I like how it has a quarter mile quote at the beginning and they do a 10 ft race

Wow, people really take this way too personally, but really It's because of the naysayers the electric engine has to constantly prove itself capable. Progress is a good thing, and macho bs won't change the fact that the electric engine has improved more in ten years than the combustion engine has done in a hundred. In the end the transition to Electric vehicles will probably just come down to pricing rather than measuring dicks with the established frontliners of motosports.

For those that are wondering. As soon as the HP4 hits the powerband, the electric will be smoked, simply because that's how physics work. Horsepower is a measure of work, more horsepower means more work done in the same time frame. The BMW has higher horsepower which means it can make more work in the same amount of time. The electric has instant torque, which means that it will have higher horsepower up to its peak of 150HP at around 4.7k rpm. The stock hp4 breaks even at 10k rpm which means that after that it will just furiously pull away. Assuming that rider knew what he was doing and it was a full on 1/4 mile run, by the time he shifted from 1st to 2nd gear, he should fall above that break even mark and the e-bike would have its ass handed to it.
Why would that happen you might ask? Because it only revs up to 4.7k rpm, that's why. It makes so much fucking torque only to rev so low... it's a waste. Not to mention it's 81kg HEAVIER than a stock trim HP4. This means that it should start catching up before it even reaches 10k rpm. See the problem here? I do support the notion of electric bike, but it needs to be done right. Staging race that are less than 100m long just to prove a point isn't gonna make people like electrics, people aren't as stupid as you'd like them to be.
EDIT: Disregard what i said about break even point... The electric makes 136HP, i thought it made 150, i got confused... this is even worse for it then...

[daniellozano]

Yeah! Let's make a video of a 10 meter-race... yeah, exciting, yes... at least do a quarter mile to prove any point!!

Once they move on from lithium ion batteries, petrol bikes will go the way of the VCR.

Wicked bike. Extra points for the Captain America quote at the end ; )

When they can bring the weight down even more, bring down the price and give it a nicer colour scheme, this thing's gonna sell like hot cakes with peanut and butter, jam and banana all over it =P

Lovely! Would have been good to get a Zero SR and Tesla P100D with Ludicrous mode for best comparison, but still an excellent set of matchups.

[farizalbalagh]

Nice last one comparison.... Electric Car : Tesla Model S P85D vs Electric Motorcycle : Energica Ego

[waynesimmons]

Cool looking bike very quick. Magnifico

[yarbaystrength]

distance is too short, for quarter mile and more s1000rr will be the winner

[chrisg]

Definitely Getting this bike when i have the money

[HughMongousPC]

New quote for their video: "I live my life 10 feet at a time, just trying not to spill my soy milk, and for those couple seconds or less, I feel less like a female"

[st.schafer]

energica sounds like a Dyson vacuum cleaner

[VeeFour]

I love the Ego (and all ev bikes), but I'd have liked to see the full race to the finish lines

[danmurphy]

It makes even more power now, I think it has over 150hp for 2018.
0-60mph should be closer to 2.8 seconds.
When this company or Zero is bought out or when it receives a large investment from a scared petrol powered motorcycle company that hasn't been doing it's battery class homework, they'll hopefully become true liter bike competitors on track too!

[enpeethree]

Here’s an idea: Energica Ego Corsa vs Gen2 Formula E car. That’s a drag race I’d love to see.

[smallz]

I would love to own one of there’s bikes I can only dream 👍🏽

[ahmedAli-okgz]

Lightning LS218 is better competitior for energica ego

[avada]

Race it with the new Tesla Roadster. :)

[Georgedrem]

Why did you use zero s the small one you was afraid to compare the energica with the sr/s?
