2023 EVA EsseEsse 9+ / EVA EsseEsse 9+ RS
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.
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.
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.
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 full-bore functionality.
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, groundbreaking. 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: 261 miles of city range, 153 miles of combined city and highway range, and 123 miles of extra urban riding. If you want even more acceleration, select the RS Version.
The new 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.
RS VERSION
As with our other two models, the Energica EGO+ and EVA Ribelle, the RS Version is also available for the Energica EsseEsse9+.
The EsseEsse9+ RS Version has been developed with implemented Vehicle Control Unit firmware and a modified drive train to speed acceleration from a standing start all the way to the top speed. An improvement of over two-tenths of a second from 0 to 62 mph has been demonstrated with additional time saved throughout the range until 125 mph.
The existing final drive chain has been upgraded to a Regina 15/44 525 O-Ring Chain to cope with the additional acceleration. RS Decals are subtly displayed on the lower fairing to indicate that this Retro Electric is something special.
