"The Eva Ribelle accelerates with the kind of ferocity a superbike would be proud of, is solid in the corners and has a riding position that mixes aggression with comfort."

"Energica are well on their way to proving battery-powered machines are a fun, practical alternative to petrol power. The Esse Esse9 is classy, smooth, and has a shrieking character all of its own."

"On the road, it rides just like you might imagine a small electric moped will. Speed of the line is fine and it does indeed clamber most of the way to 50mph which does generate some nervousness, especially on those skinny tires."

"Well, the Energica Ego has one of the most exciting power deliveries of any engine we’ve ever tried. It’s easy to ride and handles superbly, despite its weight."

"As a leisure bike, the Zero can make sense – it’s fun, fresh, fascinating, and freaky, especially that eerie acceleration – but only for riders whose typical trip and riding style fall within its range."

"That value for money makes this electric machine a very viable alternative to its petrol-powered rivals"

"The Zero SR/F is a huge leap forwards in speed, sophistication, and recharge time over the firm’s previous generation of bikes. The result is easily the best road-going electric bike yet, offering truly comparable power, weight, handling, and excitement to a regular roadster."

"A second battery can be fitted to the TS for a range of 200 km/125 miles (at 15 mph,) and each battery takes 3.5 hours to charge."

"The Super Soco TC Max electric motorbike makes a convincing case that a lighter, simpler, short-range commuter is a better use of today’s battery tech than a big roadster..."

"Overall, the S feels quite small physically, with a riding position that sits you on top of the bike rather than deep inside it."

"The wide, plush seat is comfy enough for an hour’s commute and you’re sat behind a tall, protective windscreen that helps shelter you from poor weather."
