I was thrilled to hear Jay say that he "fell in love" with the Energica street model. This is a big PR boost for electric vehicles which are at least three times less polluting than the ICE counterparts. I would also love an Energica but it's frankly out of my price range, and to be honest, it has way more power than I can handle. In February 2022 I bought an electric RGNT Classic from Sweden. It is equivalent to a 125 cc, but has the torque of a 400 cc. It's more than enough to kill me.
Thanks Jay, I always appreciate the fact that you're for the motorist, and you understand (better than most) that there's all kinds of motors. Another great video.
Some are motors. Some are engines.
@@shockerzevworld5911 all engines are motors....
Those last few frontal shots of Jay riding toward the camera, he looked like part of the machine, good times.
This is so exciting!! I've owned an Energica for the past few years and love these bikes and the company. Best electric motorcycles available, hands down. Not enough people know Energicas exist, so thank you for spreading the word!
agreed!
I'm interested in your usertag? Why?
@@akadacat Check out some of his videos and it will make more sense.
@@akadacat It's a play on words because I used to own a Zero electric motorcycle and live in New Zealand. Now I own a bunch of Energicas :D
@@ronramey3760 I used to own a Zero SR and also a DSR. They're really fun bikes but they have lots of problems and the company's customer service sucks. Energica is a million times better 😁
Stefano and Laurence are really helpful, and after owning 2 energicas now, I have to say this company treats you like family, unlike the big corporations. cant wait to try their new adventure bike

What I love most about electric vehicles, motorcycles and cars, is they are market disrupters. It doesn't necessarily mean the death of the internal combustion engine, but rather the needed improvement and evolution over time to both. It provides another option or way to do what we already do and love. As a motorcyclist myself, I would love to get an Energica one day. I would also have to get a custom helmet to look like Boba Fett! 😀 Oh, and a Fennec Shand helmet for my wife!
cobalt in these batteries has blood all over it
@@skateinspace You don't need cobalt for batteries. And stop crying man, it doesn't have this way. Any ideas what Shell did in Nigeria, and how the crude oil ends up at your favourite fossil stations?
A neighbour of mine test rode an Energica bike and was very impressed. He's a long time motorcyclist and has owned a variety of 2 and 4 stroke ICE machines. His current rides are mainly a BMW GS and R Nine T.

The sound in the Stephano’s helmet is like Someone’s subconscious. Kinda cool and Eerie at the same time.
I'm a 3-year Energica owner myself. The bikes are great, and they're an amazing company!
▪️Thanks for commenting, make a note to Enos Gardner regarding BTC/ETH investment ideas and let him know I referred you......
I hear great things about Energica's customer service
Fantastic to finally see these. I’m excited to have more competition in this small market
Good to see this company finally get some exposure. These bikes are so much more technically advanced at all levels than the e-bike competition.
Thanks for the great history lesson Mr. Leno, great information on electric bikes🙏🏽
The get roughly the same or less miles per charge than a petrol powered superbike ...when you get into standard UJM like a Triumph Bonneville, Honda CB series ..you speaking of over 50 mpg or more ... SO....what is the point owning one...??? How can you tell if these very expensive electric motorcycles are something accepted vs a petrol powered..look at the used market..already a glut on new model years from 2020, 2021...but owners are selling their electric bikes.. After mid-terms the electric insanity stops...not saying we should not seek alternative modes to power transportation..move gradually into electric things in general i.e. mowers, tools, etc..but FORCING it on Americans when we're in or about to deal w/ a recession..even Bezos says it will be bad ..selling $70,000 electric vehicles in which many dealers are adding a $10-$30,000 'surcharge' non-refundable $5,000-$10,000 down payments which is illegal by the way..is insanity when overwhelming majority cannot afford these vehicles.. nor will they tolerate those who force this climate-change electric crap on them either.. Pure fantasy and transitory .....after November 8th ..2022, Biden 2024....back to $2 gas. prosperity
@@carlmayer691 Unless you have severe brain damage, which you clearly have, you will understand that this is a premium product like most other sports bikes. The technology used is quite young which is why it's expensive, but price and range aside, these bikes are superior to any old Triumph or Honda you find on Craigslist. The "fuel" and maintenence alone is mere pennies compared to old gas bikes.
