Dory is the founder and primary author behind Empulsebuyer.com, a blog dedicated to Brammo's newest motorcycle. . Dory purchased the domain name for his blog shortly after learning of Brammo's plans to develop and produce the Empulse, an electric motorcycle with 100+ miles range and a maximum speed greater than 100 mph. Upon learning about Brammo's electric motorcycles, Dory says, "I discovered that I could enjoy one of my favorite hobbies guilt-free from a carbon perspective and without compromise. I created Empulsebuyer.com to help people see not only the beautiful design of the Empulse, but also the cost savings of going electric."
Beyond blogging on Empulsebuyer.com, Dory developed the "Total Cost of Ownership," a mobile application that compares cost-savings between electric and gas-powered motorcycles. Dory also is an active member in the online community Brammo Owner's Forum (brammoforum.com).
Craig Bramscher, the CEO of Brammo, Inc., says, "Jeremy epitomizes what we look for in an Evangelist, and with so many Brammo enthusiasts, it was a tough call to pick this year's winner."
"Jeremy is the ideal recipient of this award," concurs Harry Mallin, the recipient of the 2010 Brammo Evangelist of the Year Award. "His dedication to electric vehicles is evident in his recent purchase of a Chevrolet Volt and in his dogged pursuit to become one of the first owners of a Brammo Empulse. Jeremy will discover, as I did, that Brammo not only makes beautiful electric motorcycles, but also reliable, safe, durable and fun to ride."
Dory looks forward to many years of eco-friendly riding on his new, white Brammo Empulse R. He says, "My first ride will be through Deer Creek Canyon just north of my house. This route is a real treat with tons of twisties and beautiful scenery. The Empulse R was made for these kinds of roads."
Empulse R production is now underway with demonstration bikes in dealerships and deliveries to customers who pre ordered starting shortly. The Empulse will go into production in Q1 2013.
