If you have ever wanted a Brammo electric motorcycle, this may be a good time to consider buying one.
Brammo is now offering an End-Of-Summer Promotion (http://www.brammo.com/us-incentives/) that gives significant discounts to move more of their electric bikes out of inventory and onto the roads.
The price of a 2014 Empulse has fallen 29 percent, from $17,000 to $12,000, and the higher-performance 2014 Empulse R dropped from $19,000 to $14,000, a 26-percent cut.




Still, a sale this big for a company this young is bound to raise some eyebrows, and questions. Why is Brammo selling all their bikes at a loss?
According to a source close to the company, it all comes down to Brammo's impending initial public offering (IPO). The company plans to go public in 2015, intending to raise quite a bit of money.

I want an electric bike but part of the appeal is no shifting, no clutch. I like Zero much better than Brammo.

I was watching a review artcile of this motorcycle last week. The two reviewers were riding in the hills of Southern California around what looked like The Snake.

They liked the bikes and said they could keep up with riders on 600s as long as the riders weren't too good.

Then they pulled over for 3 hours at a free charging station to ride another 70 miles or whatnot.

I wonder if anyone is developing a hybrid system like what Porche has in their 918 pushing something like 900 HP and exhuast that makes the car look like a jet fighter.
