Rider Profile

Best For	Suitable for newer to intermediate riders thanks to smooth, predictable electric power delivery with no clutch to manage in stop-and-go traffic.
Purpose	Best suited as an urban commuter and short-distance naked bike where instant torque and quiet operation are valued over outright range or top speed.
Rider Fit	A light, compact chassis with a moderate seat height makes it manageable for shorter or less experienced riders to handle at low speeds and in traffic.
Character	A quirky, forward-thinking electric naked that trades visceral engine noise and long-range capability for instant torque, low maintenance, and a futuristic riding experience.
Not Ideal For	Not ideal for long-distance touring riders or anyone needing rapid refueling and extended range, since electric charging times and limited range constrain highway trips.

Units

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 8.0, 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.
