This is a street legal electric race motorcycle. Accelerating up to 100MPH+ and the battery fully charges in as little as 3.9 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.
The 470-pound Empulse TT has a 54 hp electric motor with 61 lb-ft of torque, and a 10.4 kilowatt-hour battery pack that typically provides 57-100 miles of range, according to Victory, depending on how it’s used. You plug it in right where the gas tank is on a conventional motorcycle, and its compatible with the same 240-volt chargers electric cars use, which can provide a full charge in under four hours.
Unlike most electric motorcycles that use a single-speed transmission, the Empulse TT has a six-speed manual that only needs to be clutched when changing gears, not pulling away from a standstill, or coming to a stop, when regenerative brakes help recharge the battery pack. But Victory says that, in most situations, you can just leave it in third gear and never touch the clutch.

Monday was the second day of the marathon stage in Bolivia. The riders had to race through the stunning landscapes of the Altiplano plateau from Bolivia to Chile. The whole stage was held at an altitude of 11,500 feet, making it an enormous challenge for man and machine. The athletes half-circled and crossed the “Salar de Uyuni,” the biggest salt flat in the world.
Victory, as promised, has introduced the most powerful model in the line of cruisers called Octane. Despite expectations, the bike is practically no different from the previously presented Combustion. At Victory, the novelty is called the modern muscle bike.
