Bringing it back on topic - the Ego does have active cooling for the battery and I believe the charging hardware, separately. Very smart design from what was described to me. One road trip advantage in the summer, vs Zeros. The real world range of them however...seems to be a very negative factor.

Met with Energica management this past week. I thought I'd be convinced. Quite the opposite, snake oil. Seemed to be contradicting themselves with every sentence.

SM can I ask who you talked to at Energica and where?

Snake oil? Now, I have criticisms of how they're discounting the bikes, and what customer experience could be like long-term, but I don't think they're faking anything.

What gave you this impression?

this post has no merit without elaborating as to why you say this. Also to get back on topic the only answer to the OP ive seen in this thread is roughly 71 miles HW range?

I have heard Brandon Miller claim that the Ego has a longer range / no range penalty if you know how to economize. Basically if you ride it smoothly and don’t overuse regen.

However, he is currently severely injured from an accident involving that bike, so my line of inquiry on that front is on hold.

This would seem to make sense, its heavier and has more power but a fairing. So if you use less power it should be closer to a zero in range.

I ended up going with a 14.4kWh Zero. ...........

Oki, you wanted Energica.
But is the DSR so bad for a sad face?    ->  ->  -> 

Only kidding, but have you also driven the Energica?
Would love to know the main differences in the "power train" of both brands (meaning driveability, are they both smooth or not, did you noticed?).

As an EVA's Rider, I can give you some data (not much cause i have it for about 5 days now )

for commutin, I ride on highway / road / city with a sporty/Cruising riding type and i'm using about one percent per Km (always in sport mode)

That's about 10 kWh/100km for a road trip riding style
And about 13 kWh/100km on highway (at 120/130 Km/h)

for sure, while using 100% of available power it begins to fall drastically ^^ but that's the same for every vehicle.