Based on your writing skills I'm guessing you are quite old, so luckily you will soon be dead and us young people will have a chance to fix all the problems you caused.
Electric is the future, so lay off your conspiratorial ramblings and get with the times!
Can you explain what makes these more advanced than the livewire?
@@Dave-sw2dm their battery density and recharge times for one, and their competition tech transfer. this brand raced in moto-e as the EV bike counterpart to Motogp in 2021 and 2022, and starting in 2023 will be in the field with ICE bikes in the motoamerica series. This is will be an EV bike, against full IC racebikes. i was invited last year to Laguna Seca where they had to prove to motoamerica officials that they could compete in the IC filed. I watched their road bike (not a race version) the EVO, do a 1:33 lap time! That is fully midfield times in motoamerica. They then sustained a race pace for an entire motoamerica race simulation. I don't see harley or zero or anyone else trying this stuff.
Jay demonstrates his International National pride. It’s a small world. Very cool bikes! (Wondering about chain stretch due to high torque input) lol
Love your passion. Awoo!
66 years old. ICE vehicle driver for 50+ years. Now absolutely converted to EVs. No going back. Took my EV on a 5,500 mile cross country road trip in July, and can’t wait to go on another one soon!
I need to get rid of my ICE motorcycle and get one of these. I already know the whining about charge times and the “need” for 300+ mile range are baseless. Glad I live in the real world.
Thanks for bringing these great bikes to my attention, Jay!
That's awesome, Ernest! What are you riding and where did you go?
Where in the US did you go that was 5,500 miles away? Seattle to Miami is only about 4,000 miles.
@@stizanley3987 not every cross country trip is a straight line
@@AdventuresonZero he must have been doing loops, or maybe started in Canada
@@stizanley3987 some people like to make the most of cross country trips, not many are linear, those are the best!!
The Times We Live In!
This is legit, Back to the Future Stuff.
I would own one of these in a second.
I’d love to ride a ev bike, but too many crazies on the road for me to feel comfortable.
@@jekutube9 crazies are out there for the ICE motorcycles too!🤣
I took to my Zero S right from the start. No learning curve or weirdness whatsoever. I have gas bikes and they mostly sit now. 10,000 miles and 2 years later I can't live without it.
As a proud owner of 2022 Energica EsseEsse 9+ its great to see Jay give the company more exposure. Electric bikes are still a very niche product but they’re getting better and better every year. Once the price comes down and the range gets to around 200 miles per charge I’m hoping to see a lot more people buy into them.
Why? The EV movement isn’t the right way to go
@@michaelmaas5544 are you talking about motorcycles or vehicles in general? Here in California EVs will eventually become the dominant form of transportation. I don’t think it’ll happen by the 2035 government mandate but it will eventually. It doesn’t hurt to root for better prices and efficiency.
@@michaelmaas5544 what do you think the right way to go is?
@@deetjay if you think it will be cheaper in the long run you’re going to be disappointed. Gas taxes raise billions for state, local and federal government if gas taxes disappear you don’t believe they will shift those over to electricity? EVs are just like batteries made to be disposable like everything thing else in today’s society.
Tire consumption alone should be a concern, with their weight they chew up tires at almost twice the rate of ICE cars.
The amount energy used to mine the materials to manufacture batteries is already extremely high and we’ve only just begun
50-60% of cobalt is in the Democratic Republic of Congo, not a place with a great history of labor laws to say the least. It’s 40,000 estimated children are currently
working in those mines for $1-2 dollars a day. It’s demand has tripled in the past 5 years and expected to do so again in the next 5.
The mining of Lithium and nickel are also terrible for the environment. They are pushing a terrible solution to a problem that isn’t nearly as big as they have lead most people to believe.
I’ve yet to figure out why they’ve all but pushed hybrids to the side. I firmly believe more people would be on board if they didn’t have to have “range anxiety” 🤦♂️
or know they could still jump in their car and go on a road trip without having to stop every 200-300 miles in search of a charging station.
I won’t even get into recycling, power grids, fire hazards, easy manipulation of when you can charge or the fact they could totally shut your car down if they wanted.
