Bologna , Italy based electric performance motorcycle manufacturer Energica Motor Company has announced 2022 turnover estimates which show unit sales up approximately + 52 % and motorcycle revenues + 67 % compared to the same period of 2021 . The company says it has also seen " a very substantial increase in pre-sale orders across the product range , especially for the new Experia sporttourer ". Livia Cevolini , CEO of Energica Motor Company , said : " Thanks to the great work and significant investments made with the support of our main shareholder Ideanomics ( NASDAQ : IDEX ), all the indicators show Energica to be among the EV market leaders . " This significant increase was achieved courtesy of the great feedback received in the first half of the year with the

launch of the new model Experia , the world ' s first purpose-built electric touring bike , which is rewriting the rules of two-wheeled electric mobility . " Our range of vehicles are recognised both by our customers and by other companies as the best in terms of reliability , therefore the products to ' beat ' for our competitors . The Energica team has a unique know-how in extremely complex electric automotive engineering , enabling all high-voltage battery engineering to be performed in-house . " Software , firmware , hardware and style engineering are also conducted in-house . These are precisely the reasons why Energica owners choose our products and why other EV companies are relying on us for their innovative projects through Energica inside ." Energica says that it now has some 135

dealers and sales points of all kinds worldwide . In 2022 Energica added 33 new outlets in EMEA and Asia Pacific and 15 in the U . S . The first batch of Energica motorcycles will reach the Japanese and Australian markets in Q1 2023 . " Despite the very challenging global business environment , our strong and consistent growth trend reflects the sustainable scale of electrification in both the automotive and motorcycle markets . The demand for the Experia touring model is particularly strong in

the EMEA , where over 80 % of new orders have come from ". The strong order book received from the sales network and from pre-sale customers , up 70 % from the year before , has also highlighted the need for expanding the Soliera facility of the Italian manufacturer . The company has recently doubled the headquarters footprint , as well as investing in automation , and scaling an adjoining building into the existing facilities to expand and accelerate the manufacturing process .

Davinci ' s DC100 electric superbike has been making waves in its Chinese homeland for a couple of years , but it made its European debut at EICMA last November and reached the North American market with an appearance at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January . While other electric bikes tend to mimic the look of conventional , combustion engine models , the DC100 revels in its different approach , with tessellating bodywork that gives an origami look , like a 3D model made with a low polygon count . Under that angular skin , the DC100 hides a 17.7 kWh battery pack that also serves as the bike ' s main chassis structure , in line with the latest trends in electric

bike design , feeding a 100 kW ( 135 hp ) electric motor that manages an impressive 627 lb-ft of torque ( 850 Nm ). Davinci claims a 0-62 mph ( 0- 100 kmh ) time of three seconds and a top speed of 124 mph ( 200 kmh ). With so much torque on tap from the moment you open the throttle , the 240-section rear tyre isn ' t overkill , although the huge single-sided swingarm probably doesn ' t need to be quite so bulky , and no doubt contributes to the DC100 ' s slightly hefty 255 kg mass . It ' s supported by a Bitubo monoshock , with matching forks at the front , while the radial brakes are supplied by Brembo . Performance isn ' t Davinci ' s only selling point . The company also talks

up the DC100 ' s rider-assist technology . Combined brakes - there ' s just one lever and no foot controls - are assisted by cornering ABS and there ' s a suite of electronics including hill start assist , lean-sensitive traction control , regenerative charging for the battery and hill descent control . The DC100 will even travel backwards at up to 5 kmh to help park . Instead of a TFT dashboard like most rivals , the Davinci uses the rider ' s own mobile phone , held in an adjustable bracket , as both its key and its instrument panel , and the company promises over-the-air updates for the bike ' s technology , claiming that future developments will include auto-parking and even the ability to self-balance for an

autonomous riding mode . European prices start at € 26,000 , while US customers will pay $ 27,500 , with deliveries scheduled to start in mid-2023 .
