Il Kit will take the experience to another level, and give every customer the chance to achieve their Energica Ego’s complete potential on the racetracks
Kit Corsa Clienti is available upon request only. Estimated delivery time : 3 months.
ENERGICA EGO SPORT BLACK: “BADNESS TO THE MAX”
The Ego sportbike, selected in 2017 as MCN’s “Electric Bike of the Year”, is now offered with brand new graphics and color.
With this new look, the Italian Manufacturer has decided to honor the immense development activity that the technical team is carrying out for the upcoming FIM Enel MotoE World Cup, where Energica will be the Single Manufacturer.
This racing experience, thanks to the numerous trials and the thousands of kilometers made on the track with the test rider Alessandro Brannetti, is a unique test bench for the development not only for these racing bikes but also for Energica road bikes for sale to the general public.
Energica is the only electric motorcycle company in the world to have this competitive advantage.
The new color is inspired by the prototype test of the Ego Corsa 2019 and honors the partners who supported Energica with such great enthusiasm.
