ASHLAND, Ore., Aug. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Brammo and electric motorcycle racers competed this weekend at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in the FIM ePower International Road Racing Championship. Team Icon Brammo took second and third place with riders Eric Bostrom and Steve Atlas.

Brammo’s newest rider, Eric Bostrom, who has over two decades of experience riding for companies such as Ducati, Harley Davidson, and Honda, finished third overall with a time of 14’44.858 and an average speed of 132.183 Km/h—an impressive feat considering he had ridden the Brammo bike only once before. Teammate Steve Atlas finished in second place at 14’34.963 with an average speed of 133.678 Km/h, just 2.903 seconds behind first place winner Michael Barnes of the Barracuda Lightning race team.

“Even with Barnes setting a blistering pace, it was cool to see my teammate Atlas up there with him—pushing me to ride even faster,” said Bostrom at Laguna Seca. When asked about the performance of Brammo’s racing bike, the Empulse RR, Bostrom said “It put a big smile on my face and surpassed all my expectations.”
