Dude...you are getting the Energica salesman of the year award. Although I love my 2015 DSR (even with the bad battery) I am seriously thinking about putting down the money for a Energica.
Haha thanks! Wait, bad battery??
I was wondering the same....
About Energica. If you can afford one without crashing your bank account. Go for it!
it's so awesome to finally be watching your channel as a customer instead of a wisher, thanks for caring and sharing, sir
Dude that means a lot! Welcome to the club :D Thank you for going electric!!
I really enjoy your channel. As someone from the U.S. I had looked into electric bikes a bit, but after all the hassles and what I've seen yourself and others go through with zero and the way zero treats it's customers. Not to mention their more recent pay to unlock featuring upgrades that are already on the bike. I had written off any interest in electric motorcycles until I found your channel. I had never heard of energica before. But I'm glad I did. I love the energica content, and if I ever go electric for a motorcycle, I'll definitely be choosing energica. Thank you for what you do, and can't wait to see more content.
Thanks so much! That means a lot. I started this channel to share that electric motorcycles existed, and now my mission is to only share the best. Zero is still the biggest name in the game but they don't reflect the whole industry. When it comes to build quality, performance, and customer service, Energica can't be beat. You can tell I'm a fan 😂
Go test ride an Energica. You won't be sorry, unless it means you have to sell a kidney to pay for it. I don't regret buying my Energica. It is fantastic.
Next month will be 3 years as an Energica customer, and I'm so happy to be part of the family!
Nice!! Congrats man 😁 This company is so amazing. Which model do you ride?
@@NewZeroland It really is an awesome company. I ride a 13.4kWh 2020 Ego with cruise control and heated grips. It rains a lot these days here in Georgia but I ride when I can.
Absolutely loving my Energica, its a world apart from the Zeros I've owned.
Dude yesssss! Awesome 😁⚡🔋🇮🇹
Great video. Cool to learn some of the Energica history.
Cheers! Glad ya liked it.
You have become the lead marketing personnel for Energica! Excellent videos and now I would consider an Energica! Bravo! Ciao.
Wow, thank you! I was really lucky to get this opportunity. Energica makes great motorcycles so they're easy to promote 😁
And this is exactly why I’m saving up what I can to buy an Energica. Great quality product and great quality team behind it.
Yeah man! They're the best 😁 They deserve all the praise I can give them.
Wow what a fantastic surprise to wake up and see that NZL has uploaded a new video! Love that! ❤️🇮🇹
Cheers! 😁⚡🔋🇮🇹 It has been too long.
@@NewZeroland yes indeed! I miss you guys so much!
Ah man , so glad you both could experience that. What an incredible family to be a part of.
Thanks so much, Ray!
Thanks for this.
I'm so glad that you got so close to the company. That family feel will most likely disappear if they triple their production.
What a dream vacation!
Cheers man! Yeah I've heard Zero used to have a family feel, back before they swapped CEOs and got greedy. Zero wasn't started by an actual family though, and I think that's the difference here. Energica wants to sell more bikes but stay a smaller, specialized brand. I see them being more like MV Agusta rather than Ducati. We shall see though!
Nice to finally see the conclusion to this adventure. It'd be nice to see more companies take a smaller approach to things, they could always expand, but operate in small cells to keep that close tie to their customers.
Thanks! Yeah I really like this way of doing it. They're like the MC Agusta of electric motorcycles (I'll bring this up again in a future video I'm sure). Small and special. With their "Energica Inside" plan of providing components to other companies, I feel like electric motorcycles could finally become mainstream soon.
What an adventure. And what a company!
Yeah!! I love it 😁
Great video as always Sam 👍🏼
So cool!!! I'm in love with that all white in the thumb nail, holy hell that's a beautiful bike. Thumbs up of course, I mean come on do I even need to say that anymore. 🙃
Haha cheers bro!! Yeah, that white and purple Ego Corsa is in the lobby. We all need electric race bikes in our lives.
Nice to see a new video!
