ZERO EMISSION, 0-100 kph in less than 3.0 seconds, 240 kph top speed, 190 Nm from 0 to 4,700 rpm Torque, front and rear disc brakes, ABS, GPS, Bluetooth (100 m), long-range communications including SMS.
These best describe Energica Ego, the first electric superbike from Modena, Italy. This mouth-watering bike packed with enormous power and torque was designed and engineered by motoring experts who have conceptualized and created high-performance cars from Formula One to Lemans 24-H in four decades,
For safety and comfort, Energica Ego has four riding modes: standard, eco, rain and sport. It also has a reverse mode for a more stable handling at low speeds.
The onboard computer carefully monitors and adjusts 100 times per second the motor’s power, from throttle command, chosen engine map, battery status and speed, regenerative engine braking and regenerative electrical brake interfaced with ABS. The latter allows quick stops even on wet roads.

The Energica Ego has no gear box, thus it is a fully-automatic motor bike which uses the accelerator to speed up or reduce the speed (when necessary in tandem with the brakes).
To make the superbike light and tough even in adverse weather conditions, carbon fiber was used in the following parts: front and rear fairing, side cover, bottom tail cover, fairing lowers, chain guard, and woven-wire. Each component is made from double layer carbon fiber, three layers for specific reinforced parts, autoclaved.
Indeed this ‘speed devil’ is probably the most exciting, exhilarating motorbike to drive in long stretch of road outside Metro Manila, and with its four driving modes the driver can adapt to the challenges of every day driving even in the asphalt jungle. The first production model will be available in 2015.
