Brammo Empulse Electric Bike Wins Popular Science Award

Popular Science recently announced the 100 winners of the Best of
What's New Awards, and this year the Brammo Empulse electric sport
bike took the prize for the automotive category.
"For 24 years, Popular Science has honored the innovations that
surprise and amaze us - those that make a positive impact on our
world today and challenge our views of what's possible in the
future," said Mark Jannot, the publication's editor-in-chief. "The
Best of What's New Award is the magazine's top honor, and the 100
winners - chosen from among thousands of entrants - represent the
highest level of achievement in their fields."
The Empulse comes in three models - the 6.0, 8.0 and 10.0 - with
average ranges of 60, 80 and 100 miles, respectively, and the hours
it takes to charge each bike also corresponds with their model
numbers. All versions of the electric sport motorcycle are capable
of surpassing speeds of 100 miles per hour, and even though they
will not go into production until early 2012, more than 2,000
riders have already pre-ordered the bike.