@@NewZeroland I’m not sure honesty but jumping feet first into EV isn’t it. I responded to someone else here with a few reasons even the CEO Akio Toyoda of Toyota recently said it
is overly ambitious to think we can rid ICE vehicles in the foreseeable future. There will be shortages of lithium and battery grade nickel in the near future guaranteed.
And honestly I’m on the side of science that says man made climate change is nearly the problem we’ve been pushed to believe.
Take a look into the International climate science coalition led by Tom Harris
As far as I know this company's philosophy is DIFFERENT than Zero's. On the Zero, you have to pay for features like reverse which is horrible business practice.
Who rides in reverse??
@@pennywise5752 …We would all use reverse if it was free. And it might cost Zero 50 cents to make that happen
@@beals6631 if you’re young/fit, reverse is totally unnecessary (unless it’s a goldwing or some other big cruiser)…I personally wouldn’t use it.
@@pennywise5752 that isn't the point. Even if 1% of people would use it (and in reality many more would), it costs an electric moto brand almost nothing to feature it.
That being the case, it puts on display good business practice vs poor business practice.
@@zebatrizon1 I’m guessing this thing is as heavy as a gold wing.
Until they get them lighter than a MotoGP but with at least 100-200 hp
And a range comparable to a 4cyl sport bike
I don’t see these guys turning profit anytime soon. I think they need to reimagine the Shape. Like the guy said. A little guy made it a long way it was as if the bike had no rider. You could do a lot to make something with these inerds more invisible to drag.
But to do that you have to be ok with a totally different image.
What I like about electric motorcycles is that with enough development we will finally have over 200 miles of range out of a motorcycle. Manufacturers keep fitting smaller gas tanks in all kinds of bikes and the range is atrocious.
I own a z6 electric and it has been the best purchase I've ever made. E-motos are the future, especially with more traffic and higher gas prices.
all the best buddy🎉🎉 congratulations🎉 let's talk on telegram you've been randomly selected among today's (GIVEAWAY)🎊.
10:55 My regen has been set to max since I took possession of it and has remained there since. Even on cannonballs. Some have told me I’d gain more efficiency if I set it lower or turned it off completely, but I prefer it on max for a number of reasons, and my efficiency continues to remain higher than other Enérgica riders on road trips with theirs set lower. Again, maybe there’s some other factors to consider (steady throttle hand, choosing when to decelerate, etc) but I can attest that maximum regen works very well for me when it comes to maximizing efficiency.
9:59 I left Beaumont Friday morning.. rode to Anaheim, took the 91 to the 15 to the 395 up the back side of the Sierras to Reno. Stayed the night. Rode around Lake Tahoe Sat, then to DT San Francisco, stayed the night, Rode down to San Diego Safari Park Sunday, spent the day at the park with friends, had dinner and rode back early, arriving in Beaumont by Monday morning.
DC fast charging and long range is what sets this electric bike apart from any other EM to complete lengthy journeys, all in a single weekend.
Pretty cool bikes and look great! I think I’d keep my r ninet for the super old school feel and get one of these for the new school feeling and have a perfect duo in the garage
These bikes are beautiful. Not for everyone but they are powerful and instantly have torque. Would love to see how an EV adv bike would do range wise.
Love my Eva Ribelle, absolute blast to ride.
The day of EV bikes being part of the mainstream is here, great Job Stefano awsome presentation.
As much as I may have my own opinions on the EV movement, this is cool to see, a part of history for sure!
17:58 I use reverse every time I back into my driveway which is on an incline. An invaluable feature and one I wouldn’t want to be without on any motorcycle going forward.
but you can't use reverse on a motorcycle going forward.
@@anxiousappliance ah.. I see what you did there 😄 100 thumbs up for you!
Thank you for the great show. I love Energica. Your review is fantastic. Thanks again.
Their new Experia is going to make a huge impact in the industry!
that is the one I have on my list, for short rides and daily commute, but I am planning to keep my S1000XR alongside it for travel and longer rides.
Yes i tried it .. ordered it !!!
Ah....no they won't....there is already a used glut of these for sale....why do you believe that's happening.. BECAUSE THEY ARE SOULESS SISSY BIKES ....maybe OK for commuters ...
@@carlmayer691 the new experia is another step in the right direction .. used electric bikes are worth not much as every year better and better bikes come to market ... ps . Never by zero ! .. they are american and they suck !!! .. livewire is good though :-)
The Experia looks awesome!
