I hope Marc can get on the Energica rhythm by doing an actual balance often enough. The start of the Experia in the new series isn't looking good though, where he's only charging fast to a % he needs instead of actually caring for the pack.

This video about the battery itself is very promising. Of course you can promise all day long and not deliver like Damon/Lightning. The delivery of the verge bikes with all solid state packs at about 84kg(calculating the 33.3kwh and 400wh/kg). It feels too close to delivery for them to over promising to the extent as others. I fully expect the 200kw charge rate for only a few seconds like car EV charging, I also expect it to be a realistic 150-200mi freeway range which would be the real gamechanger. What sucks is that they still have the 3kw AC onboard charger. There's barely a pillion sliver of a seat. The bike is pretty much completely controlled by a touchscreen which is not great in the rain. There's no storage options currently besides a tiny area under the seat. The software is super early stage while it looks prototype fancy. I test rode the EU test bike at their santa Clara location about 2 months ago.

I truly feel like this could be a massive change in the industry, but also there will be lots of defective batteries until some processes could be figured out as this feels rushed out. I truly wish I could invest in donut labs for making all this happen even while being weighed down by an expensive sister company(verge motorcycles). BTW, can we get a Verge motorcycles sub-forum in the makes section here?

It’s definitely sad. I don’t see anyone else equaling the Experia (or even trying in that segment) for several years, especially if we’re indeed in a broader recession with less investment in R&D for the next couple of years. As I’ve pointed out in other threads, I think the industry is just in an awkward place for e-moto research. The companies who are interested are already running their own electric prototype programs or testing the waters with electric bikes, and the ones that aren’t, well, aren’t.

I was thinking the same thing. The R&D is lacking with anyone but Zero who hasn't developed into CCS yet. I'm really sad about the whole thing and I want to see if there's any way I could get the usb harness, the diagnostic software, and the full service manuals as they don't have anything they need to really keep secret any more for competitive reasons.

I've experienced several "Charger Fault" errors when using the mode button to stop a charge session. Usually it goes away when I key the bike off and then on again, but I didn't know if that was normal.

I always have this little fear in the back of my mind that I'm going to stop the charge and the charger will brick the bike.

I've seen this where Energica just don't like the charge session being stopped by the charger for whatever reason.

I believe clean mode unlocks the cleaner dash screen to the left of the default.
It's a acquired taste, I don't like the small battery icon myself.

Picking mine up on Tuesday after work, I can't wait!! I've got VIN 40!

VIN #40..!!?? Or is it #140..??  I believe they're up into the mid 100's now....Mine is #029 and I got mine back in mid February. There was a chap on the bookface group who had not long ago taken delivery of VIN #120.

Smithy.

I'll look at the bike tomorrow to check, if it isn't 040 then the DMV has the wrong number.

Pro Italia.  My Experia is in CA, getting final inspection/assembly/etc.  It should be getting shipped to me very soon.  So close   Have you heard anything?

From what dealer? I hope they shipped more than 3! I'm definitely getting one of those.

Big news, a shipment of Experias arrived at South City and they're being assembled! Looking forward to mine in a week to two when they're done!
