- This is the Energica Eva Ribelle RS and this is a big first for me...it's the first time I've ridden an electric motorcycle and thought:
"wow this is a motorcycle, that's electric". It's no longer a strange attempt to be a bike. It's solid, handles like a bike should and blinking heck it brings smiles! With instant torque propelling you to 60 in 2.6 secs it's like a legal high!! Here's my technical review of the Eva Ribelle RS from Energica.
More to come once I've done more riding, stay tuned for video part 2.

Having a 2017 Eva myself, I think Energica is making real progress on their electric bikes. 2020 new battery, 2021 new engine. They're the 'leader of the pack' on electric motorbikes (in my opinion).
I still use my - already 'vintage' - eva on a daily bases. No problems with the battery or charging whatsoever. And with fastchargers popping up everywhere, no range anxiety either.
Thanks for the review.
Good to know!
I ride a 2017 BMW C Evolution electric and think this review is excellent. A lot of reporters usually speak with an element of newbie-ness when they do a review and miss things...this review is spot on, with excellent detail. Thank you and have subscribed! 🙂
Aw wow. Thanks Oliver. That's made me smile
@@TheGirlOnABike You go girl!!!!! Great job!!!!
Great Review Vanessa! This bike looks amazing. excited to see your actual road test reviews! Love your channel! Thank you
Daym that is a pretty bike! Thanks for the breakdown and posting! 🔥💪
This is the first electric motorbike i really like.Beautiful bike.Thank you
for great review Vanessa..
Nice review Vanessa! The bike certainly is very sharp looking. Plus, it certainly has a lot of advantages. The technology is advancing so quickly, who knows what the next generation electrics will use. Thanks for keeping us up to date on some of the latest bikes on the market. Take care Vanessa!
Thank you for all of the great videos
Glad you like them!
Wow what a great presentation👍
Nice review with great detail and notes, thanks! After buying a Tesla recently I'm totally sold on electric, and next is the e-moto (been riding 40+ years but haven't ridden a electric one yet)
My Enérgica Ribelle is the best bike I’ve owned in 30+ years of riding. Agreed with the statement “it’s a motorbike that’s electric” ⚡️
Awesome, thanks lovely
This is a brilliant review Vanessa, you are such a natural presenter, loved it ...... starting to love the bike, those performance figures are breathtaking ......... if only I could get used to the sound track, I have to confess I would miss my Akra!. That said, the world is changing and its not a question of if, its a question of when this will become the norm, PS Just love your insta channel, you are aammaazziinngg
Would like to ride it, just twist and go huh! Sounds like fun! Great demonstration.
Excellent review so far, will be very interested on your verdict after an extensive road test....like you, it certainly looks good.
Stunning bike (looks even better with the red frame imo).
Great Review.
Helped me deciding to get one for myself. And it was the right decision. 😁
Yes, it's a lot of Money, but I found a used one. So my wife finaly said ok. ❤
Now I'm enjoying my second life on a motorbike (I "retired" in 2017 after an accident, but really missed it a lot). And now all vehicles of our family are electric. ⚡
Since may I did about 3K on the ribelle and I like it a lot.😁 And I only can tell everybody that there's no reason to be afraid of mobility becoming electic. It's fun!
Greatings from Germany.✌
Haha amazing. That's mega. Great find and so glad my view helped. Thanks for saying hi!
I love the brake light when regen feature. That should be a motorcycle wide feature. Wonder if that is from the MotoE experience.
Wish they had moved the rear brake to the left bar.
I like it, nice 👍!!
A 1980 mk2 Kawasaki z1000 was 264kg and that was the chain drive, the shaft drive one I guess was heavier
Nice review, key considerations for me are price, mileage and performance when I look at buying and don’t think I’d be ready to pay the current asking price for these. It’s fast to 60 (top speed is kind of irrelevant but note it’s limited) but it’s still limited on overall range (circa 120miles) which just makes me feel it’s very expensive for something I would use for commuting rather than for going somewhere. I routinely travel for 3 hours and cover 180 miles on motorway, but certainly moving in the right direction for the future when electric will really come in to its own.
Nice looking ride Vanessa.
Eva & Halloween approaching .... get a costume and ride in the other option ... SPOOKY MODE!
Awesome 😎 🙏👍
About the charging speed: at the AC chargers she is standing in front of, the Energica only charges at 3 kW. So 80% charge takes at least 3 hours. Only on DC (CCS) chargers, the bike charges at 20+ kW, you can charge to 80% in 30 - 40 minutes.
That rear brake light / engine braking feature is something simple but makes this bike seem really well thought out. Definitely interested in this!
The RS also has 15/44 sprockets instead of 16/44 sprockets like the normal version which helps with acceleration
I want one!
Just waiting for mine to arrive at the moment.