Thanks for the great history lesson Mr. Leno, great information on electric bikes🙏🏽
I live a couple of blocks from that road and ride it often, glad seeing Jay still got it for 2 wheels 😎 👍🏼
Great video, thank you! I enjoy the engineering behind these motorcycles. I still own a 4th gen VFR (1996) that I love for longer rides and the maintenance involved in an older motorcycle. That said, I'm on my second Energica and really enjoy commuting to work and back on it. It's great as a complimentary bike, not sure the infrastructure is there for me to live entirely electric, but it is an amazing ride!
How is the range?
VFRs are great bikes! Looks like these are as well, different, still great.
ColdSoda1, I’m 68 and I’ve owned and ridden (continuously) motorcycles since I was 14. I have had a 6th gen VFR, red white and blue edition, for 13 years. In my experienced opinion it’s the best all around bike ever made. Just my opinion. ✌🏼
@@HateClickBait I also had an 07 Anniversary VFR 800. Still one of my all time favorites! I've had many styles and makes/models over the years... only have room for the 96 VFR and the Ribelle RS currently, and the duo do well to contrast each other. I'm with you Aaron, probably always going to have a VFR in the garage!
Missing my red 91 vfr 750. Amazing bike and I've owned a few.
They sound like the Cop bikes in the movie THX-1138 and a bit like Tie Fighters.
Energica is the best electric motorcycle you can buy today.
WHAT IS THE POINT ...motorcycles are in this country a frivolous hobby for the majority...in other countries they are used mainly for transportation ..Most bikes get 40-60 mpg ...even my Ducati 999 w/ an FBF race spec engine in it got 40+ mpg..4+ gallon tank..what is the range of an electric motorcycle.???
I test rode an EV cycle a couple years ago. High performance sport bike. It was fantastic!
Lifetime rider, but I could change easily if I'm in the market for a new cycle. (I always buy used)
Imagine never changing oil, coolant, and chucking the whole fuel/timing system?
Been living that life for 100,000 miles now. Haven't taken a wrench to a motorcycle for routine maintenance once.
the minimal maintenance is outstanding! I love my electric motorcycles!
Very classy of Jay to let Stefano do most of the talking. These bikes are intriguing, and honestly are not appreciably more $$ than other Italian bikes in this market space.
Jay is the best ,, no nonsense straight to the point ,, tired of youtube channels where you sit for 30 min. before they get to the point , telling you all their problems before the journey even begins ,,,, RUclips preachers begging for donations get a real Job,, when I post a video my knowledge is free .. they way its supposed to be ,, helping others with no motive ,, I live 40 miles from walmart ..100 miles from the city ,, everything is Highway driving 70+ mph ,, heavy use on a battery just could not trust electric ,, , summertime 100 F battery would not last on any EV constant 70 plus MPH hha ggga Electric has a long way to go for Rural applications like Charge while you drive on highway's
I have a gas motorcycle that I ride in the mountains and I love it, but I ordered an electric motorcycle with a top speed of 50mph and a 100 mile range for around town. And it looks like a 60's era chopper...it should be here next week!
The energica experia is the new bike that is really made for mountain riding .. a little lower speed gives you really good range like 200miles ! .. but 26k .. buy it as a write off for tour business and it cosf half
@@gmy33 Thank you!

@@gmy33 Thanks so much, and all the best success for your company!

Fascinating. Those bikes look really great. Powering into the future.
"Anything over 212 mph and you're just going to jail." 200 mph is the cutoff, huh?! LOL
kms
I want Jay's bike. Right now!!! Thanks for the video.
Would be great when you had the new Experia there too.
I love my 2018 EVA107. Always ready to go.
Not like my ICE that had flat battery or fouled injection...
PS, they're not just commuter bikes. Check the EV bike coast to coast rally's.
oh by the way that motorcycle is state of the art, can t wait to get my hands on one
I'm not a motorcycle guy - This makes me want one...
do it bro, theres nothing more visceral than a sport bike and itll change the way you look at driving on the road; hopefully increasing your respect for the environment. Just be aware of your mortality.
Once you go electric, there's no going back!😂
Get a loan for one because you'll be dead in no time.
