I hope the positive press and race wins garnered by the Empulse TT will give it, or something similar, a future either with Indian or Polaris. Only time will tell. But good to read that Polaris is at least thinking in that direction.

“We’re going to continue the electric part of the business,” Menneto responded.  When I asked if his response meant we’ll one day be seeing an Indian with an electric motor, he carefully said: “I think that’s a fair assessment.”

Rode the Harley LiveWire a couple years ago. Nice bike. Not as nice as the Empulse but more upright seating. And has the same disadvantages as all EV bikes, high cost and limited range. Nothing really new about it

TVETT, care to share where you picked up the 2016 Victory Empulse TT w/lvl2 charger for such an awesome price?  Thanks

Nashville Area. More details below in Brammo section

Got it in Nashville area. 2 dealers had this deal. Also saw it in Panama City and Cinninatti so not a localized thing. Actually both nashville dealers listed at $6999 but came down to $5999 when pushed and shown other deals in PC and Cincy

The EV tax credit for 2 wheeled vehicle expired Dec 31, 2016. Only good on 4 wheels now. Some states may have one in effect. I would have gotten it if it was till around. Even thought maybe the dealer woudl say I ordered in Dec but the law states you had to have it in use by 12/31/16

I had to tell the dealer about the expiration as they were telling people they could get $2000 credit. Thaat was true at a $20000 price as the credit was 10% but I would have been able to keep the $600 if it was still in affect (or it it is reinstated which is unlikely since the 4 wheelers are not lobbying with us.)

"A credit is available for the purchase of a new qualified two-wheeled plug-in electric drive vehicle that draws propulsion using a traction battery that has at least 2.5 kilowatt hours (kWh) of capacity, uses an external source of energy to recharge the battery, has a gross vehicle weight rating of up to 14,000 pounds, is manufactured primarily for use on public roadways, and can drive at least 45 miles per hour. The credit is for 10% of the cost of the qualified vehicle, up to $2,500, and applies to vehicles acquired between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2016. "

Companies are required by law to supply parts for 10 years after a vehicle is discontinued. But if the company disappears who do you sue? and have parts does not mean they are readily available, actual meet OEM standards or are not way too expensive.

Still I bought a 2016 Empulse TT today with 2 miles on it for $5,999 and they threw in the Level 2 charger.  Figured worth risking the future at that price.
