After Brammo motorcycles jointly developed its Integrated Electric Transmission with SMRE Engineering, they went ahead and used it for their Brammo Engage and Encite electric motorcycles.
Since then, reports from the US of the first Brammo Empulse models to be ordered would indicate that the six–speed transmission will come as standard on this model.
This move will probably further the debate as to whether this kind of electric motorcycle needs a transmission, but if Brammo is making it standard we’re guessing they’ve got a reason to do so.
There’s still no official word from Brammo as to why they’ve decided to use the six–speed transmission and make it standard but we’ll wait for more details from the company.
