Energica / Re: Bad News
« on: October 22, 2024, 11:04:04 PM »
Looked up our sales history on Energicas.  We sold 31 new ones since early 2018.  We were one of the very early dealers, and one of the largest ones.  2020-2022 were the hottest selling years.  To put that in comparison, we sell almost that many Aprilias per month, every month.

EV sales really dropped after 2022.  We gave up Zero this year as we went a year without a sale, and we couldn't get parts to properly support the others.  We were a Zero dealer since 2012 and used to consistently sell a few per month, then sales came to a sudden halt.

Energica / Re: Reachability of Energica, Italy, by email
« on: January 18, 2023, 05:36:23 AM »
yes, they show it as orderable.  Energica doesnt tell us if there is stock in Italy ready to go.   If they dont have any, we know Ohlins is taking forever to make shocks right now.  Some other Ohlins shocks we order direct from Ohlins have ETAs of 6+ months right now.

Speaking of cables, I heard a report the other day that the local scumbags have now focused on electric vehicle charging stations and are ripping off their charging cables and any electric power cables they can reach so that they can sell the expensive wire materials and related equipment to salvage yards. This is after the big rip off of electric street light power cables a few years ago that forced cities to bolt down their utility boxes to make it more difficult to steal the power cables between the boxes, putting the lights out of commission for months waiting for repairs and new power cables.  >:(

Happened to our Juicebox 50 station out front....some bum cut the whole J1772 cable off....sucks.  It made it almost 4 years out there.    We are going to have to look for an armored cable, or think about moving the charger to the back behind the fence (open hours only).

What model are you looking for?  Where are you located? Shipping a bike is not too hard.

grab a leftover 2020 for the biggest and best savings.  Nothing changed except colors.  Still some 2020s out there.

They need to give us a big color wheel to make it easier.    They are original colors for the all 17+ painted schemes.   

Remember each model of each year got a new color.   If you search our store for "AF1-BWK" you'll see all the kits

The painted S/SR/DS/DSR panels fit all 2014-2020 models, with a slight tank shape difference s/sr verses ds/dsr.   They are all now painted bodywork, not like the original colored plastic stuff 2014-2016

s/sr -- white, black, red, yellow, jet black, pearl white, horizon blue, satin silver

ds/dsr- graphite, white, satin green, black, orange

fx/fxs all the same non-painted parts -- rhino blue, black, white, dune

Havent seen anything about a 11kwhr FX/FXS someone mentioned above for EU markets.  Not sure how they would do that in that same chassis, and if so, why didn't the US get it first.
https://www.zeromotorcycles.com/de-de/model/zero-fxs shows an 11kw option (not kwhr).

ahh, that makes more sense.  A 11kw one probably for some special tax or licensing purpose.  Prob just a simple software change, as all the specs are the same except 4kw less output.  Appears its a licensing reason.  Easy for Zero to de-tune it.  They made some special ones that only went 12mph for new non-licensed riders to try out inside at the MC shows.  Get new riders to try a bike.   Just a few clicks in the software for them.

21 PS (15 kW) @ 4.300 U/min vs 15 PS (11 kW) @ 3.700

Führerscheinklasse
A2 Führerschein for normal one
A1/B Führerschein for 11kw one

yes, just new colors, no changes other than the FX/FXS line went up $300, all other pricing stayed the same. 

Nothing is to say Zero cant have another model launch in the near future, kind of like the SR/F launch, it was released not at their normal annual launch.  Surprised us....

2020 has been rough on everyone for all the known reasons.  The Cali wildfires were no joke around the Zero factory.  It got very close.   Several employees (I think it was 7 they told us) lost their personal houses, and they had to evacuate the factory several times. Cali was on lockdown a long time for COVID too.  Supply chains all messed up, shipping a mess, lots of the World still on lockdown, and many parts are sourced globally.   All the new stuff they'd been working on got delayed.

The very good news is sales are rocking across the whole MC industry.  Many of those customers are looking for EVs now too.   We had another record year with Zero.  Energica too. 

EV side note -- We get our first shipment of Stealth E-bikes from Australia in a couple weeks.   With up to 6200W, its sort of a lightweight e-motorcycle plus 1 human power.  If those go well, we'll add a more std e-bike line too.  We are big fans of EV here.  The EV tech is there to be real usable machines, they are really good now, and it's only getting better.  We keep a 2011 Zero around just to show people the EV motorcycle progression in less than a decade.
