Energica / Re: Hope for Energica?

yeah, I just watch few videos of swiss inspection rules and they are STRICT :O

for that kind of price I will not mind selling mine fixed lines and replacing it by full flex

my bike for sure will not pass it:
- aliexpress turnsignals
- no fairings
- damaged frame
- damaged steering limiters
- bent headlight mount

Energica / Re: Charging Problems
« on: November 05, 2025, 03:43:24 AM »
The Charging Socket is a standard one from "Phoenix Contact".
I had some problems with my bike too,
Sometimes a reset via the MODE and SET button works wonders.
Keeping ESPECIALLY the short CP pin clean also helps ...
I've written with Phoenix Contact about the Energica issue, they state it's loosing the
CP-signal due to the pull of the cable.
If there is some maniac that would put in a longer "CP-Pin" in the socket that might help get
a better connection 🤣😜...and better charge initialization. Problem is...no one will do that🙃

Jonas

proximity pin is shorter - CP is normal lenght - it is about 26-27mm long - in socket and in plug - so longer terminal will not work and even if I make some mistake in measurments lets say 1-2mm it will not change much

you can always try to make custom CP terminal but a little thicker (nickelplated brass) and check if this will work

The sockets are off-the-shelf (I believe they're rated to 50kW) so they're kinda limited to what technology they can get from socket suppliers. I guess they could do something with checking voltages or resistance but I'm not sure how you'd do that without knowing the exact details of the charger which likely vary within a tolerance range even between different units of the same design.

ccs sockets are rated by current - 80-100-125-150-200-250-350-400-500A
only difference between them is diameter for wire on DC terminals

so if you buy 80-100A then probably you can fit 16mm wire or maybe 25mm max

energica and livewire use 16mm - as we know on energica we have 75A DC limit , i didnt test livewire fully but max what I got was 80A but my charger info said bms is max 100A

First, it’s in Switzerland.
Second, the SS9’s rear brake line consists of a rigid pre-formed section and a flexible one leading to the calipers. Both parts had to be replaced because the flexible section wasn’t detachable.
And did I mention this was in Switzerland?  ;)

Given Energica’s lack of response, the completely uncertain waiting time, and the likely equally high—if not higher—costs due to shipping, I considered this clearly the better option.


as predecessors said already, full custom and full flex brake line from HEL will be a lot better and cost you about 60euro

I paid 38eur with shipping for my front brake (from lever to pump) - length 59cm

Hello,
Had a small accident today.
A group of cars in front of me braked, the first one slightly, the next one harder and so forth, until me, who couldn't react in time....shit happens, fault is probably with me ...
I would need a new carbon mudguard now for a 2021 model year EVA Ribelle with Marzzochi fork...
Or try repairing it, but a new one (maybe Chris Paz could help?)
from the US would come in handy, as the insurance will probably pay for it!

Kind regards from Germany

check aprilia or ducati - should fit -on aliexpress cheapest cost about 50euro with shipping - I dont know about quality tho

I wonder if this means we will be able to buy parts for the older Energicas again. Such as for my 2020 SS9-.


-Don-  Reno, NV

I think they will, there is a lot of profit on parts and they have all ready to produce them

I really hope they can update batteries on new models - also maybe some tweaking in software (to work with tesla SuC network)

check out REZON BOHEMIA

it has 20 or 22 or 24S pack ,dont remember exactly, but the point is its below 100V

and it has ability to charge with CCS (7kW)

Your posts give me the opportunity to ask something that is on my mind for a while.

With my Ribelle I killed no less than 5 birds in 3 years now  :-\
And I am asking myself, is that happening only to me? Is that somehow connected to the near silent propulsion? I wear lot of red in my clothing and helmet, matching the bike, so maybe birds are weak seeing red? My ICE fellows allegedly have a much lover hit count.

