Did you know that over one hundred years ago,
around 1832, is when the first electric car was developed?
It wasn’t much more than a small-scale prototype, but it was a start
to something that would become a phenomenon many, many years later.
That start led us to today, where we have the motorcycle we’ll be showing you in today’s video.
The Experia with the world’s largest battery capacity of any electric motorcycle.
And stick around until the end of the video for a look at our honorable mentions.
Let’s get to it!

Our story starts in Italy, where the company Energica got its start around 2014.
Since its beginning, this company has been one of the leaders in the electric mobility front,
and they operate with the slogan, “Lead the Charge!”.
That’s because their electric bikes, while on the pricier side,
are top-of-the-line when it comes to performance.
When you wield the pedigree that Energica has,
then you have to ensure a level of standard that people can rely on.
So you know that each model this company adds to their repertoire
is something special. We’re excited to talk to you about their newest addition, the Experia.
So, what makes the Experia special with such a decorated company helming this particular bike?
Well, simply put, the battery, of course!
This electric bike is fitted with a massive twenty-two-point five-kilowatt hour battery pack
with a proclaimed city range of two hundred sixty-one miles.
That’s a staggering spec, and the highway range of one hundred miles is nothing to scoff at either.
The downside to such a hefty battery is that it weighs quite a bit,
and as such, the bike itself weighs around five hundred and seventy-three pounds.
That’s a staggering weight for any bike, so you’ll
need to have some comfort with something like this if you’re to give it a spin.
Because of the weighty battery, the motor has been slimmed down a bit.
It puts out a peak power of only about one hundred and two horsepower.
And with the Experia being a touring bike, it also is capable of level one,
two, and three charging speeds. You can charge the cycle from zero to
eighty percent at the most efficient third speed in around forty minutes.
Various boxes around the hefty bike make up thirty gallons of storage space.
A lockable, waterproof glovebox is situated in the front, and there are four USB ports close by.
If you’re interested in getting an Experia for yourself, preorders have become available for
around twenty-five and a half thousand dollars, with deliveries expected to start in August.
As always, thank you for watching, and we hope you enjoyed the video.

We've seen some exciting and unique motorcycles throughout this ride, and before we let you go,
why don't we stop for just one more.
Damon Motorcycles is keen on creating a motorcycle that will adapt to the rider and
grow with them. They seek to create more than just a motorcycle. They seek to create global ripples.
The Hypersport Premiere is one smooth operator, and it has the looks to match.
As the name suggests, this is a premier experience.
It may not be as quick as the WMC250EV,
not much is, but it lands a solid second place in that department with a max speed of 200mph.
The Hypersport Premiere does have the best motor and charging time on the list,
though, with an 80% charge done in 45 minutes on a fast DC charging station.
If you want something cheaper, but with that Damon Motorcycles craftsmanship, then you're in luck.
Damon Motorcycles offers four models in their range,
the Hypersport Premiere being the top of the line. And for almost half the price, the HS is a steal.
It is nearly comparable to the Premiere in every way.
For half the price of the Hypersport Premiere, you can pick up an SX,
which has a top speed of 155mph.
Lastly, for $17,000, the SE is the cheapest model in the lineup but hardly a pushover.
We follow up the F77 with another Indian company by the name of Orxa
Energies! This is a team that has the skill, charisma, and most importantly, fun!
And with the Mantis, Orxa Energies has shown that they are hungry.
This slender, ambush predator of a bike is equipped with a 9kWh battery pack,
Orxa Energies specialty.
They develop battery packs with much higher performance at lower weights and volume.
They are specifically designed to tackle the challenges brought by performance vehicles.
The battery pack strapped to the Mantis can be fully charged in only three and
a half hours using an average portable charger.
The Mantis manages to be a feisty scrapper that tries to duke it out with some of the top dogs,
and you can expect to see it launch in August of 2021.
If there are any Erik Buell fans, you'll be happy to hear that he is still working
in the business after closing his last company, Erik Buell Racing.
His brilliant and instantly classic bikes like the EBR
1190RX and 1190SX landed him a Chief Technology Officer gig with Fuell.
Fuell's first build goes a different route than the Buell race roots.
Instead, they are targeting a more economical electric bike, the Fllow!
The Fllow has a unique look to it, and although it doesn't put out a ton of power,
it dishes out a solid, consistent stream of strength.
It also happens to have the best acceleration on the list,
with a 0 to 60 time in 2.7 seconds. The Fllow knows how to use every bit of juice.
It also has some of the best torque on our list. Its 553 foot-pound power
matches that of a Ford GT supercar!
You can expect to see more of the Fllow soon.