I'll get my Eva in 3 weeks, I've waited for so long that I need to see one so badly... XD
Your Eva is well worth the wait. Mine took 9 months to arrive once I put my deposit down. I love every ride I have on her.
Whoaaa congrats!! That's super exciting to hear. Like MotoriderJ says, it'll be worth the wait. These bikes and this company are the best around :D
It's just like any other motorcycle but with a GOD mode built in haha
Sam, just watching this makes me want an Energica soooooo bad it hurts. Fingers crossed my partner and myself should be in a position to order two of them in 12 months time 🤞.
I must say I love your videos, I do understand the time that goes into editing them and we appreciate that. Thank you 👌
Thanks Craig! That really means a lot 😁 I'm glad you liked this one. It's such a cool company and the people there are awesome. Whatever bike(s) you choose, they make the best.
@@NewZeroland Just the story about the company, the passion, love and care they have not just for their products but their customers is truly inspiring.
Goals for 2024, I have a Experia and my partner has an Ribelle RS on the wish list.🤞
@@craigst1300 Awesome!!
Awesome man! Well Done. Glad we were able to connect at HQ in SSF
Thanks dude! It was great to meet you too 😁 That's the last how-to video I'll make though haha. I'll leave it up to you guys!
@@NewZeroland You are a pro man! and we are slammed ha! keep'em coming
Those 125cc bikes look sweet. I hope Energica can make an electric version somewhere down the line.
Yeah man! I'd love to see a production version of their eCRP bikes someday too.

Great video, Sam! Thanks for sharing parts of your visit to the home of our bikes and the potted history of the company.
My brother and his wife moved to Italy a couple of years ago and I have currently in mind to visit them next summer on my Ribelle, and it would be rude not to go via Modena. 😁
Whoaaaaa what an epic trip that would be!!! I bet if you showed up on your Ribelle they would treat you like a celebrity :D
@@NewZeroland Not sure about the celebrity bit, but it would be kind of fun to ride it back to its birthplace.
Great to touch all the engineering points they did on purpose.
Thanks! It was so cool to chat with them about those, because we were all wondering about that stuff.
Thanks for the sneak peek at energica. Beginning stories are always fun to watch, especially an up and coming like energica. I think there’s a huge difference between customer courtesy and customer care. All companies are usually courteous to their customers, but most honestly suck at customer service. Seems like energica does an exceptional job at it and are thinking of how to scale it with the growth of the company. Glad you’re back on the ‘tube!!
Well said man!! It's a special company and I'm glad that comes across in these videos. It's hard to stay unbiased in this situation, but I still want to share the good and the bad of this electric experience. There just seems to be way more good stuff to share now that I've sold the Zero lol.
@@NewZeroland I’m the same with Harley at the moment. It’s hard to not become a die hard loyalist when you feel that you’re being treated fairly. I think if either company treated you or I differently, that perception would change accordingly. I’ve yet to go to a harley -dealer where I was mistreated or not had any issues addressed. Not to say there aren’t bad dealers out there, just that I’ve had good experiences so far. I’ve never heard of anyone having a bad experience with energica so far. I’m sure there’s the exception, but seems it’s quite rare. The US lead of Energica USA sales reached out to me a few months - with a phone call after I submitted an inquiry about the Experia. I think when the top of a company treats employees right, that extends to the customer interaction as well. Great people
@@AdventuresonZero yeah man! I feel ya 100%. Harley has such a strong community that it probably also feels like you joined a family. Not only did they build an amazing bike, but they continue to take care of you long after they made the sale. This is how it should be!! Honestly if Zero handled things better, I may have thought about buying another in the future. I was so deep into promoting them for free for years just because I loved the bikes. People used to call me a Zero shill! Now if they call me an Energica shill, I won't mind at all. The company deserves all the praise I can give them.
@@NewZeroland You and me both. Once my charger AND motor bearing failed (which Zero would only replace the motor at cost), I was done with the brand. My livewire is currently in the shop for SoC problems, but I believe it might be a cell balancing issue on my end - will see what they say and how it's handled. I got my second livewire, which will be a special project with my dealer in the months to come - just waiting on them to take some measurements on the Pan America ;)
@@AdventuresonZero YOU WHAT!?!?! :O ok that's exciting!!
awersome guys
unreal!!
