*SAE City Riding Range Test Procedure for Electric Motorcycles (variable speed, 19 mph / 30km/h average)
**SAE Highway / Constant Speed Riding Range Test Procedure for Electric Motorcycles (70 mph / 113 km/h sustained)
*** SAE Highway Commuting Cycle (.5 City weighting, .5 Highway weighting)

Operating Modes: 2 Operating Modes selectable through the handlebar switch: 1. “Normal” - limits acceleration by reducing maximum current delivered to the motor through the motor controller in order to maximize driving range. 2. “Sport” - provides maximum performance in both acceleration and top speed.
Regenerative Braking: Under deceleration, energy is returned to the battery system to both extend driving range and provide familiar rider feedback.
Operating Cost: Assuming 13 cents /kWh for electricity:

1 cent per mile around town
2 cents per mile on the highway
Data Collection: Brammo DDC™ (Dynamic Data Collection) records key motorcycle parameters at 1Hz (1 sample/second) for analysis and service support.

Brammo products used for racing do not carry a manufacturer's warranty.

All specifications are subject to change without notice.

Electric vehicle range is affected by a number of factors including; speed, acceleration, number of starts and stops, rider and cargo weight, changes in elevation, head winds and road surface.

*The batteries we use have an amazing life cycle and are maintenance free. They're inherently extremely safe and can withstand temperatures without decomposing and, unlike other batteries, can be topped up at any time.
