Energica / Re: Charging Station screen
« on: October 16, 2020, 07:32:30 PM »
Dear Gents,
I’m a happy owner of a Energica EVA Ribelle, I got it end of April 2020 just after the corona look down.
Since I have the Bike I had some trouble (break liquids on plastic tank cover (white spots) and problems with the control device (motorcycle switched in failure mode during driving and stop engine diagnostic trouble code P0120 and P0121), but Energica dealer could help me and fixed the problems.
However, with the newest problem they could not:
The bike is connect to Bluetooth, GPS (Green and Blue light are switched on) and the APP My Energica is running on my phone, but I cannot open the Charging Station screen and the symbol of found charging stations not appear.
I tried a other phone but this fix not the problem
I would be glad if anyone has an idea how to fix the little bug.

Sebastian, I too have a new Ribelle. I'd like to ask you, what was the situation with the "failure mode" and the bike shutting off? How did the dealer fix it? On your question about the App not displaying charging stations...it turned out for mine that the app settings were looking for stations supported by "green" power and here in Texas there are none so it showed nothing. Once I changed it to DCFC and Level 2 the list popped up and the arrow pointed the way. Try that out and see if it helps.

Energica / Re: Ribelle Footpeg Lowering
« on: October 08, 2020, 05:05:43 AM »
Title speaks to it.

I'm super anxious about getting my Ribelle and this is the first creature comfort thing to tackle.

The foot peg location (for me) needs to drop 35mm - 40mm based on the same fitment tweaks done to R1200RS which is the closest bike to the Energica riding position and anticipated lean angle compromise...

SS9 brackets are too far forward - looking to drop Ribelle ones straight down and wondering about getting a straight-face-view digital images of the Ribelle pegs from both sides and (2) maybe (3) reference measurements - this would represent a big-help perhaps worthy of a second set of brackets if you feel the squeeze similar to me @ 6'1" and still shrinking...5-weeks is a long time to wait.

The planned steps are to 3D print PETG carbon variants before machining T61 AL actuals.

When ordering my new Ribelle I had the same concerns as my EVA needed a handlebar raise kit and had its higher pegs which hurt my knee. The factory recommended putting on the higher SS9 bars and lower SS9 pegs to the Ribelle, we did that and my new bike is much more comfy than the EVA was and no further back or knee aches!

Energica / Re: Charging issue on a 2021 SS9+
« on: October 06, 2020, 07:45:48 PM »
How did you check the fan speed setting and adjust it? I have never seen that on the menu of my Ribelle?
If it is the same as my 2020  SS9-, it is under "Preferences-Charge-Fan limit-80% (or whatever % you want).

My new Ribelle doesn't have that on its menu, under Preferences-Charging its just SOC amount

I see you are right about the fan. Went through the menu. Fan was set at 100%, but was running at 30%. I toggled to 30 then back  To 100 and now is runs at 100%.
That did not fix the low current draw issue, and the exhausted air is not warm.

How did you check the fan speed setting and adjust it? I have never seen that on the menu of my Ribelle?

Energica / Re: Introduction and First Road Trip
« on: June 30, 2020, 05:12:27 AM »
Hey welcome fellow Texan! Ive got an EVA also from AF1 originally ands its down here in Houston. Here’s a thought for you. I just rode the twisted sisters on my MV last month and want to head back for a go at it when my new Ribelle shows up. I found some cottages that have 240 RV plugs which could likely allow a 3kw charge and hence a 70 mile ride in morning and then recharge enough for a afternoon ride, I’m itching to do with an electric bike. Have fun with your Ego!

Energica / Re: Energica owners, one more question for you:

I like the whine, although its only heard between songs as I wear AirPod pros with noise cancellation, this makes for a very peaceful ride indeed!

Energica / Re: Handlebar height differense Ribelle & EsseEsse9
« on: June 11, 2020, 04:24:37 AM »
I can give you a little input regarding raising the bar height and cable lengths. When I got my Eva I asked about buying the SS9's bar mount to raise mine up to the same height, I was told its the same mount both bikes its actually the bars themselves that are bent to establish the raise. Manufacturer's rep suggested a pair of I think Rizoma bar extensions for 1.75" saying that would make them equivalent. I asked about the cable length and was told all the extensions they've managed with owners there was no need for new cables, I found this to be the case when I did this procedure myself Hope this helps.

