After riding the LiveWire One and LiveWire S2 Del Mar, I felt like I had already made my mind up about electric motorcycles. However, I was pleasantly surprised by what Energica had to offer.
The Energica EGO+ RS is, without a doubt, a motorcycle first and an electric vehicle second.

I love it but worried about the weight

@BulaMeister Ай бұрын

I do want to see what it's like again. Need to find another demo day, or I could rent one!

May i ask how weight feels pushing off side stand etc?

@BulaMeister 2 күн бұрын

It's great that all the weight is down low, so it did not feel like a burden trying to keep it up. I'm flat-footed here so that helps!

Cool vid man, if I had the money I'd sell my Super Duke R and buy one. Maybe less grunting when you hit the bumps, you know, suck it up a little😎

I was excited about it until you described the leaned forward position. I hate that.

@BulaMeister Ай бұрын

Well, you will be happy to know there is a more "standard" version of this with handlebars rather than clip-ons!

Which one do you like better? The Energica or the Livewire?

@BulaMeister 9 ай бұрын

To be utterly blunt with you, both of the Livewires felt like toys. I can't say anything about Zero just yet but I fully expected the toy experience with Energica. This was not the case. It was a motorcycle-first, then-EV approach to the idea rather than trying to cut it down the middle by creating an "effective" electric motorcycle for the road. Going to drop the second video from this event soon which focuses on the Eva Ribelle RS. It is basically the naked version of the EGO. Spoiler alert: both motorcycles were better than the Livewire One and the S2 Del Mar. I think Energica's price points across its offerings matches what it offers, esp with its level 2 charging capabilities and decent range if you're able to keep your hooning to a minimum 😅

Too heavy. No top end. It's very sluggish after 80 mph. Needs at least another gear. Charging options aren't there yet. Premium materials and suspension tho. Can't ride with your buddies with liter bikes. You will hold everyone up. Can't just get on the bike and go. Need a strict route for charging.

You may have a point. Have you ridden the EGO+ RS against liter bike friends?

@@normand30 darn... well I'll stick with my F4i in the meantime. Wouldn't mind having an electric motorcycle for riding around the city or for a work commute idk. Perhaps electric motorcycles will be better in the future!

@@normand30How fast was it in comparison to the liter bikes under 80mph?

@normand30 6 ай бұрын

@filthyscorpion Quicker under 80mph. Just needs one more gear to keep up with liter bikes.
