What would they put up a site and leave no info? Seems to me they are in a hurry just to the site out :?

Brand new company, they were at the Dealer Show in Toronto last week displaying their stuff. From what I understand they will work with the customer to build exactly what is needed. A variety of hub motors will be available as well as different batteries, wheels, suspension parts, brakes etc. so every bike is gonna be a little different from the previous one. Also, frames will be available separately for those customers that want to build the bike themselves. Owner seems knowledgeable and friendly to deal with. Shouldn't be too much longer for more info.

I have been several times to Rosspar, first to get some Andersons (they're a master distributor), then later for some work on repairing a battery, and finally help with my latest build including installing torque plates. Phil is my contact there, great guy, super helpful. I couldn't be happier about finding a batteries and electric bike expert only 30 km away.
Impulse bikes is their electric bike business venture and I heard they got a ton of interest at the bike show this past weekend. I think Phil got some orders for the bike there and already had some orders from law enforcement in the Toronto area.
The bike is actually a lot more advanced than what you see on the website - it is essentially a ready product now. I think Phil just doesn't spend a lot of time on the website - don't think he is on E-S either. I'll ask him to update the website next time I see him.
They have a business partnership with Bay Cycle just down the street (Brock Rd in Pickering) where they do a lot of light duty electric conversions. John and Gerrard there did some work on repair of my BMC motor and did my last wheel build. They're great too - the wheel build is a lot better than what I got done at another bike shop previously.

Yup, same guy. I spoke with Phil yesterday and will be test riding one of his creations (I believe its the Renegade) on Monday with a little luck. FYI, frames are 4mm aluminum.

Details will be posted following the end of summer. Impulse product has only been released to dealers, private security and law enforcement. We are scheduled for a Spring release to the general public and thus have been closed lip about further details. Currently dealers are ordering demo's for their shops and we are providing ride along/test drives to potential clients. Impulse group should be attending a few more events in months leading up to our public release in Spring of 2013.
Please feel free to share any suggestions or comments.

Looks good! More option now if they willing to sell the frame separately. Wonder if it's Cromotor capable. : )
Now we have a lot of choice
1) Maxwell weird ebike frame - not sure if we can get one now
2) Greyborg Warp
3) Phaser Frame
4) This one
5) Convert/DIY
Battery compartment might be a bit cramped for anything super range in the 40+ miles range @ 30mph. Wish they have build frames like motor cycles where you have a hugh hump in front of the crotch area for more battery space.
Getting on the bike would mean putting leg on the rear, but I think it's worth it if you can make it short enough to accommodate all size rider.

I think the frame grows one you! At first I did not like the frame at all. Now I sort of like it. I bet by spring I will be jumping all over one.
You guys planning on selling just complete bikes?
