As 2023 dawns, Energica is no longer the sole electric motorcycle manufacturer and supplier to the FIM MotoE series. Still, that doesn’t mean the company has no more love in its heart for racing. In fact, it chose February 14 as the day to announce that it’s entering a new racing series this year—and one that may come as a bit of a surprise to racing fans.
For 2023, Energica will officially be entering an Eva Ribelle into MotoAmerica’s 2023 Super Hooligan National Championship. That means it will compete against a host of combustion machines—and in so doing, become the first electric brand to compete full-time in a racing series where it’s doing exactly that.
