Energica Eva Ribelle Test Ride - Insane Electric Motorcycle!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 сер 2024
- Who in their right mind would buy an electric motorcycle? They have ridiculously low ranges, take forever to charge, look like embarrassing plastic boxes with wheels, weigh a ton, handle like wheelbarrows...
Well, not any more! I test rode the Energica Eva Ribelle, a true hyper naked motorcycle that looks, handles and feels like a real world motorcycle that has arrived from some time in the future!
This one could be the game changer - here's what I thought of it...
Many thanks to Not Your Average Bikes for lending me the bike to test ride and being so generous with their time in answering all my questions about the present and future of electric motorcycles.
Here's a link to their website: notyouraveragebikes.com/

Rally nice review!
I especially like the intro. 👍
Your impressions made me want to get that bike.
And now I have one. Did already about 3k kilometers on it and I realy like it.
Greatings from Germany.

I've got the RS Ribelle on its way, pretty stoked. I am in California so charging infrastructure is everywhere. State incentive $750, federal incentive $2500, really helped. Will try to upload content for everyone to see what living with one is like. Thanks for the vid!
I look forward to seeing those videos! I am so tempted to see if I can work out a way to rustle the funds together to buy one - I keep thinking back to the ride and how great it was.
@@TheBoltHoleBiker I've never even ridden one and already know it's for me. We plan to rent it it on ridersshare to cover some of the cost. Maybe even publish regular vids of rides too. We'll see how I feel about all that once I get it.
@@phillipsandusky3795 I've heard of Riders Share, sounds like a good idea, not sure if we have it over here.
@@TheBoltHoleBiker another one is twisted road
@@phillipsandusky3795 Ah yes, I've heard of that as well, I think they are over here. I'll look into it. Cheers.
Great vid...Good to hear your thoughts on electric 👍
Thanks 👍
Your comments about this being the only bike that supports dc charging are incorrect. Yes, Energica bikes support L1, L2, and L3 (dcfc). But Harley LiveWire, and the newer LiveWire One both support dc fast charging. I presume their upcoming midsize electric will also support dcfc. The Harley LiveWire and LiveWire One both charge L2 at the same speed as L1, though. So it’s L1 or L3 charging, really. The Ribelle does have the largest battery you can get today. Overall, nice review. :)
Cheers for that, I hadn't realised that the Livewire was level 3 DC👍
Energica has me hooked, thats why I've got two now 😀
Awesome video in my area of England, never know, their were so close, But! like your self, am a lover of of the 790/ 890
and before changing over I have to have one, 790 Duke is my Dream Bike, and just like yours, Am getting it rapped on the tank
and putting a slip on, on it.
Stay Awesome.
Ha, ha, excellent! Cheers fella, enjoy the 790, they are awesome!
Great, honest review. If the pricing gets more competitive I think they will be great for short trips and commuting where charging isn’t a factor. Low maintenance too.DC fast charging will be essential though for any more serious runs. For me, the price is the biggest issue right now. 👍
Yes, me too.
I have to have one. These with the range up as the are, fantastic
Liked your video nice to see your views on electric bikes, I'm the same as you would like to try one but the the price is still to high hope they get cheaper in the future but like the idea of all that torque.
Cheers! You're right, the torque is very nice! I agree, they are bloody expensive still, but will hopefully start to level out soon. I think if they do then people will buy them.
You had me at “It Fuckin Jet Engine!” Top of my list now I just need a spot of lottery money. You should print that on some merch
Ha, ha, cheers, I might do that!🤣. I have to say, I am loving the bike, there will be vids on it coming soon!

