I don't know anything about canbus BUT it makes no sense for it to be encrypted unless you're trying to do proprietary unlock keys and stuff. Most of the system should be unencrypted because it's all wired directly around the bike so the risk level is extremely low (access to hardware is basicly game over securitywise) and the overhead of encryption isn't needed. For external wireless connections you are right that encryption is entirely appropriate and desired but for wired connections between components on the bike it's just unnecessary.

Correctly stated. 

CAN Bus protocols are standardized but it's the messaging permissions that gain you entry, a safeguard but not encryption.

If Energica dealers have means to upload, save and reflash firmware then this is great news...can this be confirmed?

Thank you for encouraging caution on the Internet hopefully that all members here at Internet savvy. PDF files are not normally a problem though.  I will copy and paste the text below so that you can see what is contained and that it is genuine. The formatting has been removed but as you can see it's a good idea. I hope you find it helpful. Philip :o)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Energica Owners Unite to Form the Energica Owners Association Amid Corporate
Receivership

October 28, 2024 – In response to the recent announcement that Energica Motor Corporation is
entering receivership, Energica motorcycle owners around the world have come together to form
the Energica Owners Association (EOA). This new group is focused on representing the interests
of current and future Energica owners as the company’s assets face potential sale under an Italian
court’s direction.

The EOA’s mission is simple: To connect and empower Energica Owners worldwide, building a
community that helps owners navigate present-day challenges and advocates for the long-
term performance, reliability, and operability of our motorcycles.
As Energica owners, we are committed to preserving the legacy of our motorcycles and ensuring we
can continue to maintain, operate, and enjoy these revolutionary vehicles for years to come.

Key Advocacy Areas:

* Access to Parts: Maintain fair market access to parts for ongoing maintenance and repairs.
* Software Availability: Gain and keep access to critical diagnostic software, software
updates, and resources needed for ongoing upkeep and performance.
* Technical Knowledge: Gain and keep access to critical technical and service knowledge
and documentation required for ongoing maintenance.
* Technical Stability: Ensure availability to updates and patches to prevent system failures,
support changing charging standards, and prevent battery & performance degradation.
If Energica’s ongoing support cannot continue, the EOA will pursue non-commercial rights to all
technical knowledge and software (including source code) necessary to maintain and support
these motorcycles independently.
The EOA will work to support any sale of Energica’s assets that:
* Preserves access to parts, software, and documentation.
* Provides for service platforms needed for diagnostics and repairs.
* Protects the ability of owners to maintain and update their motorcycles independently.
The Energica Owners Association is committed to building strong, collaborative relationships with
Energica stakeholders and future asset holders. Our community believes these motorcycles
represent more than just a product; they symbolize innovation, freedom, and the promise of
sustainable electric mobility.
The Energica Owners Association is online at Energica Owners Association | Facebook

Flip, thank you for being decent.
yes you CAN imbed shit into a pdf that an unsuspecting person can click and get grief from.
Macro's  and VBS scripts can be a real issue.  Typically most people you would hope were intelligent enough  to not fall for that stuff but well.. if there weren't stupid people out there, there wouldn't be scammers now would there.

As far as that group goes, it sounds like a great idea but if the company goes tits up.  No more parts, no more support, no more upgrades, no more software etc.  best one can hope for is to get the original code somehow so that between all of use, we can figure out how to keep our bikes running when they shit themselves, and we put what parts are left in them, and have to 're marry' everything.

Again, the Italian part of the company may dissolve, but from what I am lead to believe, the US part is still alive and well and wishes to keep going .... but has to wait for all the bullshit to play through the courts before they can actually really DO anything significant.  This is what my insurance adjuster told me when he called me to discuss my bike and my 'situation'.   so keeping fingers crossed all ends up well and we won't need to worry about all this.  but still.  it's be really good to have a group for support either way.

Hey Aaron,

I wouldn't know how to put poop into a PDF I am not that cleaver haha... So yes don't worry it's completely safe n poop free made by Rick Flashman a trusted owner.

I guess the whole idea of this project is that there are a number of us and if we all put our heads together we should be able to find some solutions as between us we probably share quite a large skill set.

It's early days at the moment so for those that don't have Facebook there may be an opportunity to set up a website and a mailing list at some point in the future. I will propose that to the group and see what they say  :)

From Rick Flashman on FB:

"Some potential good news. Seems the Italian government is extended salary payments for 37 core employees for the rest of 2024, with an option to extend to 2025. The government has also urged the court trustee to speed up the search for a single buyer as to not loose the ability to make it hard for the new buyer to restart production."

I was talking to the UK distributor today to get a handle on service item availability (good) and they reckoned there's hope yet of the company coming back they seemed to understand that a bid was being made for it.

In funnier news because I can't make it over to them for a service I said I'd need to go to <local service partner> and they were like actually those guys are also bankrupt!
