When it seemed that the international market for motor vehicles was more interested in creating increasingly powerful and safe electric cars, and the motorcycling world was falling behind in this sector, the Italian firm Energica Motor Company released the first major luxury electric motorcycle in Europe called Energica Eva, a truly sophisticated bike that will captivate the most experienced riders as well as environmentally conscious drivers.
Energica Eva.
With a perfect combination of agility, care for the environment and powerful driving, this unique and exclusive model has nothing to envy the big conventional gas-powered motorcycles.
In spite of its rebellious spirit, the greatest attraction of this street fighter is that it offers an easy handling that allows the rider to control the bike’s energy plus the ability to turn heads every time it hits the road.

Its permanent magnet AC (PMAC) oil cooled engine of 109 horsepower produces 70kW of instantaneous power and a torque of 180 Nm (133 lbs/ft), which give you an idea of the spirited and reliable performance of the engine when driving at high speeds on the open road.
The electric motorcycle has a range of up to 200 km or 125 miles (ECO mode) and can reach a top speed of 200 kilometers per hour (125 mph) in Sports mode, which makes it a machine unrivaled in the market for electric motorcycles.

Eva’s battery, inverter, charger, and ABS brakes are constantly monitored and managed by a sophisticated Vehicle Control Unit.
Energica Eva has no gearbox or clutch because everything is aptly regulated by the Ride-by-wire system that lets you control the acceleration and deceleration of the motor with the integrated regenerative torque braking, which is entirely adjustable by the rider.
It also has an integrated Bluetooth system to connect to any existing phone brand or device on the market and on the dashboard, there is a small TFT color display with an internal memory for data logging.

This motorcycle is fully compatible with the commercial charging stations and can also be easily charged at home. Also, Eva is the only electric street fighter of this type in the world with an integrated fast charging system on board that recharges the battery immediately when there is no possibility of doing so elsewhere.
The imposing presence of the motorcycle is enhanced by unique fiberglass panels supported by a tubular steel frame and colors ranging from golden to green to black and white. The process involves applying a pre-coating film that gives great evenness to surfaces and excludes any porosity.
Energica Eva is poised to become a motorcycle icon with its European engineering, power, and sophistication, but most importantly, it appeals to eco-conscious riders in Europe and the rest of the world. In its most basic version, the ecological electric Energica Eva is priced at $30,000, and those who have driven it, have nothing but praise for its easy and reliable driving, its amazing design, easily controllable state-of-the-art features, and overall driving experience. ■