Wow! Just amazing. You guys got the factory tour because you believe in Energica and they believe in you. Such a positive company to deal with I can't wait until I'm in a position to buy one. Keep the content coming its epic :)
Thanks man! They really are special company and I'll give them as much praise as I can, because they deserve it 😁
Ha finally I get why they kept the noise on the engine and some other questions I didn't know I had. Thanks!
Glad that cleared it up! I was curious too. I asked why they didn't use quieter gears, and they said it would lose too much power.
I am so jealous!!!
Even without the bikes, it looks like a great holiday.
Thanks! I was the best trip ever and I can't wait to go back.
What a great report, great company and great bikes. I've seen an interview with the female company director, she knows her stuff and is quite a character. Hope one day the motor moves into the rear wheel which makes all that gear and chain stuff obsolete and gives so much more design space for the battery. I have reserved an Aptera (3 wheeler) but the Experia would be awesome too. Gotta ride one one day. Thanks for Jen's smiles and your great editing, tops.
Cheers man! Yeah Livia is super cool. They was really busy while we were visiting but still took time to meet with us before we left. The Experia feels like the next step into an amazing world of Energicas and I'm so excited about that bike. Definitely take one for a test ride whenever they come out!
Hey:)
I disagree that the motor should be in the rear wheel. You can see hub motors on any scooters, because of the upsides you mentioned: simple and no chain.
But it has a reason you shouldn't put a more powerful motor in the wheel: it weights a lot and it's unsprung mass. That's really harsh on the motor, gives bad suspension feel and most importantly make you'll have really bad gyroscopic effect.
Let's keep chains and belts!:)
@@DerKrawallkeks I actually converted a 250 Ninja to 8kW hub. Top speed 120km/h and done 20000km by now. Yes, I was worried about unsprung mass (+11Kg in my case) but there is zero difference in comfort.....and we have bad roads out here. Nix gyo effect, garnix. Alles nur dumme Theorie. Only issue is heat....it needs liquid cooling if you go fast for extended periods. The only moving parts are the wheel bearings....nothing to service nothing wears out. I ordered an Aptera with 3 50kW hub motors, liquid cooled. Hub is the future. Kette macht Krawall und geht mir auf den Keks😃👍
@@moestrei Ja schon:D Hub ist ne schöne Lösung und für einige Anwendungen ja auch top, dein Moped zB geht ja dann noch. Aber wenn man 80kW statt 8kW haben will, oder auch nur 40, dann wird's doch sehr schwer. Ich glaub dir dass man bei dir vllt Gyro mäßig noch nichts merkt, aber das ist schon n realer Effekt, der bei höherer Geschwindigkeit und Masse dann relevant wird.
Also es gibt gute Argumente für beides, halt in unterschiedlichen Leistungsklassen
@@moestrei ziemlich cooler Umbau übrigens!
friend- goodn ight~ epic .=)
Ya gotta get me one of these.
Werry good vid brah... 👌
Cheers broooo! We miss you! When's your next video???
@@NewZeroland it will take a while.. but i will have a lot news
@@NewZeroland BTW i sold my computer. The Energica dealer bought it. Its the Alienware i cut all my videos. So much news for today. Abd.. i will keep my chanell english also in the future. mayb mixed... who knows.
@@LexSummer whoaaaaa!! 😵 So much!
Soo so lovely! I want to be a part of this family. Maybe when productions costs will be lower and the final product won't cost as much as I make in 1 and a half years. 😅
I feel ya man. These are highend bikes similar to MV Agustas. We need more of an entry level Aprilia 😂
So cool! I was riding the Dolomites at around the time the Experia was launched and when I found out the Energica factory was on my ride north from Rome to the Alps I had to stop by. It was a Sunday so that was pretty much a bust. Glad to see your video though and see what I missed. Thanks for the history lesson on what sounds to be a really cool company. Now to figure out how to buy an Experia in Canada...
