Victory Motorcycles Fully Electric Empulse TT Photo Gallery
Polaris made claims that the company would actually use its accusation of Brammo Electric Motorcycles by continuing to manufacture electric bikes. An announcement today shows Polaris has been true to its word, introducing the company's first fully electric motorcycle, the Empulse TT.
Polaris, the parent company of Victory Motorcycles, decided to essentially just give a bigger name to Brammo by rebranding them as Victorys—starting with the newly introduced 2016 Empulse TT, which is set to be available this fall.

This is a smart move by both companies as this will be the first American fully-electric motorcycle built by a major manufacturer. There's Zero and Mission, along with overseas guys like Energica, but none with the dealership infrastructure and manufacturing capital of Polaris.
Remember though, this isn't a cruiser, so we still may see an electric cruiser from Victory soon. The joint efforts of both Brammo and Victory is said to lead to even more electric fun.
Say what you will about gasoline counterparts, we're excited to get our butts on the seat. (Hopefully soon, right Victory? Cough, Cough!) This news will hopefully have Harley-Davidson on the move to get the Project LiveWire finally out of the "project" phase and into real production. The Empulse TT leaves H-D with fewer excuses.
Below is a quick run down from Victory. To read the full info click below:

"Built on the same platform that set an American lap-speed record at the Isle of Man, it accelerates up to 100MPH+ and the battery fully charges in 3.5 hours. Where it matters most, the Empulse TT is fast. It is 10,400 watt hours of proof that Victory doesn’t just prove performance, we advance technology," According to Victory Motorcycles.
"The sport-tuned inverted front forks and adjustable suspension are engineered to provide track-level performance. It has the fastest battery charging speed, greatest lean-angle, and advanced regenerative braking system. Wherever the Empulse goes, it electrifies all audiences."
