Energica unveils Experia: new electric Green Tourer
Energica Motor Company S.p.A., the Italian manufacturer of
high-performing electric motorcycles based in Modena, Italy has
just unveiled a new 0-emission green tourer model during the FIM
Enel MotoE World Cup races at Mugello this weekend.
EXPERIA- Born to be wind
During these over 10 years of full-electric focus, Energica
technical team has been capable to create a brand-new
sustainable branch inside the Italian Motor Valley: the Electric
Valley proudly made in Energica.
From racing to the road, Energica has grinded thousands of
km/miles, gathering the experience for the first line-up still
on the market. Now the focus of the Italian company adds a new
element: the electric wanderlust.
Here comes Experia, a brand-new motorcycle designed and built to
enhance the pure electric motorcycle riding experience.
“We have focused on the real-world needs of motorcycle riders
worldwide, creating an ex novo state-of-the art engineering
platform.” Said Giampiero Testoni, CTO Energica Motor Company.
“We melded high-tech electric mobility with the roaming spirit
of the motorcycle traveler. The intention was to create the
first electric motorcycle created specifically for long-distance
bike lovers.”
EXPERIA: the new horizon of the Italian electric expertise
Hesperia was the name given by the ancient Greeks for the
unspoiled lands beyond the Western horizon of the then-known
world. That spirit of exploration can now be indulged by any
rider who wishes to travel to the ends of our now-known world in
an environmentally-friendly way.
EXPERIA denotes the deep expertise Energica has acquired during
a decade of racing, design and manufacturing in the field of
electric technology.
Energica Green Tourer Platform
Energica Experia is the first model release as part of a new
second generation “Energica Green Tourer” technological
platform.
Innovations include a reengineered EMCE electric motor, revised
battery chemistry, and new frame and chassis design, all
intended to reduce weight and vastly improve balance and
rideability. The result in the Energica Experia is an electric
green tourer bike integrally designed and built for that purpose
from the ground up.
The motorcycle delivers on the essential promise of comfort and
endurance yet is the nimblest and most maneuverable machine
Energica has ever made.
“It is the Company’s intention to spread these technological
innovations across a family of other electric motorcycles”, says
Giampiero Testoni, Energica Motor Company CTO, “and additionally
incorporate elements of these in Energica Inside, the recently
launched business unit of Energica Motor Company S.p.A.
dedicated to the development and production of powertrains,
batteries and technology across numerous disciplines and
applications.”
PURPOSE-DRIVEN PERFORMANCE: a new High-Tech platform.
The Experia motor and battery are both brand new. Battery
capacity has increased, yet has a lower weight, plus a
centralized, lower center of gravity allows for better low-speed
rideability. Experia enjoys the largest battery capacity of any
electric motorcycle at 22.5 kWh maximum (19.6 kWh nominal) that
can be charged from 0-80% in just 40 minutes at a Level 3 / DC
Fast Charger at a top rate of 24 kW. You can also use Level 2
(240V) and Level 1 (120V) charging at the office or for longer
stops, or overnight at home for substantial savings over the
cost of petrol. Energica is the only manufacturer to offer
riders all three levels of charging.
The completely new designed PMASynRM motor EMCE (Synchronous
Reluctance assisted by permanent magnets) is also lighter, with
less mass, and is positioned lower than in our other models.
Peak power is 75 kW (101 HP), torque is 115 Nm (85 lb. ft.) and
then the top speed for the Energica Experia is 180 km/h (112
mph) – perfect for everyday freeway riding.
Electric means no shifting or pulling in a clutch, no noise from
exhaust, no heat and vibration by the reciprocating mass of an
IC engine.
Energica Experia is intended for wholly immersive riding
experience, allowing rider and passenger to fulfill the needs of
long-distance, putting them in touch with nature on a sensory
level.
Satisfy your long-distance wanderlust
This translates into the longest range of any electric
motorcycle, regardless of speed: from 246 km (153 miles)
combined to 420 km (261 miles) in urban areas. The engine
counter-rotating, reduce total inertia of the motorcycle.
The Energica Experia fairing provides excellent weather and wind
protection while remaining stylish and unobtrusive. New
voluminous hard side panniers and top case with a total capacity
of 112 liters will be included in the Launch Edition, designed
for long-distance travel. The Launch Edition will also include
bar ends and bolts in black ergal, heated handgrips and aluminum
rims with red details.
Experia is equipped with two USB ports on the dash and two more
in a waterproof large and lockable storage compartment. The
accessories list will gradually grow and will cover all the
needs of all customers who love green touring.
Any corrections or more information on these motorcycles will be kindly appreciated.