Oh wow, awesome! Small world :D That is a beautiful part of the world, and paradise for motorcyclists. Hopefully they open up a dealer in Canada soon. I know there are a few private imports now, but only a few.
@@NewZeroland I spent about 2.5 months in Europe and rode 13,500 km. Looking back on my trip I think an Experia would have been perfect.
@@Ekke61 whoaaaa! Yeah I guess my next question is about daily mileage / km's ridden. How far was your longest day? Do you think an Experia could do it, with a charging stop or something?
@@NewZeroland I rode in four parts really, the boot of Italy, from Rome to Frankfurt, a couple of weeks in the Dolomites and then a trip from Munich to Andorra and back. In each of those segments (also known as the fun bits!) the riding days would be 200 to 300 km. I thought that with the slow speeds and regen that the Experia could do the whole day on a single charge. I wasn’t looking for hotels with charging but about a quarter of the ones I stayed at had Level 2 charging stations. The remainder had a wall plug so that you could slow charge overnight. On the transit stages on the autobahn I thought that most rest areas had Level 3 charging so you could easily charge up while you had a cappuccino and a croissant. A quick look at PlugShare showed that there were lots of opportunities to charge everywhere I went. Also, my 2007 BMW R1200GSA has similar horsepower, torque and weight and it was a blast to ride, so I imagine the Experia would also be a lot of fun!
@@Ekke61 That sounds so perfect! Somehow I thought gas touring bikers did 1000km+ days 😂 but everybody I've talked to has said the same as you. More than 300km means you're missing all the cool places you're riding through. So yeah the Experia would be amazing!
👊
Love it, although its not that I'm 'going off' the naked Ribelle RS, I'm really now getting pulled to the Ego+ RS. I think I just like it all covered up. Easier to clean too :) Anyway, love your videos.
Thanks man! I agree. The Ego's styling is amazing and I miss the aerodynamics.
Dude I want an Energica just as soon as they make an adventure tourer. Something with a 19” or 21” front and extended range.
Like an Experia with a bigger front wheel??
Thanks for sharing Sam, it's a shame you couldn't show us more of the factory but I guess when you're at the pinnacle of e-bike engineering, you have to protect your intellectual property.
A nice way to round off the trip would have been a review of the Energica branded scooter, I can just imagine you and Jen zipping through the Dolomites at a dizzying 20 kph 😂
HAHA ok I need to fly back just to ride that thing now. And it's funny to say this, but they didn't want me showing the production line because they thought it was "messy" XD They were in the process of moving things around so there were boxes all over (you can see a stack of them in the showroom) so they thought it wasn't clean enough to present publicly online. If I get a chance to go back in the future I'll ask if I can shoot better video.
What Sam said. when I went to the corporate HQ in San Francisco to pick up my bike, they didn't want me to take pictures because they thought it was too messy. Only makes sense that they would feel this way about the production line.
That makes sense, some people might think it "unprofessional". We had the same thing at an airfield I worked at. Every year the boss man would come and inspect us and we had to have a full spring clean and paint for his visit.. He must have thought we were a right bunch of layabouts 😂
@@andrewmorgan6775 😂 haha sounds about right. I'm sure Energica wanted to make a better impression but I visited at a bad time. Definitely need to go back!
👍
I agree with everything you just said
:] you know it first hand, Ed. Energica is the coolest!
It’s actually one of the first things I tell people. The bike is awesome the company is the work of art!
Man, the last 10 years we've seen range double and charging come down to minutes. Just imagine ten years from now...... :)
Right?? As soon as they get liquid cooling into the bikes to support a 10 min full charge, it's over. Gas is dead.
Solid state graphene batteries are next. No chemical conversion here, no temperature management required, high energy density and lasts forever.
@@moestrei I am hoping they figure out how to mass produce solid state batteries by the time my battery pack needs to be replaced. It already charges fast, and has good range. Now find a way to make it have 100lbs less weight and charge faster with the same range, that would be the real end of ICE.
