Stefano Mesa rounded out the top five finishers riding an Energica Eva Ribelle RS electric motorcycle at the Laguna Seca in California during the Mission Foods Super Hooligan National Championship by MotoAmerica. The EV racebike showed excellent form at the weekend race, despite not having a threatening exhaust note.
During the two previous series races at the Daytona Speedway and The Ridge, Mesa showed the power and performance of the electric EVA Ribelle with back-to-back top ten finishes. For the first time, the Energica Eva Ribelle brings high-performance electric power to California’s Laguna Seca raceway
Round 5 and 6 of the 2023 Super Hooligan National Championship took place July 7-9 at Laguna Seca in California. Team Tytlers Cycle Racing and Stefano Mesa are ready to take to the track with the Eva Ribelle RS equipped with the Kit Corsa Clienti and sporting the PETRONAS Iona colors.
The Energica EVA Ribelle is highly recognizable on track, not only because of its distinctive ‘fighter jet’ sound but also due to the new PETRONAS livery sporting the Malaysian company’s iconic green. The two companies recently signed a partnership agreement that links them at many levels, with PETRONAS Iona being the brand shown on the #137 machine. Iona is the range of fluids designed by PETRONAS for new energy vehicles.
“Energica is always looking for new challenges that will advance the development path of the company” stated Energica Motor Company Inc. CEO, Stefano Benatti. “Among these, we see our involvement in the Roland Sand Design’s Super Hooligan National Championship, part of the MotoAmerica series, as really crucial, because Energica is the first and the only electric to compete directly against ICE (internal combustion engine) players for an entire season.”
