In a handful of weeks, the International Motorbike Exhibition (IMOT) will be up and running – and 2023’s offering will apparently feature the masterminds behind the world’s most powerful and advanced electric motorcycle: Energica

“​​For the first time ever, Energica will attend Munich’s prestigious motorcycle show, which takes place in a key market for the company’s commercial growth,” lauds the press release.

Bikes present for the gander will purportedly include Energica’s 2023 models, including the Experia (in Flame White), Energica EsseEsse9+ RS (in a snappy Riviera Green),  Energica Eva Ribelle RS (in Tricolore) and Energica’s Experia Patrol Bike – all in the spotlight to further their attraction toward Germany’s markets. 

“Germany is the European country with the biggest growth, both in terms of sales and new dealers,” comments Giacomo Leone, Energica’s Sales Director ROW. 

“This area has a strong belief in electric mobility and we are proud to be part of IMOT for the first time.”

The partnership getting Energica bikes into Germany is none other than Electric Horses – a Bavaria-based dealer tasked with importing the bikes into the country, on top of helping out with future fairs and events in the local area. 

With Energica as a whole celebrating a +52% sales spike and a nice +67% in revenue, we’re expecting big things in the coming years.

  1. I REALLY WANTED the Energica Experia to be the bike I’d buy. But after learning from the rep here in the Bay Area that they didn’t install a 6.2kW charger into the bike because it would not fit and the heat generated was too much combined with the DC to DC fast charger, it became a no-go for me. Here in California, there are many more level 2 chargers than level 3, outside of Tesla stations. And one of the men who commented on my purchase of a 2022 Ducati Multistrada stated that he had purchased the Experia and has found he only has a 25% success rate of fast charging here! IN THE BAY AREA. He only has 200 miles because he’s afraid he won’t find working DC to DC chargers based on the number of failures he’s experienced. Until the infrastructure matures, I feel that EV 2-wheelers, at least those that travel along highways will suffer. I sold my Zero DSR because of the immature infrastructure. And how to handle the aerodynamics of our human shapes is a whole different issue. As speed increases the drag increases exponentially. My sport bike riding days are long past me. Crouching to gain mileage isn’t my cup of tea now.

    1. Dude, that’s actually super helpful info. We have lots of riders in that area that have questions about electric bikes and charging opportunities, so I’ve archived this blurb to pull out later.

      Very cool but also, yes, superbly annoying.

      1. When I rode down to Santa Cruz and stopped at a New Leaf grocery store level 2 charger, it was a shared ChargePoint unit, 3.1kW. My DSR told me it would take 5 hours to charge up to 80% from 15%, so I rode to a different station at a Palo Alto medical clinic with the 6.2kW charger. I can only imagine how long it would have taken me to charge the Experia at 3.1kW. I’m not bashing Experia or Zero, just the immature infrastructure right now. Most just charge at home, but it’s a whole different story for those who want to charge on the road. Watch NewZeroLand’s YouTube videos about him and his wife who decided to take a trip with their Energicas. They ended up taking one Energica and a Yamaha R3 ICE bike and were glad they did.

        As more and more EVs hit the road, imagine going to a Costco gas station where tons of people are lined up for fuel. It only takes 8 minutes to fill up a car or SUV, so imagine the same amount of people at a non-Tesla EV charging station taking 30 to 40 minutes to fill up. I imagine this is the very same issue that ICE vehicles encountered before a well-established infrastructure existed for gas stations.
