Italian electric motorcycle brand Energica has revealed a new road-oriented adventure touring motorcycle, called the Energica Experia. The new electric sport touring machine made its debut at the Mugello MotoGP recently, and has been designed with long range and fast recharge times. Built around a completely new platform with a newly-designed electric powertrain and battery, the Energica Experia is optimised for long-range, two-up comfort with an aerodynamic sport-touring fairing, adjustable windscreens and hard luggage. According to the company, the Energica Experia has higher battery capacity, lower weight with a lower centre of gravity which allows for better low-speed rideability.
