The Empulse 6.0 (60 mile range) will start at $10K, and the Empulse 8.0 (80 mile range) and the Empulse 10.0 (100 mile range) be up to $14K, though there may be federal and/or state incentives/rebates/tax reductions that could reduce the 10.0 down to as low as $7K.

It needs some aeromods. Otherwise, AWESOME!

It will be neat when these can stand on their own as far as purchase price without the rebates.

Oh, I do hope they're gonna put a windshield and some fairings, that naked look will definitely decrease it's performance/range.

Apparently, they will offer a range of footpeg set ups, and yes a small flyscreen would be great, too.
