2017 Victory Motorcycles Empulse TT First Look

Whether it burns hydrocarbons or kilowatt-hours, the source for power doesn't matter to Victory Motorcycles and us as long as it's fast. The 2016 Empulse TT is an electric alternative to the gas-powered motorcycles and is quick where it matters most. Built on the same platform that claimed a spot on the podium at both the Isle of Man and the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, the Empulse TT accelerates up to 100+ mph and has a 10.4 kWh battery module that can fully charge in 3.9 hours.

Equipped with sport-tuned inverted front forks and an adjustable suspension to provide track-level performance, the Empulse TT is also the only electric bike equipped with a gearbox—six-speed transmission—although shifting is entirely optional as it also operates in a twist-and-go mode for maximum convenience. The Empulse TT is the only electric motorcycle available from a major motorcycle manufacturer, putting it in a class of one. This is American muscle at its most modern. With adjustable suspension, lightweight cast aluminum wheels, and regenerative braking the Empulse TT is an efficient, performance-driven electric ride. Available in Titanium Silver with Havasu Red for $19,999.
