In our last video, Energica EGO RS First Ride ( we blew your mind with the incredible acceleration of this electric motorcycle.
In this video, Brock Davidson shows you how to set up your dyno to work with an Electric bike. He covers everything from the correct software to even testing radiation levels. You may be surprised that Brock’s brain gave off more radiation than this motorcycle! We have already sent his wife this video proof; it answered so many questions.
Brock also compares the Energica’s foot-pounds of torque against the Indian Challenger, ZX-14R with super sport mods, FXR with an S&S 124 motor, and a Hayabusa with a stroker crank built for grudge. The results are as surprising as this motorcycle’s acceleration pull.
Brock even takes the time to answer some of the most interesting questions from the comments in our last video, because everyone should know how the Nernst equation works. 🤓

Hate it yes and it will never be what I owne ever. They don't need to restrict a electric motor as its not under any regs on emissions. Simple buy petrole bikes and De-restrict it and it's the best . Electric is boring instant hit nothing after. If you were like that in bed you would be single for life hahahahah
Interesting and great you get into this electric world. Alway learning with you Channel
Hello Brock
As far as I know AC motors especially 3 phase are more efficient than DC motors and the fact that the motor is electrically controlled(coil activation) it allows features like regen, motor timing, riding modes and very quick power adjustment
You can look at DC motors back in the day like the warp9 and warp 11 which are extremely popular… they are extremely heavy and at tjose power levels they also need a speed controller but the timing of coil excitation is still fixed by the brushesas they pass over the copper pieces to excite the coils
Most importantly weight
The rotor on a DC motor is copper windings which makes it extremely heavy
On an AC motor the rotor has rare earth magnets mainly neodenium and aluminum or carbonfiber main structure
Performance AC motors like emrax 228 and others make 200hp weighing 20kg and some RC motors weigh 3Kg and make 40hp
Sorry for the long comment, hope it wad helpful.
Cheers
I'm curious how well this extra torque translates to the track.
Great Info Brock! The electric option for a vehicle to me is very interesting. I’m still a internal combustion guy, but the tech in these newer motors are evolving for sure. I recently seen Damon Motorcycles pushing similar tech, and the amount of safety features that’s embedded in that bike, 360* cameras etc. Very cool!
Electric motors are like a zero stroke engine think about that!
I mean, when it comes to measured torque output at the wheels, for ICE platforms it really comes down to gear ratios and mechanical advantage. 600's usually run a primary ratio of 3:1, with first gear being somewhere in the ballpark of 2.7-3.2:1, then add that to the 13/51 reduction ratio of the final drive, and the relatively meager 40 ft-lbs crank coming out of a 600 motor suddenly becomes anywhere between 700 and 1100 ft-lbs torque applied to the rear wheel in first gear, thanks to the multiple stages of gear reductions along the way. You get into 2-cylinder setups and it differs a little bit. Since twins make more torque based on engineering design, you can reduce the total reduction in the drivetrain because a) you don't have to compensate as much to generate similar rear wheel torque figures, and b) chain absolute tensile strength is finite. What interests me is whether Energica will try to attempt AC induction motors into the design. Not quite as torquey as a DC motor, but they do have their own benefits.
Love the comparison of the torque curves from the various bikes. Really looking forward to seeing how you unlock the potential currently being corked .
You never said a horsepower number? Curious to see this bike do a top end run? Will it still pull hard at 150, 160, 170?
It's not that confusing, electric vehicles use AC brushless motors driven by DC batteries that are charged by AC power.
radioation and covid tests are very similar.. and radiation just like the virus. public schoolers will just take boosters, watch tv til they join next festival and black is white. losing most of their spines in first grade..
these are coming along nicely, I'm super keen to see the range of Kawasaki electric bikes and the Triumph e motorcycle – keep up the great work Brock!
I just started working on hybrid and full electric buses, the size of those DC traction motors compared to the bus is mind boggling to me (small). When these buses move from dead start, oh your dyno butt feels it. translating to bikes… my gwad, i can only imagine. the future is here, im glad ill have a piece of it
the radiation is more high when touching your head… hahhahahaa
EMF radiation is not nuclear radiation. They are different. The person who wrote the comment was asking about EMF radiation, not nuclear radiation. Your Geiger counter is testing for nuclear radiation.
We don't mind you talking, Uncle Brock. You impart a lot of knowledge and say stuff that is interesting!
