i feel for you stonewolf.  i just got told they are totalling my experia.
it's totally rideable but they can't find parts....  and they won't insure it anymore even IF i 'fix it up' and get a salvage title to it and re certified.

well fuck me in the billy goat ass.  so now i cant legally ride it on the road until i find someone to insure it after jumping through all those bullshit hoops... it never ends.

hopefully i can get state farm or someone to at least insure it for liability against what damage others claim and not so much the bike.
OR, maybe they announce soon they got a buyer and are back in business and parts will be available again in a few months.... sigh...

That fucking sucks man.

I'm cleaned out financially after last year and had to take a 50% pay cut just to still be in work so I couldn't really spring for a second bike but I'm hoping things pick up as I want something to keep the miles off my Ribelle now that it's a precious piece of motorcycling history.

Well,  the fat lady has not sung yet.

Energica is STILL mired up in the proceedings.  They have not officially been declared dead.

sometimes this stuff takes time.  last we heard, there was a buyer interested right?

remember, even IF they were bought up, and there is a new owner and all that happy funbag horseshit, they ALL STILL are under an NDA in accordance with the original proceedings.  This is actually a normal thing.   So even IF they had a buyer right now who did buy them out and all the stuff we pray about, they STILL CANT TALK ABOUT IT, because of that NDA, and that would apply to ANY potential suitors as well as the sellers.

Let's not write them off until the paperwork has a final stamp from a judge saying, it's done, you are gone, and demands a dissolution.
Remember they ARE still open for business in San Fran, and i would highly recommend anyone who needs work done, IF it is feasable, take it there, because that is operating money to keep them going until the crap DOES finally settle out.

If they truly were gone for good, the judge would have ordered a cease and desist for their san fran facility, as a measure to preserve as much of what value is left of the company for the creditors they have for the final sell off. (and of course to NOT be racking up even more unpaid debt!)  The fact that - THAT has not happened is actually a very good sign for those who are familiar with these type of ...situations.

Keep the faith young man and even the children.  This old fart has a feeling that something is still in the works, it has to be, otherwise they'd have shut the doors by now.

Had a chat with EEMC today to see if they could give me an update. They'd sent another customer's PSU (actually I got the impression it was just a control board from the PSU) off for repair at a third party shop and if it worked they'd be doing the same for mine. The repaired PSU for the other customer wasn't right so it's gone back for remediation but they're still hopeful it'll work out.

Hi. I did not see this thread. Sorry.

1.

I would hook up a small 12V battery or LAB PSU to the connector for the USB socket for example. If you have a car or motorbike nearby, just pull some wires. That should be able to power the whole 12V system. Then try charging it 🙂 I don't know how it reacts to 12V without the key, but if you connect to the plug right when you turn the key, then I guess it should be okay. Make sure that the voltage of the battery is not too low, because then the bike will try to charge the battery, drawing a bit too much current perhaps, which could blow the AUX fuse maybe.
I would check the battery voltage in the diagnostics screen. If it is 220 volts or more on a 333V pack you are probably fine if it allows you to charge. That will correspond to a cell voltage for 2.75V.

In your situation, I would take out the PSU ASAP so that it does not drain the battery.
Daniel Rohner might be able to fix it for you. He is located in Austria and is reachable on the Facebook group. He fixed two of mine. I have a spare now.

Just remove the front cover on the battery and check if the PSU has plugs on the bottom. If yes, you are good, if no, you have to be careful because you would need to solder off the 300V connection.
If with plugs, I can link to a video guide about how to remove the PSU. Takes 5 minutes.

My PSU has been repaired. Apparently its control board has a microcontroller of some form and the program it runs got (not sure if firmware, memory, or a straight-up FPGA) wiped or lost. There is a guy in The Netherlands who had the program and the ability to reload it.
