2015 Brammo Empulse LE Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Brammo's naked motorcycle platform, the 2015 Brammo Empulse LE features a purpose-built liquid-cooled electric configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 54 HP (39.4 kW) at 4,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 90 Nm (66.4 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive.
On the scales, the Empulse LE measures 213 kg (470 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.25 HP/kg (3.94 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance.
