Great write up Gary, very interesting. Looks great and sounds like quite an experience to ride. Technology clearly getting there, performance already more than I’d need and range/charging getting ever closer.. but prices will need to drop a fair bit yet before they’d get to the point where I could contemplate getting an electric bike. And I’d rather someone else did the expensive early adopters beta testing to iron out niggles etc…
It’s good to see they keep it traditionally Italian with useless mirrors… I think Italians take their approach to mirrors from that old road race movie (Cannonball run?) where the Italian racing driver character hired to co-drive for a rich American driver/owner gets in for his stint at the wheel, and promptly breaks off the rear view mirror, throws it out of the car and says “what’s behind me doesn’t matter…” before flooring it. That said, given the awesome performance of the energica it sounds like such an approach has some justification on this bike!
