  • Electric vehicles are all the rage these days but how does new tech lend itself to a motorcycle?
    The Energica Eva EsseEsse 9+, the electric motorcycle that aims to win over some of the purists. In Singapore, where we reviewed this electric motorcycle, the country is a bit late to the game but late is better than never.
    Do let us know your thoughts and comments about the Energica Eva EsseEsse 9+ and we'll be happy to answer them in the comments below!

      No.
      Not enough range for the riding I do, let alone charging issues.
      Once those are solved, it will be hard to move away from something with a clutch. Nothing more rewarding than hammering through the gears in the mountains.
      Electric bikes are great for urban riding. Aside from that, it will be hard to sway the masses.

    Driving the Eva Ribelle for a year now, great bike. Very happy with it. No problems at all with the bike. Mostly charging at home (commuting traffic) Agree with some CSS charging problems, Shell and Ionity chargers seems to have problems. FastNed chargers always work (Dutch company) So problem must be solvable. And agreed, in fast curves the bike weight is noticeable.

    The old "loud pipes save lives" myth has been (scientifically!) debunked a while ago. Drivers in a car will not notice the noises of a conventionally powered bike until it is actually ride beside the car (right before impact) due to insulation alone.

    i have ss-+ over 3 months (7000km already) only drawback FOR ME are longer trips, at 25*C or more ambient temps first charging will be quick 20-80% and should take 20-25min -after that battery indicator temp will change from green to yellow - yellow mean ok but then charging is limited to 35-50A (depend of battery temp) which means second chargging will take 40-45min
    fast/fun range (10-90%) is about 130-140km, tour riding (mountains = lower speed/curves) about 190-220km

    I bought it last week through an importer here in Dubai since they have no dealerships or agencies here but they partnered with a bike service center which is good so they can repair it whenever something is wrong with it. it will be shipped next month here in Dubai. This is my second electric bike, my first one was a Zero DSR i really loved it but lacked some range especially here in the Dubai heat.

    Hey jour comment about the fact that cars will notice noisy bike IS wrong. When you ear Loud pipes you Nevers know where its coming from...Best thing IS to be seen ! Thus on all motorcycles thé security IS to have highbeam led lights. Several recent studies showed that there was not more attention from car drivers with vert load pipes ans silent ones.

    • @GeekCulture
      @GeekCulture  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I can only describe my experiences riding here in Singapore and the way traffic moves.
      I say this for two reasons:
      1. With the amount of multimedia in cars now distractions are higher and drivers are less aware.
      2. If you live in a city or town that allows lane splitting this extra noise can help keep drivers aware there is something around them.
      While there is more tech coming into cars like blind spot detection it sometimes isn’t enough.

A few years from now people will be riding EV for pennies and the haters will still be sending their dollars to the Middle East.

    Trusting your life to someone else's attention is a recipe for disaster. Loud pipes saves lives is irresponsible. Accept the responsibility for your own life no excuses or dont ride. How do I know? 50 years of riding a collection of 10+ bikes both in the Isle of Man and UK from GSXR 1000 K5 to Suzuki Stinger 125.
    The Zero SRF (my third electric bike) is the bike I keep riding, I ride in all weathers.
    To say its a heavy bike use the back brake not the front is so wrong, always use the front brake subject to adhesion, and on an EV with high regen set the rear tyre is often being worked hard anyway.
    My SRF is one of the most manoeuvrable bikes I have. Pulse the front brake on walking pace turns, use the front brake to micro compress the forks and bounce the bike back to stay static (trials technique) a clutch is not needed.
    The SRF is not silent but its quite enough that on slow country back roads with blind bends I can already here the tractor coming the other way before I see it and he sees me so my silence has already given me another tool in the tool box to look after myself. You enter that bend on a noisy bike and you spook a horse, good luck dealing with that nightmare on the exit.
    Fitting a speaker! Dont make me laugh, peace and quiet is precious enough in this day and age without folks actively polluting that as well........take responsibility ride fast and ride safe, ride aware, your life is your responsibility.

    • @GeekCulture

      Hi. My experiences here in Asia sound different than yours and your comparing a different bike vs the one I’m reviewing.
      As for speakers, they are already doing this with Electric cars so why is it surprising if this happens to motorcycles.
      The energica weight and feel is different. Try using the front brake on it and your will be surprised how it feels. There were plenty of riders who dropped it doing just that on slow manoeuvring.
      We all take a risk every time we are on the road but there are some things we can do to alert drivers out there. Obnoxiously loud exhausts is not what I’m talking about, but some sound does help. Cars have multimedia systems in them now and people are constantly distracted.
      Take care and ride safe.

      There is a system being developed for bikes with speakers all over the bike and it even adds vibration I think, can't remember what it's called. It also had different engine type simulation and adjusted the power band of the bikes to be like a 2 stroke or a v4 etc I think there might be a market for something like that on some bikes, for some people.

The loud pipes crap is just put forward by bikers who fit aftermarket exhausts and enjoy pissing people off. If any thing electric bikes heighten your awareness and improve your observation and riding skill. Funny thing is now I have my Zero I find noisy conventional bikes really irritating! Oh, and my Zero out pulls my VMAX by a long shot. It’s simply just thrilling.

      For years cars and bikes have been adding parts to their vehicles that have no performance benefit but there strictly for cosmetic purposes. The idea isn’t new and I’m sure in the future with classic bikes like Triumph, Royal Enfield and even Harley, the complete removal of the exhaust system will look off. Hence there may be cosmetic options that give the look of a classic bike but also have the sound to compliment it
