How does it compare?
Speed
The Artisan Evo clocks a respectable top speed of 50 mph (80 km/h), which might make your heart flutter in suburban streets but could cause you to yearn for more on the motorway. Contrast this with the Zero SR/F blasting past at a heart-stopping 124 mph (200 km/h), leaving the Evo to lick its wounds. Meanwhile, the Harley-Davidson LiveWire zooms competes closely at 110 mph (177 km/h), just edging out the Energica Eva Ribelle, which struts its stuff at 125 mph (201 km/h). Finally, the Lightning Strike flaunts its prowess at 150 mph (241 km/h), turning the Evo into a charming neighborhood darling rather than a speed demon.
Range
Range-wise, the Artisan Evo gives you a humble 93 miles (150 km) on a single charge-not the stuff of long road trips, but perfectly adequate for the daily grind. The Zero SR/F takes it up a notch with a commendable 161 miles (259 km). Flexing its muscle, the Harley-Davidson LiveWire offers an impressive 146 miles (235 km). The Energica Eva Ribelle matches strides at 120 miles (193 km), while the Lightning Strike edges ahead with a remarkable 200 miles (322 km).
Power
With a motor power of 6 kW (8 hp), the Artisan Evo delivers a polite nudge rather than a roaring shove. The Zero SR/F flexes a muscular 82 kW (110 hp), enough to embarrass certain sports cars. Likewise, the Harley-Davidson LiveWire doesnt hold back, boasting a solid 78 kW (105 hp). The Energica Eva Ribelle and Lightning Strike, however, don the crowns with 107 kW (145 hp) and 90 kW (120 hp), respectively—leaving the Evo to focus on charm over brute strength.
Charging Time
When it comes to charging, the Artisan Evo treads a conservative path with a standard plug-in time of 8 hours, perfect for overnight replenishment. On the fast lane, the Zero SR/F refuels in roughly 4.5 hours if using a standard charger, 1 hour with a rapid one. The Harley-Davidson LiveWire gets its juice in about 1 hour using DC Fast Charge. Meanwhile, the Energica Eva Ribelle, priding itself on efficiency, pulls an elite move with as little as 40 minutes on DC fast charging. Not to be outdone, the Lightning Strike matches a super quick 35 minutes in a jiffy-charger, practically blinking in and out of charging stations.
Price
The Artisan Evo shines in terms of affordability. You can hop on one of these for a mere $4,380 (approx. £3,300 / €3,890). This is a far cry from the considerably heavier wallets needed to procure a Zero SR/F at $20,995 (approx. £16,000 / €18,500), or the Harley-Davidson LiveWire at a bank-busting $29,799 (approx. £23,000 / €26,200). The stately Energica Eva Ribelle is no charity at $22,160 (approx. £17,500 / €19,500), and the Lightning Strike lays down an affordable gauntlet at $12,998 (approx. £10,000 / €11,500), but still leaves the Evo as the pocket-friendly hero of the day.