@@Okurka. sounds like someone is trying to project their fears onto others lol learn to live buddy. You'd be a nicer person
@@Okurka. you can either die safe or live life to the fullest. If I get launched into oblivion, I'll die 1000% happier than I was before.
7:45 Sorry. I love you Lawrence, but if you recall, I won the cannonball from Anaheim to Reno on a Ribelle. And the following day, when riding along side an Ego, both leaving with the same SOC, my Ribelle had greater efficiency (more remaining range) compared to the Ego next to me on our way to Lake Tahoe.
Rewind a year earlier, I and the other Ribelle rider arrived to the last charge station just shy of the California/Nevada state line before the Ego arrived, and with a higher SOC. If anything, we’ve witnessed Ribelles having the advantage on long road trips. Worth noting I had my panniers attached for that ride as well.
Given your expertise, however, perhaps the differentiating factor in these Cannonballs were the riders themselves (weight, height, riding position, etc) and not the bikes, but I’d wager the Ribelle, despite it not having a full fairing, is right there with the Ego in terms of efficiency on the road. Now if we’re putting motoGP class riders on the circuit, then the fully faired advantage surely goes to the Ego.
Whomever designed the fairing and rider ergonomics on the Ribelle deserves recognition as it is a very capable and very comfortable bike to ride. And I’m so proud, thanks to you and Stefano to own one. 🇮🇹 ⚡️
Jay, I love all your RUclips videos, I hope you keep doing what you do! I can not afford to pay for any subscription fee's for anything in my life, (BUT) getting to watch your (Jay's Leno's Garage) on RUclips for free, I freaking love it!!
Those motor bike's are really cool, I rode motor cycles thru 60% or maybe more of my life, (NOW) I want a EV bike after watching this,
Thankx
*motorbikes* (not «motor bike’s», «bike’s» means something else, not plural of «bike»). Same with *motorcycle* / motorcycles 🤗
I learnt to ride a bike on a Honda Dylan - so only have automatic licence. At the time there was only Honda with push-button gear-change, but the bike cost as much as a car to run. I'm waiting for the feet-forward electric 'Akira' type motorbike, with a canopy. As an electric car owner, I like the wooshing Star Wars sound-track, really impressed with these machines!
In japan there are motoscooters like this ...and why not buy an aptera ? .
While I love electric motorcycles, I love the feel of the non-counter-balanced V-twin on my Harley (hint: that means it’s a touring bike, not a soft tail). That physical rumble (both sound and feel) was one of the only ways I could get my daughter to stop screaming when she was a baby (I’d just park her in the back seat and start the engine, and she’d be out in 5 minutes or less - and the crying would stop almost instantly).
Great video!
I like shifting gears on a motorcycle, and the sound the engine makes - when shifting gears also.
I did too. Now i find it super annoying
they do it for new/younger riders - i got kawasaki er6n in 2015 I made 1500-2000km and sold it in 2017 - i ride only in summer and shorter distances - but I hate noise/vibrations/heat - in in may 2022 i bought demo energica from showroom bcoz they get me very good price on it - 5 months later i made 8000km and start to love longer trips - my record is 870km now but it was just long joyride - i think I can do 1000-1200km easy in EU
After 25 years ice i will never buy ice again .. been riding electric for 7 years now
That was great, Jay! Thanks!

The world is going from drilling oil, to digging up rare earth minerals
No free lunch.
In a reverse scenario, I was recently cruising down a street on my road bike, pedal bike, at a decent 30km/h and was passed by a guy on an electric scooter, like a stand up kiddie push scooter with a motor...scale that up to a motorcycle size and for sure these things are fast.
Absolutely brilliant Italian masterpiece
jay leno and sandy munro are the only two most important people in transportation i will listen to
Everyone in my neighborhood heard me watching this excellent loudspeaker episode!👍🏻
Really cool episode, Jay! It will be interesting to see if/when hydrogen-engine bikes come forward and then compare how THEY ride compared to these electrics. Interesting that the sound actually makes much more sense, to me anyway, on/for a motorcycle rather than a 4-wheeler. Sexy bikes, too. Thanks, again!
I'd appreciate an exploration of the inner workings, such as battery type/placement, motor details, etc. A "look under the hood" if you will.
