Best for
Built as an electric sportbike for spirited street riding and short technical rides rather than outright top-speed or long-distance work.
Built for
A genuinely unusual machine that blends instant electric torque delivery with a traditional 6-speed manual clutch and gearbox, giving it a unique, engaging feel unlike typical electric or gas sportbikes.
Not ideal for
Not a good fit for riders wanting long-range touring capability, high top speed thrills, or any off-road use, given its limited range, modest top speed, and street-only sport tires.

Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.

At 810mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Brammo Empulse RR, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated. This is an approximation from category-typical geometry, not a measurement of this bike or of you - sit on one before you buy.
