Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders with at least some prior motorcycling experience who are curious about electric powertrains and the unusual feel of an unusual electric-with-clutch drivetrain.
PurposeBest suited as an urban and suburban commuter or novelty naked bike for short spirited rides rather than long-distance travel.
Rider FitA moderate seat height and manageable curb weight make it accessible to riders of average build and confidence, though the unconventional gearbox feel demands a bit of adaptation.
CharacterQuirky and forward-thinking, this bike appeals to early adopters who enjoy quiet, torquey acceleration and want to stand out with genuinely different technology.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting long-range touring capability, off-road ability, or class-leading outright speed.

2011 Brammo Empulse 6.0 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 810mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Brammo Empulse 6.0, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
