The
2015 Energica Ego Motorcycle won’t produce that throaty,
viscera-jumbling rumble you hear when you fire up a Harley.
It
won’t let you feather the clutch as you cruise through town or
downshift around a bend. Nor
will it let you be the neighborhood cool guy tuning the transmission
in the driveway (for one thing, it doesn’t have any gears). But
maybe you’re a different kind of cool guy.
This
stunner–the first-ever Italian superbike to run exclusively on
electricity–will travel about 100 miles on a full charge. And get
you there in a blink: Top speed is 150 miles per hour, and it will
jump to 60 mph in just over two seconds. And it looks–and
corners–the way any proper motorcycle should (brakes by Brembo, ABS
by Bosch).
But
even at $28,000, direct from the factory in Modena, it’s better to
be safe than sorry when it comes to judging the fervor behind Italian
motorsport. After all, they do go fast.
