Energica has now expanded to 95 dealers around the world including in key markets of France, Germany, and the UK. The company has recently entered new markets of Australia, Eastern Europe, Portugal, Paskistan, and Nepal.
In the US alone, Energica increased from 14 to 25 dealers.
….
At the time, Energica had three models of 125+ mph (200+ km/h) electric motorcycles. Since then, the recently launched Energica Experia sport touring model has added a fourth bike to the company’s lineup.
I had the pleasure of cruising the winding roads of the Italian Alps on that bike, barely making a dent in the Experia’s massive range. To put it in hard numbers, the bike offers a city range of 420 km (261 miles) and a highway range of 209 km (130 miles).
The Experia uses a large 22.5 kWh maximum-rated battery (19.6 kWh usable) to reach such impressive ranges, and combines that battery with DC Fast Charging capability along with Levels 1 and 2 charging (home wall charging and EVSE-style public charging stations).

Thanks for the advertising.

Whatever, ignoring the snark. This is awesome! Not only is market penetration occurring on EV bikes, but distance is going up with more affordable options. The Experia could be a fun sport touring bike to try which is among the closest equivalent to the NT segment (so far).

Nice increase but still no real dealer network...the exact reason I won't buy any Italian bike. Go to their website click on Find a Dealer and check out the dealerships inventory and other brands. Same issues with Ducati, Moto Guzzi, and other Italian brands. For some reason they can't get a decent dealer network especially in the Southeast. :rolleyes: When one of the big brands, with a dealer network, comes out with a competitor it will be more interesting.

I'm a little lucky being in a major metropolitan region around Washington DC, there's only one 10 miles from me that is an authorized Energica dealership here called Cyclemax. It looks like they're working through existing dealers.

I live in Southern Idaho.
As in California, Idaho Power asked us to minimize electric power use.
If I bought any electric vehicles, it would sit unused in the garage.

That's rough, sorry to hear that Dave. The whole midwest appears to be having more problems than ever between wildfires, electric supply problems and water shortages. No signs of it getting any better either. Stay safe over there.

I hardly think that a 130 mile highway range qualifies it as a sport touring bike. Nor do I consider a 130 mile range as "impressive" as the sales copy reads.

I'd generally agree, though recharge timeframes are about as long as a typical stop for lunch. No desire to go further and I can't go for long rides with my bad back, so it could potentially suit me for a weekend or short rider. Or as a commuter for those commuting distances within that range.
 
If it fits into one's riding style or limitations that's great. For me, it just wouldn't work. I only eat one lunch a day ;)

I have a 650Hawk that gets about 130 miles on a tank. It is a PITA if you are traveling any distance in rural areas. I start looking for a gas station at 100 miles. And charging stations are few and far between. So electric is a no go for me.
Solar flares are warming up our whole solar system. It is a much larger problem than just CO2 IMO.
 
If you sold only 1 unit last year and 5 units this year, you've improved sales "up by 5x." :)

Are you referring to the sun's CMEs? If that is the case, then...

I have been eyeing an Engerica Experia for over a year now. They recently filed for bankruptcy.

Engerica Filing Bankruptcy.

Engerica website announcing bankruptcy

A local dealer currently has a used 2024 model and a brand-new 2025 model that have been sitting on their lot for over three months. Given the company’s recent bankruptcy and the impending liquidation of all assets, I’m crafting a strategy to negotiate the price down significantly.

The key leverage here is the lack of factory support for parts—this creates a notable risk for any buyer, including me. Once the general public catches wind of the bankruptcy, the dealer’s ability to sell these bikes at all will be severely impacted. This presents the perfect opportunity to position myself as a serious buyer while emphasizing the challenges they’ll face moving forward.

By highlighting these points, I aim to secure a deal that reflects the true value of the bike in a post-bankruptcy market.
 
It sounds definitely risky Brill. If it fits you and the price is right go for it. Might need to be able to retrofit some parts in the future.

The rising cost of gasoline has become increasingly hard to ignore, still hovering above $4 per gallon after a sharp spike over $6 last year in Southern California. Filling up Diva now costs me about $25 each week for a motorcycle. With my new job 20 miles away, relying on an internal combustion engine (ICE) for my commute isn't practical or sustainable.

For over seven years, I've been eagerly waiting for Honda to step into the electric motorcycle market and release something new to replace my old Zero. Sadly, that moment has yet to come. So, after diving deep into research, I've decided to move to Engergica. It's highly rated, with minimal issues, and offers everything I need—plus a range far exceeding my old Zero. It's the perfect solution for my commuting needs, and it feels like the right step forward.

I'm ready to negotiate for the best price, given the company's imminent bankruptcy. I understand the risks involved, and I hope they see it my way. I'd rather sell it at a loss to someone who's aware of those risks than let it sit around, taking up space. That space could be better used for something that moves quickly.

I've got a price range in mind that I'd be willing to accept, but I'm also prepared to walk away if the deal doesn't feel right.

I will move forward with work on my strategies in the following weeks. I will work on those plans before visiting the dealer to make a possible deal.

Seriously, 130 miles hardly qualify it for sport touring. Sport maybe, touring not so much,,,,,

That's an entire week’s worth of commuting on a single charge for me and spending just $3 to travel 100 miles? Now that’s hard to beat. It’s not only cost-effective but also a game-changer in terms of efficiency. Why continue pouring money into gas at the steep prices we must pay when I can get so much more for so much less? I'm just saying...

You pays yer money and takes your choice. If it works for you, buy it, however if a critical part fails that is unobtanium, you are left with nothing more than a fancy paperweight... a big one....