Awesome! Exciting
I’d love one! How did you find that drive train noise? That’s the only downside for me, as I’ve tested a Zero and I liked its understated whooshing noise
sorry for the slow reply. I really enjoy the sound of electric, or lack of. There is a noise but it's somehow calming and energising all at once. You hear the elements far more
I am so ready for this transition just not financially at the moment but fortunes change and I work towards that end. There will always be my first loves in displacement which will never diminish but holy shit this bike is just mind blowing
Haha it definitely blew my mind with the acceleration
Vanessa ,I like the thought of ev,s in general and I do like the looks of the bike .What I don't like is price and the range is just not enough for me to do what I do on a petrol powered machine .I'm sure it will come good in the future .
Awesome video.
I've test ridden one of these, but, I don't think it was the RS version.
It certainly was a lot of fun.
I see a lot of people talk about the lack of engine noise being a big factor in disliking electric but it makes up for it in so many ways.
The instant power is crazy, it's so easy to accidentally rocket past the speed limit effortlessly.
I tested this back to back with the Zero SR/F.
If I had to choose I'd probably go Zero, even though it's far less powerful.
I found the Zero was nearly silent which was surprisingly nice.
The Energica does make quite a loud squeal, which I just found annoying, would definitely need some good ear plugs.
Of the 3 electric motorcycles I've ridden the Livewire is my favourite.
But, I'm not really a sportsbike kind of person, I don't like the forward position.
⚙️ I personally prefer the straight cut gear sound from the Enérgica over the quieter LiveWire & near silent Zeros.
Interesting z! 😎
I’m yet to be converted, gonna have to try one! But until they get the infrastructure sorted here in the UK it’s just not the way to go yet…
I’ll be sticking to my H2 SXSE for a fair while yet…
Nice enjoy 🤘🏻
Electric bikes are getting there, this is the best I’ve seen to date.. great review nessa 😎
Thanka John. I totally agree
💗💗
I have the same bike. Everything is correct. Complete insanity.
Looks good !! How was the moroccon rallye??
so goood!! Hard but amazing. I need to do a video for it hey! ummm
@@TheGirlOnABike I´m waiting for it!!
I haven't owned or ridden a motorcycle before and with the appearance of EVs an electric motorcycle has caught my eye. Would this electric motorcycle be a good choice for entry level motorcyclists?
This is a very very powerful bike so probably not best first bike. 0-60 in 2.6 seconds or close too. Maybe something a little more gentle
I gave you them up for the bulalala
🙂
👍
+1. It LOOKS like a motorbike. 👍
🤣🤣so true
Ego.....Not you !!! I want the Ego. Really liked the artisan pro and the zeros at the 2019 bike show so I can't wait to see these and others at Birmingham this year. I moved to an MG ev car a year ago and at the moment I'm happy to burn fuel in my z 900 rs but I'm getting more uncomfortable with it. No car or bike what ever powers it is environmental friendly but If we are going to choose personal transport and enjoy two wheels then electric make the space we travel through a little better.
Too small for the man sized amongst us. Now an Africa Twin AS sized one and I'd be interested.
haha fair! lol
There ist an Energica Off Road bike on offer as well. This should fit you well
Nah, not my style (I'm more into retro style, like the SuperSoco TC) and also not in my budget.
And I don't really like the sound the electric bikes with a middle motor and a belt make. I own an electric scooter (Vespa style, not a little kick scooter) with a hub motor and that feels like riding a cloud because it's really silent. Unlike this strange whine from those belts.
The fast charging at car chargers sounds interesting, though, as well as recuperation. I hope more bikes come out with that. The majority of bikes currently only charge from 230V and there's almost no public charging stations for that (so, no way to charge while on the road) and also it takes a long time.
Little technical detail: ALL batteries are DC (you seem to imply that other bikes' batteries were not DC and that that's the reason they can'tcharge from the car charger). Whether you can charge from a car charging station depends on your charging circuit/BMS. But batteries are always DC.
For a retro Energica, take a look at the Energica EsseEsse 9
@@rickrides8352 idk why they claim that's retro? Yes, it has a round headlight but the rest - fairings and "tank" - looks like any modern naked bike. And 20K+ Euro... seems we have to wait another 5 years or so for prices to come down or stick to the Chinese brands for now.
@@TheFeldhamster Energica stated that the SS9 is a merge of 'the future and Italian tradition'. Compared to the Eva/Ego the looks are different.
And the pricetag is equal to Ducati for example - with the same components on board as a Ducati has. And no, those are not cheap. And not Chinese either.
13.4 kWh Energica's are becoming cheaper now, esp. since the introduction of the 21.5 battery. Mine will sell for 13.5 K euro's now (and yes, that hurts a little).
Men of culture!
💪
Needs to lose 20k off the price and do 200 miles on a 15 minute charge before I can consider it. Just my opinion, though!
That's fair. I bet it won't be too long until that's possible
When you look at the specs, it matches a Ducati Panigale. And the Energica has the same components (Trellis frame, Öhlins, lots of carbon, Brembo brakes, expensive wheels). They're in the same price category.
These electric bikes are getting really good.
I have to agree
I’m struggling to see the compelling argument for electric motorcycles. Riding a bike surely is about the feedback you get from it isn’t it. Is the engine not a large part of that? Whether you like singles, twins, triples, 4’s or 6’s it gives us a feeling. Now with ever more increasing traffic on the roads (UK) and thinking safety, surely as much “feeling / character” that can be achieved at the lowest speed possible has to be a positive, and just saying that wow this bike is awesome because it accelerates so fast...mmmmm I’m just not convinced about this being the right thing. I’m sure it does have awesome accel, it’s an electric motor.. it will do that, that for me does not make something that I can be passionate about over time. It makes a good test ride mind 🤔. Range, I ride till my low fuel warning comes on then fuel up, so with 40miles there about still in the tank. When electric vehicle companies state range I do wish they would take reserve into account. I.e we don’t ride to empty. Now all this is with the caveat of not having ridden one so the final verdict is open at the moment but nothing at the moment is making me want to own one of these machines before I’m forced to when if nothing changes I’ll not bother I think
I can see that angle. I'd just encourage you to give one a try and then decide. It's a totally different experience ❤️
Well Vanessa this a pretty desperate pitch for something that is just not practical. You bang on about performance but we all know the problem with electric the more you use performance the range dwindles rapidly.
Are you for real 3 yr warranty on a battery. That's how long they expect it to last. You going for a 30 minute coffee with your friends depends on finding a working charger, a fast DC charger, and waiting in the que to charge. In conclusion no warranty on a petrol tank recharge time 3 minutes. Longer range don't have to replace my tank after 3 years and what does a replacement battery cost. A thousand recharges....would you buy a 2nd hand EV bike. Also new bikes very overpriced.
30mins to charge while having a coffee - that's if you manage to find a charging point! Otherwise that's the day out ruined!
When we have constant black outs in the future because the grid can't take it I'll jump on my ancient R1 and razz around on that laughing at all the electric vehicle's stranded in no mans land🤣
Haha yessss 🤣😳it's a genuine fear!!
This is not the case and a common misunderstanding. The demand on the grid is lower now that it was 10/15 years ago as white goods and lighting has become more efficient. In reality people do not fiill up with fuel at a certain time of day and we don't charge cars and bikes at the same time which probably would cause blackout issues. Home solar generation and industrial battery storage spreads the load. Full ev adoption is years away and the national grid and profit driven power industry's will make sure your fears won't come true. I own a 900cc and have no problems burning fuel in it for now but neither of us will be able to put fuel in if the petrol station is in blackout to.
gas pumps need electricity.
still too much cost
its incredible she is amazed that the battery is dc. show me an ac battery....
It's the fast charge part in the car dc network I'm impressed with. Many of the electric bikes are not compatible with the car network 👌🏼
Loved 🥰 it until l priced it 😱🤪🌎☕️
Haha yeah fair. It's got so much new technology it's a bit mad still but I guess it's a top spec high performance bike so sits high £££
I like this blondie better than the one who do cars.
aw hehe ❤️
A sound of a motorcycle 's engine, is for me, makes riding a motorcycle a joy and soul. Electric bike, no soul.
Have you ridden one? There's noise, it's just different 😉
Cars and motorbikes have no soul, nothing can and will replace my horse and buggy!!! Those wretched noise makin, air polluting pieces of....
You must be a ginger...
30+ years of riding but after owing two electric motorcycles, I’ve decided I’ll never go back to gas. The numerous advantages of electric for me, far outweigh any exhaust noise of the old bikes I used to ride. ⚡️Effortless power. Smooth transitions. More connected to the road. Less fatigue on long rides. That’s where I’ve found *more* joy in riding. Mechanical noise not needed.
@@evolv.e In your opinion.
The motorcycle sounds very futuristic ❤️👍
You are the most beautiful lady motorcycle rider I have seen... ❤️
Hey beautiful u have any idea I was looking to u instead of hearing and bike..🤗
I’d love to take her out to dinner… to speak more about the bike, of course.
Hehe thank you
Crazy u sound and look like supercar blondie 🛸🤣
Haha I'm far less cool sadly 🤣
It's hideous, both aesthetically and conceptually, imo anyway. Devoid of any character/soul. As in the last review your commentary is biased in favour of the manufacturer with seemingly no flaws or dislikes in your analysis.
We're all allowed our own opinions dude. Just happens that I blinking lived that bike. This is alps the technical review, as I stated, so the riding opinion comes with the ride in my next video. I liked the bike a LOT. So that's what I say. 🙏
I agree with you. The pitch smacked of desperation.
Very nasty comment mate. You are entitled to your opinion, but there is no reason for you to think it is superior and label different opinions as biased.
@@ChristopheDeBoeck I in no way implied my opinion is superior, it is just that, an opinion/observation. If you watched Vanessa's last video with the Triumph both that and this video seem orchestrated and little more than a promo and/or sales pitch. There's a common theme with manufacturers these days, and days of old really to get reasonably popular influencers and pay for travel, accommodation and the like for exposure and so called 'reviews'. Accordingly this can make being objective/unbiased a little awkward and requires a moral code to be fair and impartial. The bike is not my thing whereas Vanessa is suitably impressed and I of course totally respect that. Each to their own.
look at me me me , oh and look at me me me on a motorbike
