Without a doubt, one of the coolest things about electric motorcycles (and EVs more generally) is the promise of instantly accessible torque. Even on bikes with a relatively low top speed, the fact that you can access that power any time you want is its own special kind of intoxicating.
So naturally, you might figure that a fast and powerful electric bike, such as a 2022 Energica Eva Ribelle RS, is probably going to do great things at a drag strip. For those unfamiliar with this bike, it makes a claimed 126 kilowatts (or 171 horsepower) and 222 newton-meters (or 164 pound-feet) of torque. Factory-quoted top speed is 125 miles per hour, and zero to 60 time is 2.6 seconds.
