Title: Energica Ego prototype review article
Post by: Richard230 on September 20, 2013, 05:46:07 PM
Here is a relatively detailed review of the Energica Ego production electric motorcycle prototype.  I would be surprised if they can actually market the motorcycle at the projected $25,000 considering all of the expensive parts on the bike.  Time will tell, I guess:

Here is a longer and more detailed ride review of the prototype Energica Ego.  This one is by Motorcycle.com:

Here is a link to a 15-minute long riding video about the Energica Ego by Wes Siler.  It shows him making a few comments about the Ego and then riding the bike around the Italian countryside.  He didn't care much for the riding position, but otherwise he liked the bike. During the last one-third of the video you get to see the front wheel move up and down and listen to the motor.  Some people may think it sounds like a Tie fighter, but to me it sounds more like fingernails scratching a blackboard. You get to see a lot more of Wes than any details of the Ego, unfortunately:
