As italian born in Modena I'm proud to see you like it♥️

Such an excellent video, brother. The cinematics, the dialogue, the real world knowledge. You are amazing and you deserve great things. Thank you for sharing such an amazing piece with the world!

I get really excited when I hear about eBikes. The weight is still an issue for those who like mixed routes, but I am quite confident that in a couple of years Energica will manage to improve in that aspect. :)

Best and most realistic review video I've seen. When you showed me their customer service you really touched on a subject that is very important to me and you probably just sold a bike.

Absolutely perfect synopsis of Energica Ownership! They truly care about their family of customers.

My dude your series on E-Bikes is the best I've seen for the Energica. The information you've provided was not only entertaining but enough for me to decide I need it before I've even seen one in person! Thanks so much for all your efforts bud!

O M G. Smiley Jenn comes in SWINGING! :)

He, new Energica commercial ;) but your right great bike and family members

Thank you so much for your review. I have been consistently searching online for reviews on electric motorcycles and yours literally blew me away. The honesty and the sincerity of the information you give is easily recognized. Again thank you so much.

one of the things I love so much about your videos is they aren't the typical electric moto review where all they talk about is how there's no clutch, no gears to shift and so on. I'm not looking for reviews on how its so foreign compared to a gas bike. I've been riding maxi scooters for the past few years because I just love twist and go and currently have a Piaggio BV350 which has pretty strong engine breaking, so when you talked about being able to adjust that to preference that really stood out to me. Because my riding style is similar, to where I use engine breaking the majority of my time riding. I'm waiting for the ev market to catch up to the maxi scooter market. I just love step throughs. BMW has one but it hasn't been updated in like 5 years and the ergonomics feel like I'm sitting on top of brick wall :/ Awesome review Sam love your content!

Great video as always! Thanks! Nice to see that you don't have problems from those fast charging.

wow, thank you, that was a great walk through of this bike. I'm sold!

Thank you for all these lovely videos

Cheers Sam...another food for thought vid ...I recently put a mechanical cruise control device on my speedy......wish I'd done it years ago.....really good to give ya right hand/wrist a break and not slow down.....

Very informative and easy video. No gimmicks, no pretense. It was helpful particularly when I am considering switching to an electric motorcycle. Zero does come to my mind a lot since we live in central California, but I do see the value of Energica. Thanks again for the video.

Cant wait for an ADV version, weight ergonomics wont matter as much.and silent travel in the wilderness is the dream

Sam, you nearly forgot about the carbon fibre....😄

Great video! Looking to buy an Energica and this video helped me move towards that purchase. Thanks!

The year sure flew past quickly. It's been a great journey following you along the way 👍

Really solid video mate. I bought my zero because of you. I still love it and can't see myself buying a new bike for awhile, but this video was gold.

Incredible review, not a second wasted.

Glad to hear your still loving the ride.

A satisfied customer is the best advertisement any company could have! When's the next instalment of Jen's bike hunting? Or is mention of the newer Energica part of the solution? Waiting for the next exciting episode....

The casualness of the narration belies how professional this video is.

Watched your video AND RIGHT NOW I AM BOOKING ONE......... Half the credit : Bike Half : A well scripted, edited and presented video ! YOU THE BEST ! CHEERS !

Impenetrable to rockets! 🚀

Many thanks for all the information! 🙂

I love that you addressed the elephant of weight right out of the gate, and how it will impact throwing it side to side at slower speeds. Great video! I'm lusting after the 2022 Tricolore!

Such a beautiful machine. I feel like I've said this before about your Ego videos but you are reminding me again that I might just have to "gift" the SR to the Mrs. so I can score an Eva Ribelle.

I agree with pinaero.. such an exellent vide Sam.. 🏍🎦🆒

I loved your analogy about moving to Japan. 😁

Thanks for another great vid, Sam! Makes me want an Energica. :-) I'm super jealous of your fast chargers in NZ! Meanwhile, I'm still grooving on my SR/F and the weather warming up here! Oh, how I wish 'Merika would discover the wonders of fast charging...

I purchased the Ribelle RS around 2 months ago after always saying I would never have an electric bike. Absolutely agree with your words. Great bike to ride and a lot of fun. Haven't quite worked through the battery anxiety yet! 😀

Another great video! Thanks for your honest review. I rented an SR/F for 2 days (it was a blast!) and am hoping to ride an Ego before making the choice on my next bike (although I know the weight of the Ego will bum me out). But I really like the fact that Energica is so much better at customer support - so that's something to consider too. Looking forward to more updates. (p.s. Anamorphic on the B-roll - nice touch!)

Great review, authentic

From Chicago Thank you!

Thanks for the video!

Congratulations for the beauty

Great video, it's like a personal commercial

Happy motoversery! May you have many more! Now I'm wondering what it'd be like if you could mod a dualshock controller analog stick in as a thumb throttle. Probably have to replace it every 50 miles. (80.4 km)

Amazing community. I can't wait to join once I get enough saved! Family first for now ^^ and the Y is definitely filling the void for now. Great video brother!!!

