Energica / Re: New Key
« on: February 06, 2026, 08:32:31 PM »
Are there no universal blank keys available? Generic Italian like ZADI branded with a chip. To be be cut by a key shop and programmed to the bike with the orange key?

Sorry to hear Chris, I hope you can still somehow be part of the new Energica again, your input on socials has always been so very helpful and correct.

« on: February 04, 2026, 01:21:16 PM »But apart from that, a non-Tesla can charge across Europe with the Tesla app. Tesla is generally a cheap alternative.Current best prices for me are 0.55 EUR/kWh with Aral Pulse and 0.56 EUR/kWh with EnBW, but only at their own chargers.
Otherwise it's around 0.80 EUR and can even rise to over 1 EUR on highly frequented Autobahn stations.
55-56 ct is a competitive price, If you have a Tesla car or subscribtion with non-Tesla, Tesla cheaper, but with the Energica I don't care that much about price tbh. I personally like Fastned with autocharge, just plug and charge.
Yes they are nice people and true bikers. Then I have seen your very nice Ribelle, they showed the pics of the encounter. My bike is currently in their shop (2nd red Ribelle) for some damage.I do love that shop in Netherlands. Wish I had something like that in Southern California.... Good to know in case if I need parts!Last year in summer I accidentially met the owners Arne and his wife. Slurped a coffee while charging my Ribelle in Meschede when suddenly there where two Experias approaching.
They are very nice people! Motor van de Toekomst has some spare parts in store and they would be happy to answer your requests.

Marc Travels has uploaded again. This time from the Netherlands: his bike is being upgraded with crash bars and his leaking suspension fixed.

Marc tried a V3 (250kW) Supercharger: these don't work for Energica. The only ones that work are the V2 150kW types, with 2 cables (for old model S before Tesla adopted CCS). However, they come with a warning that they can brick the bike in some cases. You have to disconnect the charger manager to reset the bike. Also V2 chargers are not so common in countries where Tesla has expanded the last years. But apart from that, a non-Tesla can charge across Europe with the Tesla app. Tesla is generally a cheap alternative.

Energica / Re: Steering Stiffness on Experia – Is It the Head Bearings?
« on: September 16, 2025, 03:32:24 AM »
Agree with Kradblatt. My Ohlins specialist commented on my Ribelle bearings being rough at 16 k km. My dealer also noticed and replaced them at 24k km. My dealer used correct amount of grease and mounted with TLC. Now 67k km and steering still runs so nice.
He has replaced bearings of numerous Experias: all had too little grease ( owners who clearned with foam and pressure washer had earliest complaints) and were torqued too tight or with little attention. Dutch climate also doesn’t help.

Energica / Re: Suspension and Ride Quality Adjustments
« on: September 08, 2025, 11:55:56 PM »
Thanks for the advice, I will experiment with one or two clicks first.
edit:2 clicks is already resulting in a sloppier ride, max 1 click it is.

Old topic, but based on the excellent recomendations made in this thread, I mounted OZ Piega wheels on my Ribelle RS this weekend. I did a 100km test drive yesterday. I am very pleased with the result. Goal was to have a bike that is a bit more nimble on little twisty roads in forests behind the BMW GSes of my friends, especially on bad asphalt.
Well, I can say that the bike is definitely more nimbe, there is so much more control and trust in the corners as well. Also feels 15% more snappy on the throttle and braking is also noticeably better. I did not dare using Sport mode too much, because OMG the front lifts so easily. On my commute this morning I noticed a good energy consmption, but as we all know with electric, it's very difficult to standardize circumstances.
The only thing I might have to do is adjust is the compression and rebound of the Ohlins, because I get a bit more feedback on bumps in the handlebars and rear seat than I would like. The virtual stiffness has increased. Any experience here on how much? I think I will start with one click, drive and see what it does.
Furthermore I would say that a 100% commuter or non-performance driver would not take the full advantage of OZ wheels and would benefit more from a good rear shock and maybe upgraded Marzocchi fork internals.

Energica / Re: Burnt Rear Brake Twice – Adjusting SS9 Brake Pedal?

Wasn't there a warning in the latest Firmware update for prolongued rear braking under load to avoid this issue?

Not for health stuff or HV shielding, but there is a phenomenon that Energicas tend to have more issues with CCS handshake when there are more vehicles charging around the motorcycle. I have experienced many charging isses on my September trip in a group of 5 Energicas; first arriving bike usually get's the handshake done, later connecting bikes struggle. When applied, I am curious to learn if handshake issues reduce.

Energica / Re: Michelin Road 6 on the SS9 – A Noticeable Upgrade
« on: June 27, 2025, 05:06:08 PM »@SBK74
20,000 km – calling that impressive would be a huge understatement. I didn’t even get 4,000 km out of my set of Diablo Rosso III. Interestingly, the rear tire still had more tread left than the front, despite the insane torque and riding with regen on the second-highest level. I’m genuinely curious to see how the Road 6 (non-GT) will perform over time.
I had a set of Road 6 that lasted 16,600km, then a set of 6GT that lasted 17,600km, current set 6GT is 20,600km. First 2 sets still thread left, current sent in the wear markers.

I have now 20.000 km on a pair of Michelin Road 6 GT. Now they need to be replaced (markers reached). I used to manage 14.000 km on Pirelli Angel GT (2).
The Pirellis cornered very spectacular when new (bike fell into the corner), but in the end they alwayse were annoynig to drive. The Michelins are very driveable till the end.

I Could not get my old 2018 EsseEsse9 above 74kW, filmed in July '21 (100% SOC, 26°C). Was rated 80kW. I thought I had seen 82kW a few FW versions/years earlier. That dissapointment pissed me off enough to not test my '21 Ribelle RS EMCE. I have easily seen 110 kW though.
