2024 Energica EsseEsse9+RS

Motorcycle

Take the long, long way home. Beauty doesn’t have to get in the way of full-bore functionality.

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 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 three stunning colors with 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 EMCE technology this means the longest range of any electric motorcycle: 261 miles of city range, 160 miles of combined city and highway range, and 130 miles of extra urban riding. If you want even more acceleration, select the RS Version.

The EMCE motor and inverter is standard for both versions and rounds out a relaxed, refined, easy to ride, and very, very beautiful motorcycle – yet loaded with power. Classic Italian Style.

EMCE Motor

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.

TYPE

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

WEIGHT

Engine and inverter are 22 lb. lighter than our previous design, despite providing better thermal efficiency and more power, reducing EsseEsse9+ weight to 573 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 107 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 6,000 miles. No longer. Transmission oil changes are now only every 18,600 miles and Motor/Inverter coolant every 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.

Classic Design with an electric beating heart

EsseEsse9+ is a bike out of time. With a retro style yet thoroughly futuristic innovation, EsseEsse9+ gives riders the best of both worlds.

Two charging options supplied as standard

Energica motorcycles can be recharged outdoors at public charging stations or at home. Thanks to the Slow Charge Mode 2 or 3, you can recharge 0.66 miles every minute. The Fast Charge DCFC Mode 4 mode, on the other hand, charges Energica motorcycles 4.16 miles every minute – more quickly than any other electric motorcycle on the planet.

High technology with ease of riding

The EsseEsse9+ is the result of over 10 years of 360° innovation in the world of two-wheeled electric. We design not only for the track, but for the real-road conditions of everyday riding. Our objective is to make electric a genuinely practical and enjoyable alternative to the typical IC experience.
