Energica of New England Handlebar Risers
In what is a first for AMD ( and for our sister magazine International Dealer News ), we present the first accessories we have shown for the Italian made Energica electric performance motorcycle range - the EGO sports bike , the EVA Ribelle Naked and the Experia - the world ' s first zero-emission electric Touring motorcycle . The designs were sent to us by Rob ' s Dyno Service ( RDS - Gardener , MA ), also known as Energica of New England . The man behind both businesses is well known performance engineer Rob Swartz , and at a time when performance specialists of all platforms are looking for ' adjacent ' market opportunities , it is reassuring to know that the EV revolution can be a revenue stream for the shops that populate the V-twin market . Regardless of what the long-term future folds for electrification , it is a drama that will play out way above our pay grade and regardless of what we may think about it . Meanwhile , not only can authorized and independent shops engage with the front end of the EV space by selling new models , and what a range of choice , price-points and platforms there are , but while it will have some obvious major differences , some aspects of the service , performance and custom sector are not so different and are a violin just waiting to be picked up and played - in the electric world there will still be life after stock . Manufactured by Helibars of Cornish , Maine , for several Energica models , these Tour Performance handlebar riser adapters are designed and sold exclusively by Energica of New England . These risers are installed beneath the stock bars to
raise and move them toward the rider , and , for the Energica EGO , Tracstar handlebars are specially designed with a built-in offset . All original cables and hydraulic lines are retained and hardware is included ; they fit all years and are 1 1 / 8 taller , with 1 1 / 8 rear offset , also with handlebar set at a 45-degree angle . Experia Tour Performance handlebar risers are 1 1 / 28 taller , with handlebar set at a 45-degree angle . For the Energica EGO , Helibars TracStar handlebar risers will bring the handlebars back and up to increase rider comfort , while retaining excellent handling characteristics and feedback . All hardware and bar end weights are included ; they result in 1 " taller with 1 1 / 2 " rear offset and 1 " wider .
