The Energica Eva EsseEsse9 has been showcased at the
2018 CES in Las Vegas, USA.
The Energica Eva EsseEsse9 is the third model of the
Italian electric motorcycle company. The bike made its world premiere at 2017
EICMA show in its final version. It is also the brand’s first “old-school”
electric motorcycle.
The bike’s name is inspired by the real name of Via
Emilia, a historic road crossing of the Italian Motor Valley. The motorcycle
features a classic design, developed in-house. The bike gets a classic
soft-touch seat, and full-LED headlight with DRL.
The instrument cluster is a 4.3-inch TFT display
with internal memory for data logging, integrated GPS receiver, and Bluetooth
communication. It can also be connected with MYEnergica app. Powering the bike
is a 11.7 kWh lithium polymer battery with a life cycle of 1200 cycles at 80%
capacity.
It takes half an hour to charge till 85% via fast charger (Mode 4),
and 3.5 hours to fully charge in Mode 2 or 3. The electric motor is of
permanent magnet AC type with oil cooling. The motor is good for 108.7 PS of
power and 180 Nm of torque. The combined range stands at 150 km. There are also
four riding Modes: Urban, Eco, Rain, Sport, and four regenerative maps: Low,
Medium, High, Off.
The 17-inch cast aluminium wheels are shod with
Pirelli Phantom tyres. Suspension components include 43 mm Marzocchi front fork
with adjustable rebound, compression damping and spring preload. The rear uses Bitubo monoshock with
adjustable rebound and spring preload. Brakes include dual 330 mm Brembo discs
at the front and a 240 mm Brembo disc at the rear. The price of the Energica
Eva EsseEsse9 starts from 21,600 Euros. It is unlikely that
the bike will make it to our shores.
