they are getting there but a bike costing this much needs to be faster in my opinion

It looks great but would only be good around town. I don't know why they even bother telling you what the highway range is - if I wanted to hit the highway on that, I'd need to travel 30+ km just to get out of the city, so I'd already be getting nervous as to whether I'll make it home again or not! Range and charge time is very limiting. But yes - great if you want to zip around town.

I agree a cool city only bike and still to expensive, but it looks good and the speed isn't to bad for the power.

Style points: they're ever-so-slowly creeping away from the super-moto styling that they (for some inexplicable reason) have latched on to with e-bikes. This one's not bad, with a streetfighter/standard kind of look to it... but what's with the huge gap for rear wheel clearance? Does it really need long-travel suspension back there? Like it's gonna have to land the mega-triple-jump at the local SuperCross stadium, or something?! Time to grow up and move on, Brammo.

Great for the Planet and great for the pocket when the price comes down to something affordable. Except for one thing: DEADLY quiet. Loud pipes save lives even though they are sometimes a bit anti-social. I will stay with Screaming Eagle thanks!

To MzunguMkubwa point: If your electric bikes are not really meant for speed (like your typical 'bullet bikes') then why don't you make/change your bike style/model to one more like a typical 'Cruiser' model??? (ex. Harley Davidson, Yamaha V-Star, Suzuki Blvd, etc)

To bf_308: Screaming Eagle IS Harley-Davidson. But as a 45-year Harley rider, I can tell you that the "loud pipes saves lives" mantra is an illusion. 80% of the noise from any set of pipes is directed backwards. You hear a lot more after the bike goes by, not when it's coming at you. I always have loud pipes, but people still don't hear me coming. A cage (car) with windows up may have a radio on and/or AC or are just unaware. I've also driven a Honda or BMW (both very quiet) and saw little difference in awareness of drivers in front of me. So I look forward to trying a Brammo. If the silence is a problem, I'll replace the horn with something as loud as an air horn. But I don't think I'll need it.

At what speed do you get a 100 mile range, and what is the range if I go 100 mph?

re; Robert Andrews
It is the people behind you you most need to be aware of you because they are the ones you are least aware of.
