Energica Ego 2015 Electcric superbike

ENERGICA EGO

Electric Satisfaction

The world’s first all-electric superbike bred from the heartland of Italian racing legend. The Energica EGO.
Designed and built by the same people who have designed and engineered racing performance from Formula One Racing to Le Mans 24h for over 40 years.

Massive Performance, no emissions.

At the heart of this thoroughbred is an electric motor which produces an astounding 195 Nm torque from 0 RPM to redline, an electronically limited 150 Mph (240 km/h) and a 0 – 100 time of under 3 seconds. All on just pennies’ worth of energy.

Top of the line racing components, onboard chargers, and a range of approximately 120 miles of real world riding, with a phase 4 DC charge to 85% in just 30 minutes.

Designed, engineered, and crafted by hand in Modena, Italy.

ELECTRONICS
Power electronics water cooled
Vehicle Control UnitA Vehicle Control Unit implementing a multi-map adaptive energy and power management algorithm manages the vehicle. During drive, system carefully monitors and adjusts 100 times per second the motor’s power, starting from; throttle command; chosen engine map; battery status and speed. System also handles regenerative engine braking and regenerative electrical brake, interfacing with the ABS unit. This allows for a superb efficiency in battery energy management and a great drive performance and experience. It constantly monitors batteries, even in key off position in order to ensure battery protection even in long winter storage. Vehicle Control Unit is based on a redundant architecture in order to grant the state of the art of safety and performance.
CONNECTIVITY
The vehicle is equipped with a communication platform based on the  Bluetooth and UMTS / GPRS Standards .
The vehicle is able to offer “short  range” and “long range” connectivity services. In particular:
- Short Range Connetivity: Bluetooth 3.0 Module, range 100m;
- Long Range Connetivity: LTE/ UMTS/GPRS Module, SMS, TCP/IP, FTP, SOCKET, HTTP Comunications (optional)
CHARGER

This data sheet is provided for reference only. CRP Racing reserves the right to substitute or change components.

This superbike made by CRP is equipped with a synchronous electric motor with permanent magnets, oil cooled and 100Kw of power and torque of 195Nm from 0 rpm to 4700 rpm.
Top speed is 240 Km/h.

The braking system is by Brembo and the ABS system is by Bosch. The ABS system is standard equipment and is a year in advance of the upcoming EU regulations for mandatory ABS. Energica EGO will provide an advanced ABS system on its release date.

Energica EGO is equipped with a Vehicle Control Unit and an innovative multi-map system for energy management. It is the “brain” of our electric motorbike. The VCU is mounted with two microprocessors to guarantee reliability, safety, and performance. The system is able to release maximum power at any time assuring full battery performance during the whole life cycle of the vehicle’s charge.
The control unit manages the regenerative braking system in conjunction with the ABS system. The VCU of the Energica EGO even checks battery efficiency when the vehicle is switched off.

Energica EGO has a 110-220 V on board battery charger with a cable interface on the charging station. It will also be available with a recharge inlet for the FAST CHARGE DC Combo 1 or 2 (depending on countries).

Energica EGO has a digital dashboard from COBO TFT with an active matrix of 4.3 inches and color display.

MYTHS

The electric motorcycle is quiet!
FALSE. The sound of the Energica EGO is a roar of power that will astonish you! This is due to the straight cut final drive gears similar to the drive train of an F1 car.

Can the Energica EGO go fast even without the gearbox?
TRUE. Electric motors provide massive torque, and are direct drive with a constant smooth powerband. The electric motor enables the vehicle to obtain constant high performance from 0 rpm up to redline. The speed from 0 to 100 km/h is less than 3 sec. The absence of the gearbox also makes riding easier. It is much simpler, pure, and safer. The rider can focus their attention on the pleasures of riding with the certainty of having all the necessary power to enjoy the gradual acceleration while carving a curve. Electric car manufacturers use the same design for their electric cars. In fact, a gearbox to support 195 Nm of torque, even if only 2 gears, would lead to an increase of weight, but also would lead to problems of proportions, which on a motorcycle are very restrictive. In addition, a misuse of the gearbox by the user may result in worse consumption (a person who “pulls the gears” consumes much more energy than a motorcycle without a gearbox).

The excitement of changing gears and feathering the clutch is gone and the lack of a transmission can reduce the excitement and passion of the rider
FALSE. It is hard to compare electric vehicles with the gas-burners. The internal combustion engine (ICE) achieves torque on a gradual curve that requires higher revolutions to obtain maximum performance. However, the electric motor behaves differently and will surprise you if you have only experienced ICE power. Maximum torque, the power transmitted from the wheel to the ground, is 100% from 0 to 5000rpm. In addition, with no transmission gears, clutch, or shifting, the process of searching for the “right gear” and RPM is eliminated, allowing for full concentration on braking, cornering, and acceleration. The excitement of riding an electric motorcycle is more than just power. It’s less work and instantly feeling the torque of the motor.

What about the range of Energica?
The range depends on its use, just like any type of vehicle. You’ll get about 150 km range with an average speed of 80 km/h, and 190/200 km with an average speed of 60 km/h (street circuit). On the  racetrack, you’ll get about 50 km range with an average speed of 100 km/h, but, of course, the Energica Ego is a streetbike not a racebike.

It takes too long to recharge the batteries!
FALSE. Energica EGO has a battery charging system of 110-220 V with a cable interface on the electric column. It will also be available with a recharge inlet for the FAST CHARGE DC Combo 2. So in AC charging (alternating current, such as at home) Energica recharges from 0 to 100% in about 3.5 h, while in DC charging from 0 to 85% in less than 30 min.

What about the charging stations? Where can I find them?
Enel is implementing a strong disclosure policy on sustainable mobility, and is installing its charging stations all over the Italian territory. You can find a map of all the columns at this link. The rest of the world is working hard to expand the charging infrastructure Alternative Fuels Data Center – Open Charge Map – Plugshare.com

And the batteries? How long do they last? Do they create pollution and how can they be recycled? Is it possible to give them a second life?
TRUE. We are working on the Second Life battery project. Even on a solution that will enable people to rent/lease the battery. In this case, for a small monthly fee you will have your battery replaced after a period of time and your vehicle will be as new!

Are you creating a naked version? What will be the price of Energica Ego?

TRUE/FALSE. Currently Energica EGO will be available in Matte Pearl White and Matte Black. The price is not fixed yet. It will depend on the battery’s price fluctuations on the market in 2014. We hope to remain between 22,000 to 25,000 € (25,000 to 28,000 $ + taxes) + VAT. Energica Ego will be available for purchase in 2015. The price will depend also on state laws and the incentives that there will be at that time. For the naked version … we will see…?
