Victory's Empulse TT All-Electric Motorcycle Finds Its Way Into EagleRider Stores

EagleRider gives a warm welcome to the Empulse TT—the first all-electric motorcycle manufactured by Victory and now the newest addition to EagleRider's ever-growing inventory.

         This zero-emissions motorcycle features an adjustable suspension, aggressive Brembo brakes that can bring the bike from 30-0 in 45 feet, and one of the most advanced batteries ever developed reaching a full charge in 3.9 hours with an average range of 80 miles. 

         The Empulse TT is often described as a "magic carpet with handlebars" as it glides along roads without any noise, vibration, or engine heat. The stealthy bike's silence is the wonderful sound of money being saved while sacrificing none of a motorcycle's inherent edge and style. 

         VP of Sales Chris Clovis comments "EagleRider is always on the lookout for the innovative and proven motorcycles on the market that bring the most variety and value to our available selection. The Empulse TT being without a doubt one of the most impressive electric motorcycles out there was a natural choice."
