I think the range is quite good for an electric bicycle but i wonder if you can order performance parts like pedals 

No once you get 100% it means that the battery is balanced

It's already a PITA no need to wait for a confirmation screen

My bike had a connector issue inside the battery that prevented a full 100% charge. It took us like 1 year to find this issue so basically the bike wasn't balanced for at least a year.

To give some credit to my dealer, this issue is very rare and couldn't be found easily. There's no special error code and the main symptom was that the bike shut off. It only happened 2 times in one year. First time, we thought it was a firmware issue and i thought it was resolved. When i was "balancing" my battery i wasn't to worried to see 98% the next morning and thought i had lost 2% overnight so i thought i was doing the right thing

The second time the bike shut off, i couldn't even charge DC so that why we did some freeze frame and send them to the factory. Then Energica Italy took control of the bike and runs a bunch of test, we made some also and they found that my issue was hardware related and that i was a very rare connecting issue inside the battery. That explain why they flew 3 techs from italy to fix it instead of changing the battery pack. I can't blame my dealer, he's great and this issue is so specific that he couldn't find it "alone"

About the dealers and balancing, most of them aren't aware that the bike shut down after 1h even if it's unbalanced. As us, they thought they were doing the right thing just by putting it on charge without limit every now and then.
For exemple, when the guys from energica explained this to my dealer, he put the demo Ribelle to the test and had to do 4 cycles do reach 100% 

Again, for me the fact that the bike shut off after 1h even if balancing isn't done is a bad design choice and the fact that even the dealers aren't aware of it isn't really clever.

However, despite this, i'm still amazed by the level of customer service from my dealer and Energica. They put a lot of effort to find the issue, once they found out what it was, they flew the week after from italy to fix it so ok there's sometimes some issues or mistake but they care of them.

I shared more or less all your opinions before discussing until the techs from Energica explained to me how their bike behave and shown me a deep analysis of my battery life stating that my last full balance was in july 2022. Then they told me that i need to plug/unplug/resume again and again and that my battery will only be fully balanced when 100% will show. It's not dealer "bullshits" those guys are working at the factory so i assume they know their bike better than anyone.

To be honest, i think it's a bad design decision to made the bike start balancing so "late" in the charging process when you implement a cut off after 1h without juice.

All in all it's not a big deal, but i just wanted to point out that sometimes we may think we balanced the bike properly but it's not always true

@Valen: I have a complete set of nice indicators here waiting to be installed as well. So I promise, I will die trying 

Just as @Demoni suggested I looked at the fuse box yesterday and attached some pics. The fuse box is underneath the right top fairing which is helt by 5 screws only.

There are 7 fuses, according to my manual (RIbelle RS '22) they are for the following functions.
1. Vehicle control unit 30 A
2. Power train controller 10 A
3. ABS valves 15 A
4. ABS pump 25 A
5. Charge manager, connectivity hub, OBD 10 A
6. USB and heated grips 10 A
7. E-Keyless 10 A

The No.7 totally surprised me, because I do not have a keyless system! Does anyone know why? Is this circuit active even without keyless?

My plan is to tap into the No.6 circuit just at the fuse box with this wire tap    https://www.posi-products.com/posiplug.html.
Does that sound right? I am open for other suggestions!

Cost cutting they just don t bother developping another fuse box 

Following the discussion with the techs, there is no "charging complete" or "balancing complete" screen which is in my opinion really dumb.

The only way to make sure that the battery is really fully balanced is that the bike is indicating 100%. For your info, mine was badly unbalanced due to the separate issue that i had and they told me that acheiving a full balancing will take around a week (unplugging, plugging and starting over)

I already see an increase in balance so it is working (slowly).

But to be honest now that i know how it works i think i ll cancel the SOC limit for the future

Thanks guys you are giving hope that one day i ll be able to put my 4 rizoma vision
