EV Channels Review
This video documents an ambitious 850-mile journey from Land's End to John o'Groats on two Energica Eva Ribelle electric motorbikes. The reviewer highlights the bike's significant power and the improved range offered by the larger battery, noting impressive real-world efficiency, often exceeding 10 miles per kilowatt-hour. Despite initial concerns about range and charging times, the journey was completed in approximately 36 hours, significantly faster than a previous four-day trip on a non-rapid-charging model. Key challenges included extreme cold weather impacting rider comfort and battery performance, the inconvenience of non-operational charging stations, and the inherent boredom of motorway riding. However, the reviewer praises the bike's capability for long distances, its enjoyable handling on twisty A-roads, and the overall positive experience, concluding that the Eva Ribelle is a highly capable machine for such demanding journeys.
