Looks like testing is going well and there will be more news in a few weeks. Let's hope they decide to bring this to production - and soon!

A fourth entrant into the e-moto market is huge news! I wish them the best and I hope the added competition spurs the incumbents to greater heights. I don't expect any new entrant to leapfrog Energica's tech on their first try, but if anyone can do it, it's Williams. Their lightweight, high-HP motor sounds very intriguing, and fingers crossed that they've figured out a cooling solution to maintain consistent DCFC charge speeds.*

While I won't personally be in the market for a supernaked that can't carry luggage, any advancements might force Energica and others to follow suit, especially in the realm of cooling.

*I'm not expecting Triumph to fulfill their talk of 10-min 0-80% from earlier, but any improvement from the current 30-40 min status quo would be welcome.
