Energica / Experia range vs speed?
« on: May 11, 2025, 09:39:44 PM »
Have any of you worked out the range of the Experia vs speed? I made a table for my DSR based on both testing and modeling, and it helps with planning if I need to slow down (and how much) to reach my destination.

Just as an example, YMMV based on the details, etc. etc.:

Energica / Re: Steel Rear Sprocket
« on: February 13, 2025, 08:15:45 PM »
All, thanks for the advice. I'll try Rob at EoNE, and failing that will likely go with SuperSprox. They've made a couple of sprockets for my DSR that have been great (maybe 2 months delivery).

It's 5.78mm wide, so I can confirm it's a 520 sprocket.

I'll run the aluminum sprocket on my street wheel, until it's worn out. The steel one will go on the spoked wheel. I'm having the front redone with a 19" rim, which leads to an interesting problem with traction control, which uses the tone wheels to compare wheel speeds. I'm told that the change in diameter can be corrected with the dealer service tool, but I want to be able to easily switch back and forth from 17 to 19". So I've designed a new tone wheel for the 19" front wheel, which has 54 teeth instead of 48, to correct for the change in diameter. Will have it laser cut soon, so we'll see how it goes. Might make the ABS interesting, or maybe not. It will give the same number of pulses per distance traveled, so maybe it'll all work out.

Speaking of changing wheels, do any of you know of a set of stands that work well with the Experia?

Energica / Steel Rear Sprocket
« on: February 12, 2025, 02:14:34 AM »
I'm setting my Experia up for ADV riding, and while I'm glad it comes with a chain drive, the rear sprocket is aluminum. Maybe that's ok on the street, but for long distance on dirt it will get chewed up quickly. More thoughts on aluminum sprockets on my Zero DSR here:

Is there an off the shelf sprocket that has steel teeth?

Thanks! Your video helped.

The picture above is from p65 of the manual, which is inaccurate. My manual is Rev. 01 - 2022. The manual says "When entering the riding profiles customization screen, focus will
be automatically activated on the “Profile” section." But the focus is not on the Profile section, and it seems there is no way to get it there. What you say to do works well enough: First select the desired custom profile from the main menu, and then enter the "Riding profiles customization screen" to adjust that one profile.

Energica / Experia custom riding profiles
« on: January 06, 2025, 01:32:30 AM »
I just bought a new Experia, and I'm having trouble with changing the custom ride profiles. When I enter the "Riding profiles customization screen", the manual says the Profile section should have focus. But it doesn't, and I haven't found a way to move the focus to the Profile section. So as it stands, I can only make adjustments to the Custom 1 profile. I've looked through the manual and searched the forum and haven't found the answer. Is there a trick to this? Is it a known bug?

Thanks!

I ordered a newer Gen 3 with the big connectors. Will try to rig up a compact way to make those connections without burning down my house.

ceejays88:
The box of parts I bought used included a little gizmo in heat shrink that connects to the CP pin and ground pin (I think). It has always worked fine so I haven't messed with it. I assume it's just a resistor inside, but maybe it has a diode, also.

Here's the result of a quick search:

You'd be interested in D, R2, R3 and S2.

Sure. This is the blanking plug that I have used on a 2021 DSR. Plugging it in allowed me to run the bike without the power tank installed. The 2 jumpers are:
5 to 13 pink
6 to 7 gray/red

Slick setup! Where did you get that cold plate?

DonTom, I can find 12 to 14kW probably 95% of the time. Most of the ChargePoints with 2 handles around here are not shared. Sometimes I use a TeslaTap for one side, then J1772 on the other. I can pull 11.5 kW from an RV site using 14-50 for the three TC chargers plus either 5-15 or TT-30 for the OEM charger.

In Labrador, at a highway maintenance depot, they didn't have any outlets other than 5-15. The mechanic there helped me run cords and find three outlets on different breakers, which let me reach 4.5 kW on just Level 1. It's about 250 miles between towns there, with literally nothing but wilderness and two depots, so it was good he was willing to help!

DonTom, I'm in the US. I can use two J1772 ports, so 14kW is pretty easy to find.

Lots of details here:

MVetter, you are correct. I have talked with Sayyed but he doesn't have any of the old style. I could completely redo my charger boxes to suit the new style TC chargers but that would be a lot of work. I have about 11.5 kW charging rate right now, with 3 x 3.3 kW TC chargers plus I put the OEM charger back on the bottom of the battery pack. So it's not some emergency, I'd just like to get back up to 14.5 kW...

If I was to go with the new style, I'd probably use two 6.6 kW ones with integral fans. But they are a lot thicker than what I have now.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Elcon / TC / Diginow charger
« on: August 25, 2023, 12:11:31 AM »
I have four Elcon TC HK-J 3300W Chargers on my Zero motorcycle, and one has failed. I would like to replace this single charger. It is from one of Diginow's kits.

It needs to be a 3rd gen one, with the removable heat sinks but no quick disconnects on the cables. The 4th gen ones won't fit into my charger boxes. Does anyone have one I could buy?

Backcountry Discovery Routes is an organization that creates off-highway routes for dual-sport and adventure motorcycle travel in the US. Recently they have partnered with Zero motorcycles, and some of their recent videos include the Zero DSR/X.

These guys rode the Colorado BDR on DSRs:

I've done the Northeast BDR, Mid-Atlantic BDR and the PA Wilds BDR/X on my DSR. The MABDR was also with my friend Ben on a LiveWire:

Do any of you know of any other BDR routes that have been ridden with electric motorcycles?

joebob2003, that password also works on a '21 DSR.