Thank you so much for this video, Brother. Really well done. I'm watching because I have invested in IDEX who just increased ownership in Energica from 20% to 70%, and I've been riding my whole life. I really think I've made a great investment and now I really am considering an Energica. Funny how the best sales videos come from people who really know and love the product in a somewhat unbiased way.

Thanks for the sum up. One thing I am curious about is foot peg position as it compares to other bikes. I test rode an EVA 107 in Portland and while it felt comfortable I'm used to "standard" or touring bikes. I'm looking at the EsseEsse 9 but am curious if my 6'6" height will regret longer trips.

Awesome! Very, very informative 👌👍

Great video. I am a Zero owner and I am going to have a test ride next week on a Ribelle. I still don’t know what I am going to do, but your channel is really interesting for me. 👍

Very nice review guy, thanks

I can SO APPRECIATE an owner's perspective on this bike. I often compare demo or two week rides versus ownership to dating. Great to go out once or twice a week, after 'an appropriate amount of time 'being able to 'hook up.' But dating is WAY DIFFERENT than getting married or moving in together! All of the warts come out then so a true picture of how I view a product comes from an owner. Thank you for taking the time to chronicle your experience with the Ego. I'm sure many others appreciate the time and candor you put into your work.

Cheers for the continued cool content.

Great video, dude!

Great video :) Looks like a fun bike

This video makes me even more anxious to get my ribelle. Other than the extra money, the new 21.5 bikes solve some of your concerns. Range, weight etc. But both types are great looking machines. My bike was originally supposed to be here at the end of April. Now it's the end of May. The last I heard, it was going to dock in SF on Monday, May 10th. And should be processed and delivered by the beginning of June. I'M SO EXCITED!

Excellent video. I’ve watched quite a few of your videos, and I’m sold on getting an Energica as my next bike. The range is acceptable with the newer higher capacity battery pack. I think I could make the 430 miles back home to Scotland in a day - the longest haul I ever do in a day. My only concern (as an old geezer) is the weight, and reversing it out onto the road from my back yard. I’ll have to try one and see how the weight feels next to my Tiger 800.

What I understand from this video is that we will be seeing the new Energica on this channel any day now.

great video., i owned it and it felt too heavy on the front. i didnt get used to it, so i bought the zeor srf and a yaer later the srs. still happy with it but miss the fast charging. the noise on the energica suxs

Congratulations on the video friend. I hope to have mine someday.

Another solid vid. I’ve now had my Zero SRS for 6 months and keep having issues trying to charge... it’s a variable issue though. My biggest problem is poor customer service. I’ll give it another 6 months, crossing fingers my charging situation improves, and will reevaluate. Perhaps an Energica is in the future.

Great review! Very helpful information for someone like me who’s new to electric bikes and wants real world experiences. Maybe I will go with the Energica Ego after all. 👌🏻

Hey Sam, just noticed in your video a dealer logo ‘Energica of New England’ on the handlebars. Did you really get the bike from them? How were they to deal with? I live in Vermont and they are my closest dealer (3hrs+). Considering an EsseEsse9+RS. Thanks for all the info.

One year already!? Heck yeah!!!

Sixth! Congratulations on 1 year Sam!

Great video with great points. Still love my SR and can't wait to ride once it finally warms up here. Pretty sure I'm going to keep the SR and Volt as long as possible and my next EV will be a Model X. Energicas are definitely for more serious riders than myself. Think they're cool, but the Zero is more my style.

Awesome

I also have seen Damon Hypersport HS and it goes supposedly double the range of the Energica but not sure about it Energica looks so stylish too

DANG!! I’ve told you in other videos you had a huge influence in me buying my first electric. I got the 2015 zero sr used but it works great. I feel the costumer service part and the ability to work on it myself. I don’t have that with zero and I bought this bike to find out what it’s all about. Now I’m gonna look at these bikes!!

Thats a good looking bike❤

Energica is it!

Oh, man. As a fellow energica owner. I agree with EVERY POINT you made. Great job once again, my friend. NAIL IT!!!! I can’t stress enough how accurate you are and how fantastic Energica’s customer service is. I never even heard of a company this invested in making their customers happy. Stefano, Chris, and the community are so good that you feel like you’re family. I am just a regular Joe, but every time I deal with Energica, I feel like a billionaire. They treat you so well no matter who you are, and I can’t think of any company that can get anywhere near Energica when it comes to customer support and quality today. Thank you for this video! You & Energica deserves EVERY like, love, and awesome comments you’re getting.

