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.

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!

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.

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!

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

The sound in the Stephano’s helmet is like Someone’s subconscious. Kinda cool and Eerie at the same time.

Fantastic to finally see these. I’m excited to have more competition in this small market

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.

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.

Jay demonstrates his International National pride. It’s a small world. Very cool bikes! (Wondering about chain stretch due to high torque input) lol

I'm a 3-year Energica owner myself. The bikes are great, and they're an amazing company!

The Times We Live In! This is legit, Back to the Future Stuff. I would own one of these in a second.

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.

Love my Eva Ribelle, absolute blast to ride.

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.

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

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.

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.

Thanks for the great history lesson Mr. Leno, great information on electric bikes🙏🏽

Their new Experia is going to make a huge impact in the industry!

I live a couple of blocks from that road and ride it often, glad seeing Jay still got it for 2 wheels 😎 👍🏼

Thank you for the great show. I love Energica. Your review is fantastic. Thanks again.

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.

They sound like the Cop bikes in the movie THX-1138 and a bit like Tie Fighters.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

The day of EV bikes being part of the mainstream is here, great Job Stefano awsome presentation.

I want Jay's bike. Right now!!! Thanks for the video.

Incredibly beautiful. Incredibly exciting!

Fascinating. Those bikes look really great. Powering into the future.

I like shifting gears on a motorcycle, and the sound the engine makes - when shifting gears also.

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.

I'm not a motorcycle guy - This makes me want one...

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 ,,,, KZfaq 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 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?

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!

Great segment

Great video!

That was great, Jay! Thanks!

Thanks Jay really interesting

Beautiful lighting on the motorcycles!

Energica is the best electric motorcycle you can buy today.

Jay, I love all your KZfaq 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 KZfaq 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

Jay's living the dream

Thanks Jay!

Lovely quick and quiet. What could go wrong?

oh by the way that motorcycle is state of the art, can t wait to get my hands on one

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.

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.

Everyone in my neighborhood heard me watching this excellent loudspeaker episode!👍🏻

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.

Absolutely brilliant Italian masterpiece

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!

This was awesome!

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!

The red one is beautiful

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).

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.

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.

Omg jay says “I think” too funny

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.

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?

😎👍😎 Thanks Jay

Very enjoyable commentary.

I've been in love with the Eva Ribelle for years

Just amazing !

Amazing.

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!

Aww … now I have to sell one of my other bikes. I’m only allowed so many and I’m loving this one.

I've never heard an Italian trying to be so diplomatic :D

"Anything over 212 mph and you're just going to jail." 200 mph is the cutoff, huh?! LOL

Hay Jay can you do an episode about your Shell Tanker Truck!

Jay due you have old classic Indians I love the way they look. They are a piece of art

Shoutout Detroit, they do have some of the best and most diverse food options in the country.

Glad Jay is proud of Italian heritage

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. 🇮🇹 ⚡️

Not mentioned most of the time. Although charging stations are few in the northeast, winterizing my electric bike is so easy.

Maybe start another channel where you talk about your old car collection.

Marzocchi suspension! VERY NICE! Jay's becoming a fan of the D!!!!

The world is going from drilling oil, to digging up rare earth minerals

seeing j close the seat was so funny

jay leno and sandy munro are the only two most important people in transportation i will listen to

The level of Respect from Stefano to us viewers about accent is something else❤️

Their motto: "We may be expensive and heavy, but we have a short range!" Great show as always.

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.

Those are awesome bikes. I’m thinking I might end up getting one

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.

It’s really cool to see Morrisey building bikes

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!

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.

I wanna see it do a wheelie and a stoppie!!

Cool bike! I wish someone would make a Harley street bob style electric

Never into motorcycles, but this I want...

Love that street fighter version….that would be the one I’d get.

At 97% and up charge, regeneration does not charge the cells, but does it reduce the speed?

First introduced to these things through the Ride video games
