Ok, I realised that I forgot to say that this bike has a 0-100 kph time of 3.5 seconds, it's literally 0.1 of a second faster at it than the Africa Twin.

Thanks for visiting us, and putting this out! Glad you got to rip an Energica around the hinterland!

Absolutely my pleasure and so much fun! The video is doing quite well too, so hopefully you'll get some more enquiries.

After my first ride my main impression was how small it felt! Super fast and very well built.

Yeah it did feel really small at first, specially when I put my foot down and my leg was rather bent, on the Africa Twin my leg is almost straight.

As someone who bought an Experia a month ago, I reckon this is a good and detailed review. It mentions all the points that got me to buy one. Although you could have shown it DC rapid charging. What kind of bird did you hear in the trees?

I would've loved to have done that but I had it out for 3 hours and still didn't use even 30% of the battery, I also had no idea what I was doing for that 😂

Oh, not sure what bird, but it tweeted haha..

Great video, thanks, but what would the answer be to your final question ; ) ???

🤔 😉

The real reason they limit this bike to an top speed of 180 kmh is to preserve the charging distance of the battery. That is my understanding, compared to the other Engergica bikes, that can go an lot faster but are not designed for longer distance touring.

Indeed, that was my understanding as well. On top of that, I believe it extends the life expectancy of the motor.

@@GlobalWalkabout Apparently the Energica Eva Ribelle is faster, but just really designed for weekend thrills like any other fast and powerful naked bike.

Interesting! What's it cost new Simon?

The base price is about $47.5k then you add on what you want.

Did you mentioned how much? And 0-100 times?

I did mention the approx price, it was at the end of the video, didn't you watch until the very end? 🤔

Faster than the AT?

@GlobalWalkabout

0-100 is (just) faster, normal acceleration is waaaaay faster, top speed is limited to 180 and the AT can do about 220.

@@GlobalWalkabout So that is what I like, for the moment I ride a 1200GS and it's the torque of that machine at low RPM what I like the most of the engine. If I have the change I'll give it a try. Not that I have intentions to swap because I love the Beemer. But who knows and top speed is something I don't care at all.

Too right, the torque and having no gears to change just makes it shoot off like a rocket, an absolute blast!!

See what you mean about the sound, but man it's got some get up and boogey

Yeah, the sound isn't nice on camera, but it's perfectly OK while riding.. Yup, it seriously shifts!