Bird 1: A young pheasant stood on the side pavement, so I did not thought much about slowing down, bc it was standing there, way out of my way. But when just passed, it flew up and hit my rearview mirror. Impact was high, so I assume it was killed immediately.
Bird 2: My buddy driving behind me saw a blackbird trying to dive underneath my bike and was smashed by the rear tire.
Bird 3: A bird of unknown species and unrecognized by me apparently tried to dive just before the bike and managed to wedge himself under the side fairing between the fairing holder and the battery. I accidentially discovered it when I removed the fairing while tinkering. It was half mummyfied and somewhat nerve-wrecking to remove.
Bird 4 and 5: As happened to Aaron, they both came suddenly from the side and hit my helmet when doing about 100  km/h.

yes, I hit 2 with tesla :(, and almost few with bike, including cats/dogs - they only hear energica when you at close, same with tesla (tires) and they panic - usually running straight on front of vehicle  :(

oh hell yeah, i want a 240 hp monster too!!  and of course i know i'll pay dearly for it too, but the few dozen they may sell a year to fanatics won't keep the company going..

higher voltage is not automatically more efficient, that's kind of a catch there.  higher voltage, means more cells, which means, either more weight, more room taken up, BIGGER more cumbersome,  OR each cell is smaller, so while you may preserve overall kw capacity, C rate is increasing, so that means a bit less efficiency.  instead of the bigger cells being able to handle 400 amps,  the medium cells can only push 350 amps before getting too hot, so you have that tradeoff.  The voltage still has to be converted from mains to battery too, and the more you have to 'change' it, the bigger the losses.  if you really start pushing things, now insulation starts changing class too, having to protect things harder, it's harder to shield / control, arcing between terminals, dielectric strengths between parts becomes much more significant now...    there is no free lunch.

Aaron

More cells in series, less in parallel so C rates is the same in both

300V 60Ah - to get 1C you need 60amps
600V 30Ah - to get 1C you need 30amps

so you can have thinner wires, for higher voltage you need better insulation, and inverters/controller/motor will cost more bcoz of voltage range

in our bikes battery range is about 250 to 330V
with 600V system it will be 500-660V - much more range to operate = more expensive parts

I can;t understand why just insurance company write salvage instead destructed


I had an accident a while ago that left me with broken ribs and my Zero FXS with a small scratch on a small non load bearing bracket on the frame. My insurance company wrote it off and insisted the frame was cut in half so it souldn't be salvaged. Ridiculous.
in Poland, in theory even if you snap frame in 10 different pieces and later weld it together + paint - and if it pass inspection you are good to go

we have something like total loss phrase but its mean only that, offical repair cost with labor on original parts will cost more than used bike value

bad thing is that, if someone want to buy "total loss" vehicle they probably cant get photos from insurance company, just need to trust seller

Energica / Re: Left turn signal fault only when turning right
« on: June 24, 2025, 07:48:02 PM »
every connector in energica is SEALED automotive one - DEUTCHS/JST or other good quality one, besides turn signals
they use 2pin generic ones also cables is very thick

I think this is a connection issue, maybe corrosion on terminals

As previous posts says, inpect it and/or just solder it

If you have LEDs I will recrimp to JST 2pin

in theory yes

but it is pointless to slow down charging first chargng and wait, only for slightly faster 2nd or 3rd charging


I always going at full power at trips, besides at situations when I am stopping for a little longer - then I calculate and reduce amps

PS
I made 600km fun ride at mountains with friend on ICE bike - breaks every 100-120km, 20-23*C ambient - 15-80% charging - always starting with full speeds (battery temp always below 30*C


I charge faster than friend can eat his sandwiches :D

I didn't know the SS9+ has a spot for a centerstand. I only have the 2020 SS9-, no place for a centerstand, AFAIK.


-Don-  Auburn, CA

I thought these holes are for center stand

Energica / Re: Am I going nuts?
« on: June 12, 2025, 02:57:12 AM »
for now:
SS9+ 2020
HD livewire 2020
custom 72v ebike

in near future I hope I can get zero SRF/SRS

in distance future VERGE (used of course after prices drop a little)
