Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who already have some experience on standard motorcycles, since the instant electric torque and unusual gearbox setup reward familiarity with clutch and gear feel.
PurposeDesigned as an electric naked bike for spirited urban riding and short sporty jaunts rather than long-distance travel, thanks to its limited range.
Rider FitA moderate seat height and manageable dry weight make it accessible to a wide range of rider statures without being intimidating.
CharacterA quiet, torque-rich, tech-forward machine that appeals to riders curious about electric performance and the novelty of a manual gearbox on an EV.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders planning long highway tours or off-road adventures, given its short range, street-only tires, and naked-bike ergonomics.

2015 Brammo Empulse LE Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Brammo Empulse LE, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 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.
