The world’s first “classic” retro-styled electric motorcycle is also supremely practical
 

TAKE THE LONG, LONG WAY HOME.
Beauty doesn’t have to get in the way of practicality.

You might say that the Italian tradition of combining beautiful design with practical engineering goes back a long, long way, even to ancient Roman times. Yet this beauty is thoroughly modern, in fact, ground-breaking. New for 2022 we give you three stunning new colors but keep the anodized headlamps that have already made the EsseEsse9 an instant classic.

The Energica EsseEsse9+ shares the technology and sophistication of the EGO+ and the EVA Ribelle but is made more suitable for casual riding without the demanding hyper-performance of the other two models. The retro-style bench seat and relaxed riding position make the EsseEsse9+ ideal for two-up riding and it’s the preferred choice for long-distance electric wanderers the world over.

Like all our motorcycles, the EsseEsse9+ has an exclusive feature: all three charging options – Slow Charge Mode 2 or 3 and DC Fast Charge Mode 4, all provided as standard. With our new EMCE technology this means the longest range of any electric motorcycle: 420 km (261 miles) of city range, 246 km (153 miles) of combined city and highway range, and 198 km (123 miles) of extra urban riding. If you want even more acceleration, select the RS Version.

POWER: 80 kW – 109 Hp
TORQUE: 200 Nm – 148 lb-ft
TOP SPEED: 200 km/h – 125 mph
ACCELERATION: 0-100 kmh – 0-60 mph 2.8 sec.
RANGE: 420 km – 261 miles City / 246 km – 153 miles Combined / 198 km – 123 miles Extra Urban

The choice of long-distance electric riders everywhere yet loaded with the classic Italian style and refinement that you’d happily ride from café to café.

The Energica EsseEsse9 is powered by an internally oil-cooled, permanent magnet AC electric motor delivering 180 Nm (133 lb-ft) with our patented 13.4 kWh air-cooled battery with vertical cooling channel.
The unique design ensures that top speed can be sustained without any loss of power, and without the heat that makes summer riding on typical IC bikes so uncomfortable.
 

TYPE

HSM (Hybrid Synchronous Motor) Liquid-Cooled 3-Phase – 300 V – 12,000 rpm with Adaptive Control Inverter

Energica unveils the new EMCE Motor and Inverter, a significant step forward in electric propulsion for motorcycles. EMCE is a wholly new HSM motor and inverter exclusively co-engineered by Energica and Mavel.
Motor and inverter now share a liquid-cooling system, resulting in a simpler and more effective design with reduced size and greater thermal efficiency. Riders will really appreciate the benefits: lighter weight and a lower center of gravity for enhanced agility; higher peak performance; increased range especially at higher speeds; and substantially reduced maintenance intervals.

EMCE = ENERGICA – MAVEL CO-ENGINEERED MOTOR & INVERTER

ADAPTIVE CONTROL

Because motor and inverter are developed in tandem, the inverter can provide Adaptive Control.
This means it is able to select the right control parameters as they vary: the torque required by the vehicle, the engine speed, the operating mode of the system, the temperature and other factors that identify the operating status of the powertrain. Adaptive Control ensures that the inverter can always operate the system as efficiently as possible, while extending the operating limits of the system itself.

ADAPTIVE CONTROL INVERTER

INTEGRATED DESIGN WITH SHARED COOLANT SYSTEM

WEIGHT

Engine and inverter are 10 kg (22 lb.) lighter than our previous design, despite providing better thermal efficiency and more power, reducing EsseEsse9+ weight to 256 kg (564.4 lbs.). Handling for the motorcycle is enhanced as the smaller size also ensures a lower inertia of the motor.

POWER

Continuous power delivered by the motor is the same as before at 109 Hp / 80 kW. Together with the increased acceleration of the RS Version you have equal performance to any other brand of electric motorcycle on public roads.

RANGE

Weight reduction improves range for any speed, but the real benefit is increased range at higher highway speeds thanks to greater thermal efficiency that brings lower working temperatures for the new EMCE motor. Range therefore increases from 5% to 10% according to riding style. Good news for long-distance commuters!

MAINTENANCE

Fewer moving parts means less maintenance is needed than for traditional IC bikes. Our current transmission/motor oil change interval is every 10,000 km/6,000 miles. No longer. Transmission oil changes are now only every 30,000 km/18,600 miles and Motor/Inverter coolant every 45,000 km/28,000 miles. Ride and forget.

WHO IS MAVEL?

Energica chose Mavel to collaborate with for the technical engineering and design of the new EMCE Motor and Inverter because of the wealth of experience of this renowned Italian company in creating and manufacturing electric powertrains of all sizes and applications. It didn’t hurt that Mavel is based in an old hydro-electric power plant in the rugged Valle D’Aosta near the Swiss-Italian Alps just three hours north of Modena with truly stunning motorcycle roads everywhere in their vicinity.
