Does anyone know the name of the app he used to create the times and graphs at the end of the video?

I can confirm he was using a Dragy to collect the data shown in the graph at the end of the video.

Launching a lower power EV motorcycle is easy, just twist and go. Getting the best results from a high power bike like the Ego takes a bit more skill. The bike puts down so much torque applying it all can be tricky.
Getting a good launch on a EV is easier vs a ICE bike, there are less inputs to manage. Video does not show a good short of the dash to see what TC mode the bike in the video is set at however knowing the owner I suspect he has it turned off.

I believe a properly configured EGO+ with a experienced rider should be capable of a sub 10 second 1/4 mile pass. Optimizing tire pressure, suspension setup and gearing ratios make a big difference in ET.

My best time at the drag strip in Bakersfield, CA on the Ego+ RS was 10.337 @ 132.44 mph.  That was with a 220lb rider (in gear) and an all stock bike, stock tires @ 35 PSI, no burnout and TC1 set. 

I've always said a lightweight pro with a bike properly setup and a good burnout should break into the 9s.  I'm kind of amazed honestly that no one has done it yet.  My last run at the drag strip was over a year ago...

On the Dragy.  I only use it for the pretty graph.  My time slip from the drag strip has all the data on it that I care about.  But in general, its amazing how a little device like the dragy is pretty darn close to my time skip numbers.  Usually less than .1sec difference.

We are meeting in South Lake Tahoe at the Chargepoint fast chargers at noon.  We will
Have 3 bikes.  Two Energica and Livewire. 

Lunch while bikes are charging and then we’ll ride around the lake. 

If anyone can make it that’d be great. 

Really bummed we couldn’t make the ride happen yesterday.  We would have had 9 bikes on the ride. 

A bunch of the guys in the SoCal electric riders Facebook group got bored and decided to race to Las Vegas for junk food and bragging rights. I have written up an article about it because I was thoroughly entertained by it.

For the record, that's 100% accurate.

Bored....junk food...bragging rights. 

Thanks.  I'm looking at their line of adapters to see if anyone will work with the Ego fairing mount.

Got lucky and got my 2021 Ego+ Sport in SoCal on 4/21/20.  Had it exactly one week now and so far I've put 900 miles on it breaking it in and getting used to it.  Total blind luck that I got my bike before everything shut down due to the virus.  I know for a fact 2 the + models were delivered in SoCal last Tuesday as well.
