Vanderbijlpark-based Electronia is selling Energica electric superbikes in South Africa. The Modena (Italy)–based Energica is also the sole manufacturer in the Moto E Championship. Electronia is bringing the 21.5 kWh Energica EGO+, EVA RIBELLE, and the EVA ESSEESSE9+ models to South Africa initially, but plans to open up sales in other African countries soon.
The Energica website says, “Energica motorcycles use a high-energy lithium polymer (Li-NMC) battery, contained in sealed housing holding battery cells, the Battery Management System (BMS) has all the necessary provisions to ensure the safety of the vehicle. The battery keeps all high-voltage components encapsulated, making it unlikely to accidentally be exposed to risk.”
The 21.5 kWh battery packs give ranges of about 400 km in city driving and 230 km in combined highway and city driving cycles. The models come with different motor power ratings ranging from 80 kW to 107 kW, with maximum speeds limited to between 200 and 240 km/h, depending on the model. The instant torque, ranging from 200 Nm to 215 Nm, should definitely appeal to bikers and their love for the open road.
