[islemann]

For you electrobike geeks:

Brammo sells itself to Polaris

Looks like Polaris is on a roll.

The new American dream.

Murica! F*ck yeah

 

[GPzPop]

i wonder if this changes anything with Brammo's road racing development program? They have been active at recent afm rounds

I dunno Polaris makes big clunky cruisers.

They have always owned a piece of Brambo. Hmmm Harleys new electric motorcycle and recent improvemts to their own motorcycle line. Looks like they're feeling the heat.

Brammo is a sweet bike, but it's a lot of money for what it is.

Electric powered Indian!

Electric powered Indian!

Heck yeah! The "native wire" or "electric Pomo" to compete with the hardly Ableson Live Wire.

I'll be keeping an eye on this....

I have been hoping an electric bike, with a battery I could count on
(not one that is only for that bike and whatever future that bike has)
would come on the market.

All my power tools, including my lawn mower, and chain saws, are battery powered.

I power my home with solar panels...A bike that can get me to town and back would be free fuel an save the car a lot.

So... this could be interesting.

very interesting...

Between buying Gem, Aixam Mega, and now Brammo this is an interesting accumulation.

Time to buy some more PII.

"It described Brammo as an early-stage designer and developer of electric vehicles."

I just stopped by Scuderia today and they have one Empulse left and I'm pretty sure you can get it at the year-end sale price. $157 a month for what it's got on it is pretty sweet to me!

Oh, and here's another article:

the wording of that. sounds like the brammo team isn't going to bother with the rest of the bike and only focus on the powertrain. Polaris will take it from there. That sounds like a win win.

This also sounds like an arms race with harley for distribution.

This could be good.
Bet they'll offer a slingshot with the electric technology soon..
