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.

Davi Millsaps captured his second main event win of the season and expanded his AMA Supercross championship lead to 19 points with a wire-to-wire victory at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego. The Rockstar Energy Suzuki rider jumped ahead at the start for the holeshot and held that lead for the entire 20-lap race for the win. Finishing 2.386 seconds back was Team Honda Muscle Milk‘s Justin Barcia while Red Bull KTM‘s Ryan Dungey finished 10.300 seconds back for third place.
Marco Melandri rebounded from last week’s disappointing Portimao round to win Race One at Laguna Seca while Tom Sykes extended his championship lead with a win in a red-flagged Race Two. Melandri got taken out of the second Portimao race after his Aprilia teammate Sylvain Guintoli slid into his RSV4. Melandri looked eager to make up for that DNF, leading every lap of Race One on his way to his third win of the season.