Jay's living the dream
This was awesome!
Thanks Jay!
Glad Jay is proud of Italian heritage
Thank you so much for featuring Energica! I've owned my Eva Ribelle RS for a year now and I absolutely love it. Definitely turn more heads than I did on my Yamaha.
Omg jay says “I think” too funny
Great introduction to the brand. I'd love to ride one. Stefano's voice, on the bike, matches a star wars space tunnel... Intentional I think?
I've never heard an Italian trying to be so diplomatic :D
Beautiful lighting on the motorcycles!
Some of my comments on Energica Bikes and what makes them so special for those that are interested, read below! Thanks!
What's better about Energica compared to other e-bikes? Well, for starters... a lot. First of all, development was "driven," by an enhanced & accelerated pace due to Energica's participation in competitive racing at the highest levels. The Energica eGo was the ONLY electric bike used in a new professional e-bike racing circuit. The eGo maintained full exclusivity for the first 4 years so the platform could be developed in tandem with the new racing circuit as part of a contract that just recently came to a scheduled end as the circuit looks to go company-agonistic now that the foundation has been laid.
The e-Go will continue to be used heavily in the racing circuit but will not be the ONLY bike allowed in the circuit anymore as they look to expand the circuit and races. Energica bikes were originally developed & then enhanced extensively based on the input of the racing teams & pros throughout the four years of intense racing competition.
Watch the videos, nearly every race came down to the wire throughout those 4 years! Absolutely amazing, exciting races ... I can only imagine the fun those drivers were having!
All the bikes were driven by the top racing names & team pros in the game throughout the entirety of the series. Part of the competition between racing teams includes making many performance based updates, changes and tweaks to the bikes in the spirit of competition and as they were being developed, tested and raced in the circuit. In the process, Energica was able to squeeze out just about every bit of improvement possible due to the intense nature of racing competition and in the process, they've managed to set the stage for future improvements as well as to set a high bar for the quality engineering and performance of the bikes in the future.
They are also made using the best materials available & top-of-the-line competition or road-converted parts in all the important areas, keeping pace with the high bar for performance & quality set for the eGo during competition. They also have proprietary materials that make up the outer panels for the bikes- the original parent company to Energica (not Ideanomics,) owns the IP for making these materials & manufactures high quality, inexpensive to manufacture, sustainable materials used on the bikes beautiful, light- but very sleek & sturdy outer panels. These materials are also used for many other indications & in many other performance products aside from just Energica bikes.
Energica also develops in-house the majority of its technology from the ground up which includes powertrains, sophisticated software for controlling the bikes & related electronics... among other developments. One feature or part which is not entirely unique to Energica are the Brembo brakes the Energica bikes sport. Brembo brakes are largely considered the best brakes the world has to offer. Energica motorcycles have the largest (by capacity, runtime) electric batteries available in an electric bike today, in turn giving them best-in-class range, durability, charging speed and performance. Unlike some other electric bikes, real-deal heavy duty chains do the hard work at the wheels. Some other e-bike companies use rubber which can snap at any time, potentially leaving the driver stranded.
They're also constantly improving the drivetrain, batteries, software and the overall performance & quality of the motorcycles. This is evident in the great strides they've made in just a year or two with the new electric drivetrain delivering more range (~10%) and torque (5%-10%) at a lower weight and a lower center of gravity via its improved heat efficacy which also leads to a much improved maintenance interval in comparison to the previous drivetrain which was already leagues ahead of ICE bikes in terms of maintenance intervals but is now even further ahead having doubled the expected/tested maintenance intervals due to the much better handling of heat efficacy. The lower center of gravity provided by the new batteries & the new, lighter, more efficient drivetrain also allow for greatly improved maneuverability and less wind resistance.
I could certainly go on but do your own research if you want to know more! The info is out there! Thanks for reading!
It's the going off like a phosphorous grenade while charging that dissuades me. And living 40 miles beyond its range to visit my favorite roads and still return home also don't help.
The level of Respect from Stefano to us viewers about accent is something else❤️
@@ShipReK66 true .. but he shows humble ness paired with intelligence .. and his companies makes the best ebikes in the world now ... also look into energica experia.. thats gonna revelutionise europe e traveling
Shoutout Detroit, they do have some of the best and most diverse food options in the country.
