I really enjoy your channel. As someone from the U.S. I had looked into electric bikes a bit, but after all the hassles and what I've seen yourself and others go through with zero and the way zero treats it's customers. Not to mention their more recent pay to unlock featuring upgrades that are already on the bike. I had written off any interest in electric motorcycles until I found your channel. I had never heard of energica before. But I'm glad I did. I love the energica content, and if I ever go electric for a motorcycle, I'll definitely be choosing energica. Thank you for what you do, and can't wait to see more content.

Hey:) I disagree that the motor should be in the rear wheel. You can see hub motors on any scooters, because of the upsides you mentioned: simple and no chain. But it has a reason you shouldn't put a more powerful motor in the wheel: it weights a lot and it's unsprung mass. That's really harsh on the motor, gives bad suspension feel and most importantly make you'll have really bad gyroscopic effect. Let's keep chains and belts!:)

Only issue is heat....it needs liquid cooling if you go fast for extended periods. The only moving parts are the wheel bearings....nothing to service nothing wears out.

I thought that with the slow speeds and regen that the Experia could do the whole day on a single charge. I wasn’t looking for hotels with charging but about a quarter of the ones I stayed at had Level 2 charging stations. The remainder had a wall plug so that you could slow charge overnight. On the transit stages on the autobahn I thought that most rest areas had Level 3 charging so you could easily charge up while you had a cappuccino and a croissant. A quick look at PlugShare showed that there were lots of opportunities to charge everywhere I went.

I guess those were solar panels all along the roof, very nice use of plenty of Italian sun. I was familiar with some of the history and the fact they were a branch of a racing parts parent company. Here's the big question. How many other projects did they have in line, close to full development, prior to the Ideanomics take over? I mean obviously the Experia was in the works already. No details of course but but any ballpark number?

I remember an interview with Livia where she talked about building an electric car, but that it was too early so they didn't pursue that. Then the electric motorcycles raced at Isle of Man and they went that route instead. Things could have been way different! The Ideanomics deal sounds like it'll get Energica components in the hands of lots of other companies, so we'll see lots more EV conversions, electric boats, etc!

I really want that engine in a supermoto style bike, lighter, 200km range would be fine. I'm not sure though, doesn't seem like Italian bike maker favor the SM much, more so racing and touring.

Oh man, so many reasons 😂 More performance, DC fast charging, better build quality, a company that cares about its riders.. and Energicas feel like motorcycles. Zeros are fun but they feel like toys in conparison, with cheap components that don't like getting wet. I'll never go back.

Now if only Energica would make a bike with 11 kW of nominal power like Zero does... You see, here in Europe I can drive a motorcycle with my car driver's license as long as nominal power is 11 kW or less. Zero has got a specific version of the S, with 11 kW of nominal power but 44 kW of peak power that a n00b like me is allowed to drive. So I could get a Zero S, drive it on my car license (don't have a motor license) and still enjoy the full performance of the bike. Energica, are you listening?

@@NewZeroland At my location (Czechia, central Europe) its 1.5 € per liter while electricity cost 0.5€ per kWh. I ride my Suzuki Katana on average between 110-190 km/h. At these speeds, it jugs 6l/100km. At 90km/h its around 4-5 liter/100km As in video v=Vd8AmSchhXI they say that energica at "car speeds" (around 70-90km/h as seen in video) it consumes 8kWh/100km So cost for 100km is 0.5*8= 4 €/100km in electricity or 1.5*6=9€/100km in gas for my Katana Usually bikes are sold at 60 000km distance ridden, so over that time I will spend 5400€ in fuel or 2400€ in electricity. BUT: Suzuki Katana costs 11 000€ while Energica Ribelle cost 22 100€. It is worth to have ICE motorcycle. I run some calculation in excel at you have to ride 222 000km to break even. Show me somebody who has ridden 200 000km on "naked or sport" bike... If I have to chose extra, if I want to be stranded for 40+minutes at charger or 2 minutes at gas station, its ICE motorcycle all the way... No way how anybody sane would chose electric bike. Electricity is for e-scooters.

@@TheSkace haha you can't compare a Suzuki Katana to a Ribelle. They aren't even in the same league. It makes more sense to compare a Ducati Streetfighter or MV Agusta Brutale. These are highend Italian bikes and they aren't much more expensive than those. Also, charging at home is cheaper and some stations are free. Charging overnight at motels is also free. Electric isn't all about the money though. They need less maintenance, they're more reliable, and they don't emit toxic smoke while you're riding them. Continuing to buy gas is a choice, and I don't want to do that anymore.
