Energica electric superbike range gets more power for 2017

ITALIAN firm Energica has squeezed even more power from its range if high-performance electric superbikes for 2017. 

The fully-faired Ego (pictured above) now makes 145hp and 147.5lbft, up from 136hp and 144lbft. 

Meanwhile the naked Eva (below) now produces 108hp and 132.7lbft, up from 101hp and 125lbft. 

The firm says the electric bikes are Euro4 compliant.

Isn't that a bit like saying a bicycle meets new emission limits? 

The firm acquired its first UK dealer a year ago, Mota Corsa in Salisbury, Wiltshire.
