Hi RJ, Energica owner here, I have noticed that your TC kept intervening on hard acceleration, I can't tell from the video on which level it is set up, but I would recommend (if road condition allow) to set it between 1 and 3, it will still save you if things go south, without limiting too much the power output on hard accelerations, ENJOY!
@@royaljordanian For future reference: there is a trigger on the back of the left control cluster (the one you press to access the riding modes menu) if you long press it, you will access the TC menu.
Hasn't once been a problem on my Zero in 60k miles which is many times quieter than this. I got pulled over on an Energica, and the first thing the cop said was "that thing's electric? I heard it making a funny noise back there so I figured it had to be"
8:13 Lol, imagine revving up your loud sportsbike at green lights, only to be completely dusted by a singularity'ish Star Wars speeder'ish thing a second later.
Most stupid thing I've ever heard. I bought a bike because of the sound. How more aggressive the sound how better. Or you are a girl. Girls like quiet cars
I’m about to get a 2021 eva ribelle RS, schedule to get delivered mid March here in Scottsdale. I was seriously considering one of those as well, let me ask you about the weight, is it a bear? Rude height?
@@merlinrazzo5022 I think you made the right choice. I came from taller bikes like KLRs so I wanted a more upright riding position; naturally I gravitated towards the SS9. As I've become a more confident road rider, I got to test an EVA for a week and found I quite like the more aggressive seating. I don't think you can go wrong either way. Your bike will be about 40lbs lighter than mine, and yeah it's a bit porky at lower speeds. Not a big deal for me. But hey, it's also got reverse and park assist! Yaaay. The height of the bike is absolutely fine for me at 6'2"

Honestly these e-bikes are really impressive, especially this one and I am now tempted to buy one TBH. The only thing that worries me is being even more invisible in traffic, without the pipes - especially to pedestrians!
9:50 Normally you charge between 20%-80/85%. Above 85% the charging speed drops. Charging to the max is what I do overnight, at home, on AC. At 87% I wouldn't even think of charging. DC fast-charging is for when you're travelling further than the battery range. When I have to fast-charge, I only charge for how much further I have to go - otherwise I plug it in in AC at home or work or wherever. You've got to change the way you look at charging and the fast-charging stations, it's not like you're used to fuel-pumps.
I couldn't agree more on "change the way you look at charging". The only "problem" that people think about EV is the range. EVs just require careful planning and they'd turn out to be just fine, as performance isn't really an issue.✌️
@@rickrides8352 well you are really lucky, in India charging stations are hard to come across (thats is currently changing but would require time) and hybrid vehicles are expensive thanks to our taxation system. Till then Indians would continue enjoying the fossil fuel burners. 😊
@@Orange_390 I still need an app to find charging stations :-) But if you for example go to plugshare, filter on CCS/SAE only in the Netherlands, you see the amount of fast-charging stations. And, I thought that India was making progress on esp. electric scooters/smaller motorbikes, just b/c of the air pollution?
At 14:43 you forget to reinsert charging covers before lowering seat.Damn electric bikes,so much to remember! I would like to have seen more pictures of this machine but what you showed,I liked. thanks RJ.
I have an electric reverse as standard on my GoldWing, and it's invaluable. Sometimes you can't paddle a 400kg bike backwards, uphill, in the rain. Bike looks great.
I see you ride that less aggressive around traffic and intersections because no one can hear you coming vs the Husqvarna :P but the ridiculous fast fly by never gets old (2:35). This thing is a beauty and is making me want to start riding!
Fast charging goes fastest when battery level is low. Typically you should start charge low and end around 85%... it depends a bit between each brand. But over 80-90% the charge speed is greatly reduced because battery is getting full...Greetings from an EV driver since 7 years back....
Not quite sure why ...but the combination of shy biker and his comment plus RJ and his engagement followed by the pull away put me on the floor laughing
Weirdly that's my dad. He's actually a very good motorcyclist, winning the classic motorcycle championship in south africa. Watching this gave me quite a shock.
I missed your explanation about the riding experience. The charging is interesting, of course, but not specific for this bike. I’ll wait for the next video.
at 1min in i thought you were being followed by an electric milk float - later on ....... still convinced it's an electric milk float!! not sure i can live without one of my senses not being stimulated? cheers for the share.
nope, only electric power doesnt solve the main problem.... Hybrid motors are the main solution these days, next option is to invent how to made a hydrogen for cheap...
At 8:30 you comment on the Harley Livewire not charging at that particular station. I had a Livewire for 3 days and returned it for a full refund, because it would not charge at the Level 3 stations in the N.Georgia towns where I ride to for the twisty mountain roads. There are no other charging alternatives and I would be dependent on those chargers to use the bike. The chargers work fine for all the cars that plug in, but not the Livewire. Big disappointment because I really liked everything about the bike. The look, the acceleration, performance, handling, balance, seating position, all fantastic. It just wouldn’t charge. After it was plugged in, the display just said “communicating” endlessly.
For being an electric bike, I am surprised it sounds like a beast but honestly nothing beats the Nuda's monstrous noise. I should also not be surprised since electric bikes have gotten more advanced over the years and that is one heck of a cool electric bike RJ. I love it including the colour scheme to. The Red, Black and Gold always go well together. 😎👍
Youre going to have to adjust the intro from the 'BRRAP whoaaa' to the 'wheeeeeeeeee' for these electric bike rides !
Yes!! Do it
Brap brap way more to exciting
Ahahahah 😂

Beautiful bikes brother.
It's not the same seeing rj on ebike
I think we will be changing from "Sorry mate I didn't see you" to "Sorry mate I didn't HEAR you"??? Sounds so wrong on an RJ Video?

@@firmbutton6485 When it comes to motorcycles I believe they’re equally fun regardless of what powertrain they use.
RJ, you forgot to shake the plug off and hold it horizontally before you took it out.
That made me both laugh and then sigh at the future
It got me sometime before it sink in my cute brains lol 😂😂😂
Best proposition so far in my opinion when it comes to electric bikes. I like the sound it makes, it's not full silence.
OMG, I can't wait for everyone to go electric, the peace and quiet will be amazing, sick and tired if traffic noise all day long. Nice bike
Tires make the most noise on normal cars and vehicles.

4:46 McDonald's which was the record store in the film A Clockwork orange.
The beauty of a loud bike is that other drivers hear you coming, which makes city riding safer.
but at what cost? just go a bit slower and drive predictably and you wont need a loud bike that damages peoples mental health

That was rapid

Wow, that bike seems interesting. Love the style!

Do you ever find when you’re slowing down, you go to blip the throttle as if to Rev match and lurch? 😂
Not the same watching without the noise! :)
rj new intro brap crickets
Good looking bike , the reason they recommend you leave it till fully charged is the it needs balance all the cells in the battery.
nah, I think you are wrong about that. I believe the cells are always balanced these days. There is some technology making sure of that
That guy on the Indian didn’t know he was next to royalty
Terima kasih banyak bang RJ, tayangan nya selalu memberikan sesuatu. Mostly inspiring❤🙂
Good performance!
