In case you missed out, the Energica Ego has earned the title of Electric Motorcycle of the Year at Motorcycle News.

Energica is said to be vast experience with Formula One racing and carbon fibre. Thus, as the subsidiary of CRP Group, it was of minimum expectation to see the firm creating an electric bike. Nonetheless, the Ego has definitely surpassed the expectations of many.

The firm’s headquarters is located in Modena, Italy and brought in Formula One racing and a number of qualified and experienced engineers to work on its electric bikes.
