Overview


Having started in 2010, Italian firm Energica is a relative newcomer in the world of electric motorcycles that quickly found fame in MotoE. Their newest release is the base model Eva EsseEsse9+, which features toned-down motorsport technology that caters to the everyday user. A classic and sporty motorbike, the EE9+ has an impressive WLTP-approved range of 143 miles and four ride modes – ranging from Eco to Sport - although the lack of a loud rumbling exhaust (completely unnecessary on an electric motorcycle!) may take some getting used for seasoned riders.

* This metric estimates the environmental impact of driving your electric vehicle based on how the electricity that powers your car is generated. We take the average carbon intensity across the UK grid measured throughout 2021 to calculate the expected grams of CO2 emitted per 1 km driven. The actual number will vary by region, when you charge (e.g. carbon intensity is usually lower overnight period) and whether your electricity comes from more renewable sources than the average.
