I'd like to see them add regenerative braking to stuff some amps back in the battery and act as engine braking. That could be a killer fun bike. I'm also wondering what the basic setup could do as a playbike/dual sport? With better suspension? The weight is about right, and you could really centralize the mass to maximize performance. I think they might just be onto something. One suggestion: Include a basic rider course with each bike sold. If we're going to be putting new riders on the street, they need training and the proper gear. I’m intrigued.

I just started following the electric motorcycle industry and this is the first one I've read that truly captures the feeling of anticipation in this sector right now. I'm looking forward to the TTXGP next month. And yeah, that looks like the TTR Brammo is going to enter in the race. New videos on it are coming out soon, according to @brammocraig on twitter.

Exciting! Zooming in on the first picture, one would assume that the design on the computer screen is a mock-up of the Brammo TTXGP prototype. Exciting!