@@NewZeroland Factor in solar power doing the same...we'll be laughing. :)
This is so cool! I'm going to be in Bologna in a few weeks and didn't realize how close I would be to their HQ. Do you think it's possible to arrange a visit (or even better, a test ride) while I'm there? Any suggestions on who to reach out to? I love the family vibe you described!
Oh nice! I'm not sure actually. I don't know if they do test rides there, but send an email to info@energicamotor.com or call them up when you're over there: +39 0597231722 and see if you can get a tour!
@@NewZeroland I just sent them a message on WhatsApp. Will see, fingers crossed!
Really nice the Energica factory!
BTW when did you got out of the trunk...?
Who says I got out?? 😂😵
@@NewZeroland 😂🤣 poor dude.
C'mon we want you enjoying your Energicas!!
We need a few more fast chargers locally (Mpls/St. Paul MN) before I'd be ready to join the Energica family. But I'm hoping in a few years to make the switch.
Nice!! As long as there are stations within 100 miles, you should be good.
I guess those were solar panels all along the roof, very nice use of plenty of Italian sun. I was familiar with some of the history and the fact they were a branch of a racing parts parent company. Here's the big question. How many other projects did they have in line, close to full development, prior to the Ideanomics take over? I mean obviously the Experia was in the works already. No details of course but but any ballpark number?
I remember an interview with Livia where she talked about building an electric car, but that it was too early so they didn't pursue that. Then the electric motorcycles raced at Isle of Man and they went that route instead. Things could have been way different! The Ideanomics deal sounds like it'll get Energica components in the hands of lots of other companies, so we'll see lots more EV conversions, electric boats, etc!
Cool vid thanks Sam....are you guys heading to the Burt Munro rally in Feb?
Thanks! Nahh not this time, unfortunately. Our families are coming over in Feb so we'll be tour guides right when the Burt Munro is happening.
@@NewZeroland no worries. .hope to scope ya bikes one day....have fun with the in-laws... 😎
Zero has been really disappointing, their treatment to you is like night and day. Glad to see your enjoying your new bikes and even had the oppurtunity to go on a trip to the factory. As to the chain vs belt it makes a lot of sense and is probably for the best however I still think the belt sounds better xD. That take of on Zero has that cool electric bike sound.
Thanks man! Yeah I agree. Belts definitely sound better and the maintenance is way less.
Did you get to see them building my Esse Esse 9? : D
Maybe! They had more bikes on the production line than I could count.
I love what Energica is doing, but to me, they are more like a boutique manufacturer as from the looks they won't be able to scale up as Tesla did. Maybe one day ...
Yeah for sure. At the moment there aren't any big brands making electric motorcycles. I think they're waiting for Energica and others to do all the hard work before jumping in. That makes Energica even more special to me 😁
@@NewZeroland Agree, I feel like the big boys holding back for sure.
First :D
Omg 😂
Pinaero has one purpose in life what have you done
Do we need to do a wellness check on Pinaero? I'm demanding proof of life.
If the gyroscopic effect was horizontal wouldn't that improve stability?
That's a great question O__O
@@NewZeroland
Maybe it's vertical for aerodynamics ?
@@MilesBellas mounting the motor on its side would make it pretty complicated to drive the wheel.. unless the wheel was also on its side like Back to the Future!
I realy realy want to get an Energica as soon as i get my licence. Just hope i can afford one.
Yeah man!! They're the coolest :D
Is like that: Cost a lot to buy but pays for itself if used a properly. Paid $50k for a second hand Tesla, drive 30.000km/a, rarely pay for charging (solar at home, free lifetime Supercharging), no maintenance cost, all that saves me around $6000 (AUD) per year.
I once had an energica Ego but due to the Weight and handling wise It is quite a difference To a Zero SR - had Ego Number 48 at the start - had a Crash and Wasnt really Riding for 5-6 years because of a Trauma from the Crash - Customer Service was Great and i had It reparied in Modena back then and later traded It in for My Zero sr 2017 that i am riding today After getrimmt over the Trauma with a Shock Treatment in Rainy Weather (Repair cost was about 10-13 k € paid By the Insurance)
Wow! Sorry to hear that. I know what you mean with the older Egos. That first generation was crazy heavy and not easy to ride. I'm happy to say the new bikes feel completely different :) But a 2017 Zero SR is also a super fun bike. Glad you're able to ride again!
