Overview

Introducing the 2016 eCRP Energica Ego 45, a groundbreaking electric sport motorcycle that stands at the forefront of the electric motorcycle revolution. Designed by the Italian brand eCRP, the Energica Ego 45 is a testament to the marriage of cutting-edge technology and exhilarating performance. As a prominent player in the electric motorcycle market, this bike not only emphasizes sustainability but also delivers a visceral riding experience that can rival many traditional combustion-engine sport bikes. With its sleek, aerodynamic design and a palette of striking colors—white, black, and carbon—this motorcycle is sure to turn heads on the road and track alike. At the heart of the Energica Ego 45 lies an impressive electric powertrain that delivers a staggering 136 horsepower and a jaw-dropping 195 Nm of torque. This potent combination propels the bike to a top speed of 240 km/h (149.1 mph), making it a fierce competitor even among its gas-powered counterparts. The oil and air-cooled motor provides consistent performance, while the chain-driven final drive ensures that power is delivered smoothly to the rear wheel. With a power-to-weight ratio of 0.5271 HP/kg, the riding dynamics are both agile and responsive, offering riders an exhilarating thrill as they carve through corners or unleash raw power on straightaways. The Energica Ego 45 is not just about raw power; it's packed with advanced features that enhance both safety and convenience. The bike is equipped with a state-of-the-art Ohlins suspension system—an FGRT fork in the front and an adjustable monoshock in the rear—that ensures optimal handling and ride comfort. The dual Brembo disc brakes with ABS provide exceptional stopping power, enhancing rider confidence at high speeds. Additionally, the bike features a 11.7 kWh battery, allowing a range of 150-190 km on a single charge, and the ability to charge to 85% in just 30 minutes makes it practical for both daily commuting and weekend rides. With a rear-wheel lift-up mitigation system and switchable ABS, the Energica Ego 45 ensures that riders can enjoy performance without compromising safety. **
