How does it compare?
Speed
The ENERGICA EGO+ Tricolore roars ahead with a top speed of 150 mph (241 kph), slightly lagging behind the lightning-fast Lightning LS-218 which zooms up to 218 mph (351 kph). However, it edges past the Harley-Davidson LiveWire at 110 mph (177 kph) and the Zero SR/F at a humble 124 mph (200 kph).
Range
On the range front, the ENERGICA EGO+ Tricolore delivers a solid 260 miles (418 km) under city conditions, just about synchronizing with the Damon Hypersport HS with its 200 miles (322 km) range. Meanwhile, Zero SR/F comes up a bit short with 161 miles (259 km), and the Lightning LS-218 peters out at roughly 100 miles (160 km), making it more of a sprint king than a marathon runner.
Power
This Italian stallion puts out a commendable 171 horsepower (128 kW), shadowing the craziness of the Lightning LS-218 and its monstrous 200 hp (149 kW). The muscle-bound Damon Hypersport HS dishes out 200 hp (149 kW) while the Zero SR/F sighs at 110 hp (82 kW). The Harley-Davidson LiveWire hums along with a modest 105 hp (78 kW).
Charging Time
In terms of recharging, the ENERGICA EGO+ Tricolore takes around 40 minutes for an 80% recharge with DC fast charging, a smidgen quicker than the Damon Hypersport HS at about 45 minutes. On the slower end, theres the Zero SR/F needing approximately 60 minutes, and the Harley-Davidson LiveWire clocking in at around 60 minutes too. As for the Lightning LS-218, its somewhere between 30 and 120 minutes depending on the charger— talk about unpredictability.
Price
Priced at $30,900 (around £23,000 or €27,000), the ENERGICA EGO+ Tricolore is quite the splurge. Competing with the affordability of the Zero SR/F starting at around $19,495 (roughly £14,410 or €16,930), it seems a bit posh. The Harley-Davidson LiveWire isnt too far off at $29,799 (£22,000 or €26,000), while the Lightning LS-218 at close to $38,888 (a pretty penny at £28,500 or €34,100) might need a discussion with your bank manager. The Damon Hypersport HS sits comfortably at $24,995 (£18,350 or €21,730), offering a decent middle ground.