@@NewZeroland cool to hear that the handling has been improved- Insurance price was also Crazy Back then in Germany was over 1400€ per year more than My Tesla Model S. I even took extra Racing Driving school hours to handle the Bike Back then and was in Special Trainings 😃. Was pretty Crazy with that Trauma i felt like My wheels were slipping Even at Great weather and driving straight
@@markstasius4401 oh yeah! I remember test riding a 2017 Ego before they had traction control and it was scary fast. Wheel spin at 100km/h haha. Way too crazy!
4:27 using 3 gears in the power train means the motor rotates in the same direction as the wheels - this can be clearly seen in the animation.
2 gears would provide counter rotation.
HAHA you're right. I must have done something wrong XD
Good catch! But as the motor is perpendicular to the 'tilt line' of the bike the gyroscopic effect is neglectable. I ride an old Moto Guzzi.....you blib the throttle and you feel it 😄
@@moestrei On MotoGP bikes the wheel speed and crank speeds are high enough to affect the rate that the bikes can tip into a turn.
Unless you are a MotoGP rider on a MotoGP track you'll never notice the difference
@@NewZeroland Did you create the animation , or is it Energica's?
If it is yours ,you have put in an idler gear where there probably isn't one.
If it is Energica's someone in marketing made a boo-boo
@@paulg3336 haha it was me.. there are 3 gears in there but I have no idea what else is in there causing it to spin opposite to the wheels. Those gears might be spinning the other way for all I know haha. I'll ask the engineers more about how it works.
5:30 is it a Agni motor?
Not sure but it kinda looks like it!
Great report! Glad I have a Ribelle rs. Looks like sondors is taking a different approach to customer service. NONE. I have no idea what the status of my Metacycle is. I know they've lied to me or at least misinformed me. The production bike is quite different than the prototype including the specs. They didn't tell anyone. The first customers are the ones showing what the bikes look like now and it's decreased specs from what was promised. Sad. I may hate the company before I even get the bike!
Enough with my rant. I hope energica makes a cruiser bike. I'd buy one. Or maybe 2.
Aw man! I saw that the battery was waaaay smaller than what I expected for the range they were claiming. That's such a bummer. I'm sorry that it turned out this way. Sadly I feel like Damon will be the same. Those specs are basically impossible to meet in real life, and IF they release a production bike, I doubt it will ever live up to the hype the company has created. With Energica, they've had all these years of R&D and racing to find out what the bikes can do, so when they come out with new models, we know they'll be awesome.
@@NewZeroland exactly! Perhaps I stick to buying motorcycles that actually exist.
Any plans to make a electric unicycle?
I would love to try one! But nope, not yet 😂
@@NewZeroland i"ve done over 10k in the first 1.5yrs of riding. Its addicting. I love my motorcycle, but a euc in tow is the ultimate combo package.
@@pandabike3826 wow! Ok you've sold me. I need to try one.
Brother energica ego all part details explain (anypart ) plzz
What do you want to know?
Just awaiting a dealer in the metropolitan Atlanta area
Word was WOW didn't want to because they didn't want to hurt their Zero relationship. Maybe Blue Moon?
Seems smarter to have some electric tech guys already on board.
So you’ve switched over from zeros to energicas? Just because they have more range and aren’t doing the stupid pay for upgrades thing?
Oh man, so many reasons 😂 More performance, DC fast charging, better build quality, a company that cares about its riders.. and Energicas feel like motorcycles. Zeros are fun but they feel like toys in conparison, with cheap components that don't like getting wet. I'll never go back.
Thanks for the reply!! Which energica would be closest in style to the zero ds? I’m wanting a bike with a more upright position, closer to a dual sport than a bullet bike.
