My test ride was a bit spontaneous in some ways. Although I had arranged a club meet at the premises of The English Electric Motor Co. In Redgrave, Suffolk, I hadn’t been together enough to arrange a test ride for myself.
Nathan had correctly assumed I would like a ride on the Energica Eva Ribelle and had two ready and waiting. So I was mentally a little unprepared for the experience and certainly not read up on the Ribelle.
I also stupidly had not brought my camera, so pictures are archive or publicity shots.
Please forgive my frequent comparisons to the Zero as that is the only other electric bike I have ridden, see my impressions here.

This is going to be a from the guts type test report, but you can get all the facts and figures you desire here;

Broadly we are looking at a peak power output of 169hp with 159 ft-lbs of torque. That’s more than double my Monsters bhp and a little more than three times the torque! I’ve not ridden anything even approaching that so this will be a new experience for sure.
All the numbers are bigger or better than the equivalent on the Zero. Range, power and shorter charging time ect.