Cheers fella👍. You'll love the 790, they are awesome! What can are you going to put on? I love the sound of the Remus that I had.
@@TheBoltHoleBiker AUSTING Racing, if not that a Arrows.
@@ezekielgskeen8607 Can't go wrong with either of those to be honest. I really like the look of some of the stubby Austin cans.
@@TheBoltHoleBiker that's the one I want, with the orange around the rim, yes! beautiful finish, the bike ( 790 ) doesn't need too much, because the line and style is already there. seeing all the videos out there, these only a couple I really like and yours was one of those bikes.
Salute to you and yours sir!
@@ezekielgskeen8607 Boom! Can't ask for better than that! Cheers👍👌
Interesting stuff ... looked like you properly enjoyed the ride that the Eva gives, I'll bet the acceleration is grin inducing 😉 ... Be even more interesting to see if they can match the paper claims with real world performance .. 120 miles of spirited, fast riding is quite impressive range - that paired with relatively fast charging should be very appealing to anyone looking getting into the E-motorbike scene. I'm not quite ready yet ... but once the charging network fills out a bit more and the prices of the bikes start to come down I'll be seriously considering the swap from ICE to EV.
Cheers, I have to say I was way more impressed than I expected to be, it is a really good bike. Regarding the paper claims for range etc, when I took it out I did just under 100 miles and the range on the dash was showing about 12% when i took it back, so I'd say it was showing an indicated 110+ miles, so pretty accurate. I think they claim it will be about 150 or something, but 110-120 is genuine, which for me sounds pretty workable. I'd say that most of my rides are less than 120 miles and the ones that are over I could quite easily slot a little break into.
Great review. You said that the balls of your feet can touch the ground. About how tall are you? Wondering if I'd be able to ride this bike.
how many kilowatts of energy will it draw when charging by A.C. power (level 2?) charging ?
I believe it sucks 2kw's on level 2 charging, so basically about the same as a decent fan heater.
I have a Zero Srs. I used to tell people that on my literbike, you could adjust the speed like you were adjusting volume on a stereo. But with my Zero, it adjusts space itself. Just be careful because while it's true you can place yourself anywhere in traffic instantly, like teleporting, when you get there you will also have a huge velocity that must be dealt with.
The propulsion is out of this world but the brakes and physics of stopping haven't changed.
Zero does not have energica breaks ... really different .. also .. too many holes in zero service
Can appreciate the speed, acceleration, smoothness etc but never in a million years for me! 🤨
Good review though 😁🤙
Fair do's👍 Cheers for watching!
Pretty sure the Harley livewire also has DC fast charging.
Yes, the Livewire One can charge from 10% to 75% on DC in under 30min
Hi yes your right electric bikes are getting better but there's the elephant in the room that people don't know about yet a certain electric car manufacturer car broke down at 4000 miles battery or motor faulty nope the bit that no one thinks about the complicated bit that gives you regen and power control to the motor the car was under warranty the part + labour if it was not warranted £7000 pounds please also I looked at the energica cut away bike at NEC complicated oh yes.
Are you referring to Tesla by any chance?
Nope kia
The same could be said for certain petrol bikes as well. Look at all the Africa Twins that needed replacement wheels due to poor material quality. Or more serious, a good friend of mine bought a new Aprilia RS660 and it needed an engine replacement after 3 months, along with every other single RS660 from the initial launch batch of bikes after a manufacture fault was found. Any mass produced item be it a petrol engine, battery, ECU, rear shock, wheel, anything..... can have a fault. But its all about percentage chances of failure. No part or manufacturer has 0% chance of part failure.
Yes, I get that there is always a risk that things might go wrong, especially with new tech, but as far as I am aware the motors and batteries in Energica's are under warranty for about 30,000 km's, so you'd have to be pretty unlucky to end up having to shell out for a new one.
Hey, very nice review:)
I have one point of critique, it's pointless talking about max. torque. Even for a gas bike, it doesn't really say much about the performance, since all that matters is the given horsepower (everything else is done in the gearbox).
With an electric bike, it's especially pointless, since the motors can turn at whatever speed they want, without being bound to the rev-range we know. A bike with 50Nm max. torque could beat any other bike, if the motor turns to 80.000rpm.
But great great video!
Cheers for your comment, you really got me thinking on this one! I get what you are saying about torque vs horsepower and that if an engine can spin fast enough then, regardless of torque figures, it will out preform anything, but horsepower is measured by torque multiplied by rotation, so the torque of the engine still has an effect on its performance. What I noticed on the electric bike was that, unlike on an ICE bike which needs to basically restart the process of increasing rotational crank speed to hit max horsepower each time a new gear is engaged, it just had no drop in performance from zero to whatever speed it is limited to stop at, so it just feels effortlessly powerful.
You are right though, it is the horsepower that defines the bikes performance.
Cheers for watching👍👍👍
@@TheBoltHoleBiker Hey. Thanks for your reply! Yes. HP is torque multiplied by rpm, but let's say you have no tachometer on your bike. (And let's say it had no sound). Then it doesn't matter if you have a Harley with big torque at low rpm or a low torque 250cc high revving bike. If horsepower is the same, acceleration will be the same.
With a gas bike, everytime we shift, torque drops one step lower.
With the electric bikes, it's true that they give quite constant acceleration. This does not make them faster though. It actually makes them slow. Like being stuck in highest gear.
It would be much better to still have a gearbox!:) It's just usually not done because of complexity and efficiency
@@DerKrawallkeks Hi fella, sorry, just seen this, I hadn't realised that you had replied! I get what you're saying about the ICE engines, but the electric bike certainly didn't feel like it was a bike starting off in a high gear, it was just instant responsive speed from wherever it was as soon as the throttle was turned, I don't know how they have done it, but it works.
@@TheBoltHoleBiker hey, yes electric bikes can feel great, I own a Zero S myself.
But with a gearbox, they would literally wheelie and accelerate even faster.
My bike reaches max power at around 80kmh I'd say, so 40 it has only half power
@@DerKrawallkeks Oh right, I hadn't realised they did that, I was under the impression that it was just constant with electric. Funnily enough I am test riding a Zero on Friday, how do you like yours?
Will never go back to ice .. i just like e floating too much ... buy the energica for your company you get your tax back and write off and incometax profit .. it ll make this bike cost half !!
May the lord baby Jesus forgive you.
Ha, ha, I'll pray to the almighty God Harley Davidson for forgiveness for taking a step towards the Dark Side!
