Did you get an email indicating your time?  I'll try to get there Wednesday and hopefully we'll get a chance to meet.

I'm set for Wednesday morning, 8AM.

Sweet!  Just rode it today.  You'll have fun!  :-)

I'm STILL twitching from riding that thing.  What a BLAST!  What Ben's not telling you is that we probably got them up near 90mph on one section...  following our guide leader of course.   

I put together all my posts about the whole thing here: http://evmc2.wordpress.com/category/crp-energica-ego/ - check it out. 

I also got a chance to have a long sit-down with the CEO, Livia Cevolini, and ask her a ton of questions.  The videos are busted out by topic, if you're interested - I'm not sure, but I think they're the only English-speaking interviews of her online.  Everything I could find was in Italian, which sounds lovely to me, but I don't understand a word of it.

Here is kind of an odd review of the pre-production Energica Ego published by RideApart.com.  It seems as though they actually didn't ride the bike (or if they did, they didn't say much about the experience).  One thing that bothers me is the bike's weight.  570 pounds is a little more than I want to push around my garage or up my sloped driveway.

That is a weird review.  Looks like they read Waiting for Godot and decided to style their review after it. 

Also, the Energica Ego has reverse, so you can always power walk it around backwards and forwards.  :-)

I've read several reviews that can only be described as "weird".  It's had some great write-ups in the more mainstream press, too, but all slanted towards the non-EV audience, going into great detail about stuff most enthusiasts already know.  One day, not too far away, maybe the bikes will be written up as...  ...  motorcycles?
