all-electric motorcycle. The 2016 Empulse TT is a street-legal electrostatic street on Brammo empulse in the electric market follows based R. entry of the company's successful participation in the 2015 Isle of Man TT Zero race, where his Empulse powered racing proved to be the fastest US electric motorcycle.

Electric motorcycle Business Oregon-based Brammo was purchased in January of Victory parent company, Polaris Industries, so that common sense dictates that it is a matter of time before an electric motorcycle would either win or Indian arise - or maybe both. Finally, it was Harley-Davidson, which had first bled with her Livewire Project. Now that the production version of the electric HD has officially shelved Polaris has an opportunity to take the initiative.
Empulse TT is effectively a rebadged Brammo Empulse R. The naked electric sportbike has a twin-spar aluminum frame, fully adjustable suspension with an inverted fork and a single shock absorber, dual disc brakes on the front and lightweight cast aluminum wheels all around. One notable difference to the Brammo model is the change from 180 to 160-section rear tire.

It is powered by a permanent magnet alternating current induction electric motor, reaching 54 hp (40.3 kW) and 61 ft-lb (80.7 Nm). The power source is a Brammo Power Li-ion battery with a capacity of 10.4 kWh; a marginal increase over the 10.2 kWh of 2014 Empulse R. It compared to 3.9 hours for a full charge with a Phase 2 charger, which is available as an accessory. With Phase 1 charger, the same process must be 8 hours.
These output figures are a far cry from the 150 hp This engine providing 2015 Isle of Man TT Zero was trim (the obvious inspiration in naming the Empulse TT) in the race.
Victory Electrical Product Manager Joshua Katt describes empulse TT as "versatile bike that can be used for impression sporty seat or as casual commuters" - this is a road, motorcycle, and as such, must be charged under practical requirements. Even if it is able, top speeds of over 100 mph (160 km / h), it must have a viable range on a single charge to deliver. Victory informs us that the Empulse TT battery is sufficient for a range of approximately 65 miles (104 km), although a maximum of 100 miles (160 km) can be reached with throttle management and use of regenerative charging of the motorcycle. During the test, the Empulse TT was a "combined 70mph (112 km / h) motorway and city area" of 57 miles (91.2 km) by Standards Council of motorcycle industry.
The electric motor can be operated in two modes; the Eco Mode is sufficient for everyday riding, while the Sport releases 20 percent more battery power for stronger acceleration.
A central feature of Empulse TT is paired to a wet multi-plate clutch, the use of a six-speed gearbox. It is designed to allow the driver to take full advantage of potential of the engine while at the same time allowing for a more efficient use of the battery of the motorcycle. Downshifting helps in the creation of regenerative power - even more in sport mode - and mimics engine braking, most drivers are used to from conventional motorcycles.
One could argue that six courses are far too many for an electric motor; two or three should be more than sufficient. It is interesting that in this transmission neutral is found between the second and third gear, as the third is for most driving speeds and conditions used. Starting the Empulse TT translated turning on the power, selecting third gear (without using the clutch) and only turning the throttle. Apparently, the motorcyclists will rarely pass through all six gears.
The clutch is another feature that is not seen much use. It is only when switching between courses, not to lift or comes to a standstill necessary.
Apparently transmission system is also designed to provide familiarity for the typical motorcyclist who is not used to a single gear electric motor.
Empulse TT is expected to be available in the US until the end of 2015 at a price from US $ 19 999, supplemented by a line of Genuine Victory accessories that contain Victory Power forks, crash pads, large and small windscreens and side cases. Victory says it will determine its international sales plan, according to the global demand for the bike.