I’m following this as I contacted my dealer last week to ask if when I order a Ribelle could I spec in the higher bars and lower foot pegs of the SS9? I’d prefer the higher riding position of my Eva on my back.

Energica / Re: Why have you chosen Energica?
« on: May 23, 2020, 08:52:49 AM »
Well I guess it's my turn to weigh in. Last summer I was in Austin Texas where the dealer is that sells both zero and Energica., I was very intrigued with the electric bikes since I also I am a tesla owner and investor. With the Tesla experience I felt that I knew what I needed to know about charging and traveling under the charging scenarios. My bikes at that time included an MV Augusta, a Aprilia Tuano, a multi-Strada, and a Motus. You've probably noticed most of them are Italian, and you can tell I like Italian things given my screen name because I race challenge cars.  The funny thing was I went to test a zero and rode it thought it was kind of fun but then looked over and saw a brand new Motus sitting on the showroom and rode it and bought it on the spot, so much for the search for an electric bike. Oddly I was uncomfortable with the fact that my girth made riding the Eva uncomfortable and I decided to start working out and lose some weight with a goal of 60 pounds in a year. Around New Year's I saw a used Eva with 800 miles in fully decked out appear at a dealer in Austin. I drove up there on New Year's Eve and test drove the bike and having lost about 30 pounds felt very comfortable on it and was just very blown away. We made a deal and I brought it home that day and it has since completely replaced my other bikes when I come out the garage and pick what I'm going to ride for that day. I'm planning to keep this one for about a year and then upgrade to a Ribelle because to ride out to my home in the country is about 65 miles and I'd like to be able to do it without having to stop and charge. With the other Italian bikes to compare it to I am very delighted with the build quality and the absolute smooth speed which is like driving a Tesla. I feel very comfortable seated and I've had no mechanical issues with it in the 3000 miles that I've put on. Also I sent a text to their California headquarters and got a callback from the US president and later the service manager to welcome me to the family and answer all my questions. It's a little bit like being with Ferrari and being part of the family once you're in. I did test drive a LiveWire before I bought this one and I liked everything about it the build quality and the seating position were great but but the LiveWire had significant software issues that affected my ride and a couple of the other guys of the group of eight that we're all test riding with me, I concluded that they weren't ready for prime time and while I may own one in the future it will have to have a bigger battery and I'll have to feel comfortable that the software problems are shorted out. As far as zeros go I have no interest t now! For the time being I just trailer the Eva out to the country and put in a level two charger in the barn and now I'm happy as a clam out here with it.

Energica / Re: 2020 software update?
« on: April 19, 2020, 10:27:31 AM »
Update - got the new .36 update and for some reason they sent a new ECM along to swap out. The update turned into an issue because when they swapped out the module it then required every software install from factory to present be installed in order. There also was a problem the tech couldn't figure out but the US Service Mgr caught, the pins in the data harness apparently can come loose and cause the update to fail. The dealer pushed the pins all back in proper and it worked all the way through. I rode it about 60 miles today and even went to the CCS charger that never works and wow does it work now, like a Tesla Supercharger! My thanks go out to AF1 Racing the dealer who stuck with this project while locked down for the Covid!

The station has a side by side Chademop and CCS. The latter for my bike and the former for the Tesla with an adapter cable. The point to me was that the charger box works...in Chademo...so why not the CCS? You're right its probably the cable or the firmware, or a software glitch for the CCS, its at least not my account!

« on: April 12, 2020, 08:11:11 PM »
I just had some charging problems at local Houston EVGO stations and since my Tesla still works there Energica thinks it may be the factory firmware and says I should go ahead and get updated with the latest for my 2018 Eva. I assumed it was only a software update but it turns out there's a part swap required too and that had to be ordered before we could schedule the update - fortunately it was in stock at the US HQ and has been shipped to the dealer, hoping I'll have this done this week.