Super Great Video

I've been feeling kind of down lately about making more videos about my ego, but this just reminded me why I love it so much and why I want everyone to hear about it so they can feel the same excitement I do. Brilliant work and you made my day 😀 I think I might do my next video I was thinking about now that asks the question "is an energica the perfect beginner bike?" Spoiler: Short answer: no Long answer: depends on the person, heh 😉

Nice review 👍. Covered a lot of stuff that would never occur to a gas biker. Considering that my Honda VTR1000 only gets 135 miles to a bone dry tank, the Energica seems darn good. And no inconvenient gas stops cause u always start w a full tank ! My question:. My RadRover e-bicyle (range about 30 miles) loses power proportionate to battery level. Its really annoying how weak the last 25% of battery output is compared to the first 25%. Is the Energica plagued with this characteristic? U know, performance/fun dropping off in a manner that is almost directly proportionate with the "miles left" in the battery.

6:15 Shots fired!! 😁

Interesting that you brought up Right To Repair with Zero. So far all the official Zero parts I have gotten from AF1Racing: parking brake, belt, etc. I'll see if I can get a Charge Tank in the future, still not sure if I want to spend that kinda $$$ for it. As of now, as a commuter bike I don't need the charge tank but plan on doing road trips with it maybe...then I'll want to get it for sure.

Ohariu Valley to Karori and around the bays is my every weekend ride 🏍🏍🏍👌👌👌

Regeneration is the best for stopping 👍

Finally got my 2021 Energica Eva Ribelle RS, the first one of those they sold!! It’s an absolute torque MONSTER, and insanely fun to ride. I am still breaking in that 21.5 kW battery, and Laurence and Steffano explained to me I need to build “battery elasticity“ to get maximum range, but I don’t mind sacrificing a little bit of range (i live in Scottsdale) to really whack that throttle because there is simply nothing else like it on the road. Fastest, most responsive thing I have ever been in or on. Supposed to get from 0 to 60 mph in about 2.6 seconds, but I have to tell you, it feels much faster than that, it’s almost too much G force for my stomach to handle. LOVE IT

Good info.

Sick vid

Today i hit the 40'000 km mark. After 23 month of ownership. It is hard to describe "how it's to be a freakin MotoE bike owner" But i could not say it better.. Really an excelent vid 👍

Very cool video. I had a zero ans I hated it. I am trying my motorcycle number 31 and with all those years of experience I am looking for an electric bike as the gas price keep rising in Canada. So I got an used zero and it is boring and full of problems. Now I am looking for the energica and your video gave me more ideas what it is. Thank you

Can you replace the red fairings with black ones

Any chance of the rear wheel locking up with high regen?

bravo 👏👏👏👏 ragazo.

Sweet Bike. Looks Dope as Hell! How much cc does this Bike has? Sadly in Switzerland its really hard to find Charging Stations...

Liked as soon as I opened the video ;)

I was thinking about doing a 1 year review with my bike, but I don't think I can beat this lol.

Hey mate, How did you buy it? I’m based in Welly too. Keen to know the process.

Energergica will probably be my first e bike

I caught that "blood sacrifice" so fast lmao. Have you head of Damon Motorcycles btw? They are new to the scene and I'm debating whether or not I should reserve one of their bikes when it releases, or one of these.

What’s the estimate service cost per year on ev? (Trying to calculate the cost of owning one and commute)

Looking to get my first electric motorcycle and I have been heavily considering the zero sr/s but for every point you made about the ego, that's why I am also probably going to end up purchasing one as well haha. So happy to hear about the positive vibes in the community :)

damn, I might make the jump to Energica. My poor 2015 DS is starting to get long in the tooth. It starts to throttle the speed when I get down into 60% of a charge nowadays even when riding on Eco mode.

great video, exciting bike. there are no Energica dealers in Australia which is massively disappointing but seeing this I'm very hopeful for the future of electric bikes. how did you get one in NZ? not sure how the importing process works. I ride a Ducati and it saddens me they haven't made a move forward on this issue yet.

Do you know if there are conversion kits available from chaindrive to beltdrive for that motorcycle? cool video btw!

How long does it charge at home from a wall outlet?

Usually I find something to whinge about.......but you did good. The repair part is so important, I wonder if they have an OBD2 port or similar AND let you use it (unlike Tesla for example). And yes, going electric is a new, nice lifestyle. Amazing !!!

how much was it in NZ$ ? probably better to get a naked or the larger capacity battery

Great video ! I am 67. Riding for 50 years. We have no electric bikes in our country. Too, motorcycles are pretty expensive here. I shudder to think about, what will be the cost if we get them later. Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.

Cool bike and I’m glad that you get to charge at home; that said one thing that bugs me about ALL evs is this emphasis on home charging. Idk a thing about life in New Zealand but in the USA outside of a few places that are brand new construction, apartments don’t have chargers, rental houses aren’t really going to allow you to install a charger unless the landlord wants to go green and to get a charger installed from what I understand is between 3-10k depending on many factors. I guess my point is, it annoys me that ev compañía place this emphasis on home charging when the reality is few people have the ability or access to it. That said, 1. It has to start somewhere I get that and 2. If I had to go buy an ev right now today, an enérgica would be it hands down.

And then its the sound when i probably would miss the POP POP BOM BOM RRRRR sound without my Leo Wince exhaust system.

Does it goes Well uphill?
