Electric bike builders Brammo are likely best known for their gearbox drivetrain technology, but until now, it hasn’t been available for their Empulse e-bike.

The word on the street now, though, is that Brammo’s taken the six-speed transmission from their Encite and Engage models, and is adapting their Empulse to fit. We’ve got a video below showing the end result, and of course, Internet videos never lie.

We don’t have a release date for this bike yet, but with big money from Polaris backing Brammo now, we imagine this machine should make it to dealerships before too long.
