What I would like to know is who I should blame, Energica or A&S?  I purchased the bike at A&S, but they say Energica took back their FW updating equipment so Energicas can no longer be serviced at A&S cycles.  That's pretty bad that A&S  cannot service a new bike they sold me 13 months ago with a simple FW update.


Is Energica's service going way downhill?



BTW, in case anybody was wondering why I waited so long, there were two reasons.  At first, the bike was in Reno and a ton of snow over the summit so I could not get the bike here.


By the time the weather got better,  my best friend in Reno was having serious health problems and I had to help him out in many ways. He died last week, so now I have a lot more free time to stay here in Auburn and get things like the bike FW done--I thought.


Next closeted is Livermore, CA. But I hear they cannot do a FW update while waiting, so that involves two people for a 270-mile (435 km)  round trip.

When I got my initial 500 mile service at Calmoto in Livermore a few months ago, they did the FW update as well.  It took about 3-4 hours.  I brought a book and waited across the highway at Starbucks.

Just found recent picture of a main stand on the Dutch site https://electricmotorcycles.nl/. Well actually that section is about something else very interesting - decent crash bars!
I have contacted Marchel for more details and will share it here!

Apparently, the Netherlands' Special Enforcement Officers (BOA/Handhaving in Dutch) just received a batch of Experias with these crash bars, and from the photos, center stands as well):

It would seem that Apollo's defense about Lightning motorcycles has drifted into Energica's lane...

   Actually, it was an Energica employee who recommended I look into financial reporting.  I would be surprised if Energica encouraged the business ethics some of its employees display.

So, was that before or after you said in Reply #71 to Re: Whatever Happened to Lightning Motorcycles,

"As it seems like digging into Lightning's financials is the primary concern of some people, why don't we dig into the financials of other manufacturers?
     Did anyone check into the financials for Energica?  Honda?  VW? (They are in debt hell. 196.79B for Sept. 30, 2023). Toyota (Also in debt hell, September 2023: $223.34 B, but they still sell cars).
     I keep getting the feeling some people have ulterior motives as opposed to helping others.
     Trying to drag a smaller motorcycle manufacturer down looks to be constant.
     Is there a reason for this?"

Sounds like the opening scene to a Terminator reboot...

If you really want an Experia and indeed want a white one...I wonder if you can get either the Bormio Ice or Black models and change out the plastics when they become available..??

I personally wanted the black after I had seen one.... but it wasn't an option when I originally ordered mine...which was the "launch edition" Bormio Ice.

Smithy.

This was suggested to me as an alternative, and maybe even using a vinyl wrap.  At this point, I just want to ride one.  I changed my order to Borimo Ice and was told mid-September.

I know many have already received their Experias, but I'm still waiting (I ordered late 2022).  An excerpt from the Energica newsletter in my inbox today: "Still waiting for the Experia electric sport touring bikes to arrive?  Later this week, the last of the Experia deliveries to fulfill current U.S. Pre-Sale Customer orders will leave the factory.  After this, we’ll start providing demo bikes to our dealers for the autumn."

I use a pinlock insert as well, but for condensation on the outside of the visor, the best solution I have found was the small rubber squeegee on the index finger of my Held gloves.