Great segment
A cool feature idea once evs have a large presence on roads and even new ice powered vehicles could be a sensor for bike riders safety. The sensors can be made to pick up a specific signal given by bikes that let the car and driver know there's a rider nearby just to instill extra caution around those vehicles now vulnerable on the road.
Thanks Jay really interesting
Aww … now I have to sell one of my other bikes. I’m only allowed so many and I’m loving this one.
Or buy their adventure tourer !!
Sell the wife instead.
Not mentioned most of the time. Although charging stations are few in the northeast, winterizing my electric bike is so easy.
The red one is beautiful
😎👍😎 Thanks Jay
Lovely quick and quiet. What could go wrong?
Not quite there yet, but oh so close! In 5 years this tech should be all round superior, affordable, and mainstream.
Mr. Leno, thanks for showing us these great Energica motorcycles.
I am glad to see the ugly press Energica is getting is simply not true.
Mr. Benatti and Mr. Kuykendall are excellent representers of the brand.
I was surprised and really pleased to see an old gas machine guy like you take to the standard Energica so well.
Thanks for the honest review of the bike and the brand.
Keep up the great work , Energica.
Jay due you have old classic Indians I love the way they look. They are a piece of art
The problem is not the range, but the fact that the range decreases each year.
Range degradation is largely based on charging behavior. As long as the battery isn't always kept at 100% or 0%, then it should be fine over the years. The LiveWire has a 20% degradation over 1200 cycles - so if I charged everyday for 3.5 years, then I would see the battery degrade to 80%. However that is A LOT of riding and charging. I've had my Livewire for just over a year with 18k miles, and I've not seen any degradation.
Amazing.
I've been in love with the Eva Ribelle for years

8 cents to charge up? 🤑🤑🤑 I’d have to see some proof on that!
Its free most of the time tbh lol. I rode from san diego to canada. Spent $46
You make a compromise buying an electric vehicle. The fact that this bike is $30k+ is absolute insanity
Just amazing !
People might complain about you doing electrics but DO NOT STOP. As you say, they are the future and an alternative too long ignored!
all the best buddy🎉🎉 congratulations🎉 let's talk on telegram you've been randomly selected among today's (GIVEAWAY)🎊,❤
Stark Varg is releasing their Electric MX bikes next year and they look awesome. I am glad someone is stepping up since Alta went defunct. The next step I suppose is that a single company produces both, Dirt and Street. It will likely be one of the big four, or a European Bike manufacturer.
Marzocchi suspension! VERY NICE!
Jay's becoming a fan of the D!!!!
It's nice but they offer an Öhlins upgrade and it's way better
It’s really cool to see Morrisey building bikes
Mr. Leno, would have loved to see you spending some time with the motor and the battery pack. Thank you for the lovely film. In India, we are just getting introduced to E-bikes and scooters.
A motorcycle company doesn’t want to talk about motors and batteries. (Add the ecu to the list)
Batteries and motors are “off the shelf” because of their high R&D cost.
Very enjoyable commentary.
Can someone please tell me who the manufacturer/brand of that microphone & audio is, that their using in this video, so much clarity to it, its kindof impressive!
Maybe start another channel where you talk about your old car collection.
Wonder when a company will offer a conversion kit for older bikes. I wouldn't mind converting my old Sportster to electric as long as it had some range. 120+ miles.
Not sure how that would work. An EV is basically a battery, a ac/dc converter, and very fancy software running the box with the throttle. Brakes are easy.
My point being, batteries need to be very low for a retrofit to feel like the engine and gas tank it replaced. Not much room down there I 2022!
Manual selectable regeneration is such a great feature for any electric vehicle. I argue with my car all the time. It never regens when I want it to.
still harley/live wire do it better - in energica you have 3 levels and OFF, in live wire you have 0-100 % in 1 steps for regen/throttle etc
I'm not a "touring bike" guy but in 2021 I was looking at BMW K1200's because they have a reverse gear. I want to put such an engine in my 1964 Spitfire. Well, they are Cheap. I bought one with 38K miles, very clean, for $2500! They are Electric Smooth. Like a Citroen from the 1960's. They are a great deal.
