Electric motorcycles are notorious for their impressive torque and the ability to access that torque instantaneously.

Earlier this year, I was invited to the Nasdaq by the electric vehicle investment company Ideanomics to get a closer look at the company’s newest acquisition: Energica’s high-power racing electric motorcycles.
