Electric motorcycle blogger Ben Rich (of whom one might remember from a series of posts/video reports on his "Three Country Tout" here on InsideeEVs) visited San Francisco to test drive the Energica EVA through the winding roads to Alice's restaurant.
In the end, the $34,544 Italian bike was pretty well received with:
- very strong regen (rare use of brakes in commuting)
- a nice footbrake
- smooth acceleration control, favorite throttle, very responsive and intuitive
- useful display
- DC fast charging capability (CCS Combo)
- 75 kW power (but motor is 150 kW)
- more comfortable position than sporty EGO
