I'd like to say a few words of warning, based on my experience of running a Kia Soul EV for 18 months. I have also put over 22,000 miles on my Zero, but that is used mainly for commuting so doesn't really count. I think running a short range EV and using rapid chargers with the Soul EV is more relevant.
From what I've read, it sounds like the Ego will struggle to do 80 miles of mixed riding on a full charge and significantly less when cruising on the motorway. It's the kind of bike that wants to be ridden in a manner that will probably reduce that range to 60 miles at best. That's pretty similar to the motorway range my Soul EV had during the coldest days in winter here in the UK.
Unfortunately you'll never ride those sixty miles unless you're willing to take a lot of risk. That's because you'll want to get to the next charging point with at least a few miles spare. You need some contingency when planning a trip for lots of reasons, not least that estimating actual range is difficult due to all the different variables. Another reason is that rapid chargers are relatively few and far between, so you'll be lucky to find one within about 10-15 miles of your ideal stopping point.
We mustn't forget that you won't get a full charge at each rapid. Most rapids cut out before a full charge, or at least reduce the rate of charge so much at higher SoC levels that you're better unplugging and moving on before its full.
So let's say you plan a trip based on 50 miles between stops. On a fast bike like the Ego, you might be looking at having to stop every 45 minutes on a long trip in order to charge for 20 minutes. Not only that, but the 20 minutes turns into half an hour by the time you've slowed down, found the charger, plugged in, used the app or whatever and so on until you're back up to speed on the road you just left.
Then there's charging anxiety. You don't know if the rapid charger will be available until you roll up to it. It might be in use or even more frustratingly, the previous guy has finished and hasn't returned. Will the damn thing work when you do plug it in our will it not like charging at 20 kW? I've had all kinds of other problems like isolation errors and apps that are unreliable.
I would think very carefully about how you will use the Ego. If it's mostly for commuting and you can do the round trip on one charge, then fine. If you can charge at work then that's fantastic. However, if you plan to do any touring, then I'd avoid it like the plague. Trust me, you'll soon get sick of charging, just like I did with the Soul EV. So sick of it that I got rid of it 18 months into a two year lease. Range really does matter a lot if you plan to use the bike for anything more than commuting or a bit of fun for a couple of hours or so over the weekend. You might feel willing to stop for half an hour every hour or so, but will your mates feel the same if you're on a group ride? Also, the coffee is expensive at motorway service stations and they aren't pleasant places to hang out. In fact, most rapid charger locations are pretty horrible; hotels or motorway service areas. Very few town centres here in the UK, with the exception of Milton Keynes which is still just one big motorway service station...
A bike like the Ego needs at least 20 kWh of usable capacity. That would get you close to the kind of range most sports bikes have but even then you've got to spend 20 minutes at the pump instead of about two minutes to fill up with petrol. The Ego is also a very heavy beast and I can't imagine it handles anything like as well as a Fireblade. It probably won't be as reliable either and I hate to think what happens when something goes wrong with it...
One last point to bear in mind is that whatever you save in fuel and servicing costs will be a drop in the ocean compared to the depreciation on the bike. It's a lot of coin to splash out on any bike and its lack of range will mean it will devalue very quickly.
If none of that matters to you and you would just love to own one, then go for it because I'm sure it will still be an awesome bike.