@@jacobmarillion6189 definitely the Experia. Price-wise they're in different leagues (I think the Experia starts at $23k USD) but it's a huge step up in every way.
I don't know you reading my comment or not but if you are reading please let me know the ego rs price at your place.
The price varies in every country.. I think in Europe they're €30k euros. In the US they're something like $25k USD.
I really want that engine in a supermoto style bike, lighter, 200km range would be fine. I'm not sure though, doesn't seem like Italian bike maker favor the SM much, more so racing and touring.
Never know! I think they started off making sportbikes to get peoples' attentions.. then a touring bike for more practical use on road trips.. next I'm sure they'll make a more affordable option, hopefully lighter weight!
So for non RS models if one would desire same preformance all you would need to do is put a 15 tooth front instead of 16 and save $1500. Sounds like a good deal to me 💁
Not exactly.. they also load a different power map onto the controller so your launch is even crazier but you still get similar range. The magic is worth it!
@@NewZeroland I know. Thanks for the reply Sam
Wanna sell my 2017 DSR more and more every video hehe
😂😂😂 I support this!
Sir Italy prime minister Giorgia meloni sir please establish energica ego electric motorcycle factory in india.India don't have Italy energica ego electric motorcycles
Now if only Energica would make a bike with 11 kW of nominal power like Zero does...
You see, here in Europe I can drive a motorcycle with my car driver's license as long as nominal power is 11 kW or less. Zero has got a specific version of the S, with 11 kW of nominal power but 44 kW of peak power that a n00b like me is allowed to drive.
So I could get a Zero S, drive it on my car license (don't have a motor license) and still enjoy the full performance of the bike.
Energica, are you listening?
Energica makes performance bikes, which is what sets them apart from Zero. I don't see any reason someone without a motorcycle license should be on a motorcycle.
@@NewZeroland fair point
But one can always dream
And I live in a tiny country with lots of highways, so scooters are too slow, so it's either a car or a motorcycle
Why bother with e-bike if it costs 2x the amount as ICE equivalent bike? This is no-go for me...
Oh boy. How much does gas cost these days? I honestly have no idea 😂
@@NewZeroland At my location (Czechia, central Europe) its 1.5 € per liter while electricity cost 0.5€ per kWh.
I ride my Suzuki Katana on average between 110-190 km/h. At these speeds, it jugs 6l/100km. At 90km/h its around 4-5 liter/100km
As in video v=Vd8AmSchhXI they say that energica at "car speeds" (around 70-90km/h as seen in video) it consumes 8kWh/100km
So cost for 100km is 0.5*8= 4 €/100km in electricity
or 1.5*6=9€/100km in gas for my Katana
Usually bikes are sold at 60 000km distance ridden, so over that time I will spend 5400€ in fuel or 2400€ in electricity.
BUT: Suzuki Katana costs 11 000€ while Energica Ribelle cost 22 100€.
It is worth to have ICE motorcycle.
I run some calculation in excel at you have to ride 222 000km to break even. Show me somebody who has ridden 200 000km on "naked or sport" bike...
If I have to chose extra, if I want to be stranded for 40+minutes at charger or 2 minutes at gas station, its ICE motorcycle all the way...
No way how anybody sane would chose electric bike. Electricity is for e-scooters.
@@TheSkace haha you can't compare a Suzuki Katana to a Ribelle. They aren't even in the same league. It makes more sense to compare a Ducati Streetfighter or MV Agusta Brutale. These are highend Italian bikes and they aren't much more expensive than those. Also, charging at home is cheaper and some stations are free. Charging overnight at motels is also free. Electric isn't all about the money though. They need less maintenance, they're more reliable, and they don't emit toxic smoke while you're riding them. Continuing to buy gas is a choice, and I don't want to do that anymore.
@@NewZeroland Its the same league... Its derived from sportbike and has 150HP
@@TheSkace build quality and prestige between Japanese and Italian bikes can't be compared. Also Energicas have double the torque of a Katana haha.
Ok dude....this is just bragging now 🤣🤣🤣
YOLO 😂✌
