Energica / Re: So whats the story
« on: June 11, 2026, 09:54:36 PM »
Can Energica owners collectively sue the entity that holds assets and IP regarding VCU firmware support to surrender a computer application to upload from existing VCU, save for future need and download to VCU when a hardware replacement is required?  Seems this would not infringe on IP and as consumers we would be given opportunity to preserve our investments.  Just wondering...reality is the answer is, no.

UPDATE.
Power Supply Unit replaced with upgraded one as well as new bus bars!! Battery was removed for the bus bar replacement

Bravo FlyMig for the DIY effort...you should be proud of the good results.

Can you share part sourcing info regarding the service replaced items, was it a turn-key PSU or repair?

What about firmware reflash?  Who supports this and where are they located?

I think the results are excellent...as long no torsional load is applied to engine casing ears it will be a winner...thanks for sharing.

Center stand looks great, can you give us a better picture on where it hard mounts to?

If motor casing then be careful use forward / reverse motion only and refrain from spinning bike once on the stand will snap them ears off...but you knew this already.

I have the exact same problem with my 2022 Eva Ribelle...  I got to 37k miles and the immobilizer started tripping randomly, then after a few months it never powered up again.  No heartbeat, no response to charger, nothing.  Checked all fuses (including the glass cylinder fuse). 

At a loss.

Where do you live NE, SE, SW, NW ?

Interesting that the new Ribelle models are detuned from 169HP to 147HP, so seemingly there's a marketing element at play resulting in engineering tweaks.

Good signals to explain Energica's slow come-back...the website says "Built in Modena" however, which is suspect.

The fix is easy.

DC-DC converter brick can be replaced without disconnecting hard-wired conductors on front side, one needs powered solder sucker tool otherwise it's fine to remove conductors.

In either case, the high-voltage needs to be removed by disconnecting main fuse...there's no fuse inside the brick and no fuse on PCB because one can see the silkscreened connector footprint for incoming power...cannot make fuse sensitive enough @ 300V 1.85A draw for 50A when nominal load is a fraction of that.  The belly plate on battery pack needs to be removed to access main fuse, deductive reasoning not first hand knowledge.

The (7-13VDC) Aux power is sourced directly from DC-DC converter brick, at minimum this should be verified w/ DVM, see attachment layout for visual aid.  If memory serves, application notes state that Aux output is only 20mA which feeds the 315mA fuse.

Digikey will source a CFB600-300S12N replacement, let me know and I will contact them since I do regular business with them, it will likely be several weeks lead-time as none on-hand from factory at this time. $260 is standard cost.  Add 45% tariff and 10% dick brain tax on top of that and it's still worth it.

OP - what is the state of charge on battery?  I thought if keep-alive voltage drops out the bike will not wake up but not sure regarding charger circuit.

Here to help if we can.

Me thinks it's fruitless to support the Ego, Eva series for further development...they are EV relics first launched in 2014...the new Energica owners should isolate this business unit and sell it or operate it for services only to support existing owners...Experia has hope as a baseline offering...place initial development efforts towards making a decent integrated center-stand and debugging software glitches and expand on active cooling maybe...stay focused on single motorbike objective / platform versus wasting resources in too many directions as was the case previously...EV interest has lost traction in the USA not sure about anywhere else.

Happy with my Eva.
Glad I have ICE bikes too.
This old goat ain't planning for any more bikes...particularly anything new.

Thoughts and Insights after 100,000 km

•   Bike overheats during spirited riding probably due to increased internal resistance. Battery symbol turns red, but quickly gets yellow again after some seconds without throttle. Seems to get more serious since last year.


I don't think this is a cell degradation issue which can be verified by monitoring cell balance disparity (cell voltage delta) found in engineering screen (capture value while under load) sounds like contact resistance hence local heating at buss bar from loose cell tab fasteners maybe...the other symptom to look for if indeed this is excessive cell internal resistance is limp mode activation...if cells balance you should be able to get to 1% SOC before limp mode activates again at modest throttle input surface street load...

Anyway, 100k km on an Energica makes you a super_user, congrats and thanks for the excellent report!

Energica / Re: Experia - Mark Travels
« on: March 02, 2026, 09:28:16 AM »
In today's Mark Travels segment, Mark went skiing, the only Experia content was Mark's renewed awareness towards balancing pack thru AC charging and some sort of issue with flakey range estimate being displayed.

Wondering if other Energica riders are having same issue...this has never been a problem with my '21 Ribelle e.g. range estimates based on current ride mode are typically accurate @ 1.0-1.5% SOC / mile...I will get 100-miles worse case (typical highway mode does not exceed 70_mph_gps) versus 150-miles best case (typical city mode which is 35-40mph inclusive of some stop-n-go).

For reference.

https://pub-fee113bb711e441db5c353d2d31abbb3.r2.dev/VTT_CR_00092_26.pdf

The charge rate is impressive and thermal tolerance even more so.

The MissGoElectric video was informative too.

Hi Aaron, I understand what you are saying and functionally you're correct but typically there's a discrete discharge shunt (not necessarily a resistor but can be semiconductor) assigned to each BMS channel...in the Energica case each channel connects to (2) cells in parallel as best as I can tell from module images posted on a different thread in this forum.

Anyway, the charge / balance cycle time-out is somewhat of a mystery to me too and I'm guessing it's safety compliance for software to terminate orderly...like a watchdog requirement?

BTW Aaron...don't you possess a 21.5k_Whr pack that was salvaged and available to experiment / explore?

Be interesting to know what BMS controller chip is used or the pat number...advance apologies if confused...

The only way to fill a cell to capacity is to slow down the charge, the terminal voltage will drop proportionally so it matters significantly when SOC rises otherwise capacity falls short...balance starts when the first cell hits 4.2V and as was stated, this is a BMS function inclusive of dissipating the excess by discharging the cell(s) that have reached full capacity. DC charge stations exist to make money on the basis of energy delivery not time connected...leave the burden of balance to BMS it will select the correct charge rate which in our case is fixed at 4-amps when one charges by AC.

Amazing how he did a full nights AC charge and suddenly the bike was working so much better. That's not going to fix it, I reckon he'll need to do multiple of them. He said it didn't balance after he left the garage but I'm assuming the Experia cuts out after an hour of balancing so it's just a matter of patience which he doesn't really have.

The problem with this bike likely isn't him. The short amount of time he's had it you couldn't screw it up that bad, the previous owner and the shop that sold it to him did not understand this machine, did not take proper care of it, and did not know how to prepare it for sale properly and he's doing it no favours.

Well said...if Mark had a grip on the iterative steps needed to get battery back to balance and subsequent periodic need to charge fully on AC, he would not be experiencing such woes.  Having a weak cell top out @ 4.2V when SOC is 76% is not good...having a weak cell top out @ 4.2V when SOC is 96% is desired IMO to allow balance on single charge cycle...below 90% means AC charging is deficient and it will take several charge cycles to recover.  Not sure about any detrimental effects to recharging immediately after a charge is complete...it is good practice to monitor when balance begins to gage progress on cell recovery hence need to burn off say 10% helps before a recharge cycle is initiated, but this requires patience.  Changing out the pack is too drastic at this time but makes for good YouTube footage and likely the driver in Mark's head right now but it won't solve his issues...'cept what aaron alluded to...in Africa AC versus DC may be more plentiful which will save his journey.
