Energica is returning to the electric motorcycle market after its operations stopped in 2024. The restart was presented in Milan on November 4 during EICMA week, together with a revised industrial plan: motorcycle production is moving to Asia, while design, engineering, research and development remain in Italy. The Experia will lead the return, with the Ego, Eva Ribelle and EsseEsse9 following in stages.

The 2024 shutdown followed financial difficulties and judicial liquidation. Energica now operates under Energica Pte. Ltd., a Singapore-based company backed by international private investors. Shivangi Bagri, as interim chief executive officer, is leading the transition. Italy retains the technical core behind the brand: Giampiero Testoni, a member of Energica’s founding team and its chief technology officer, leads design, engineering and R&D together with designer Paolo Maria Iemmi and the R&D team.

The existing range provides the starting point

The relaunch will use Energica’s existing technical platforms and technology that has already been developed and homologated. That approach is intended to shorten the route back to production rather than delay the range until an entirely new generation is ready. The Experia, the electric sport-tourer that extended the brand into touring and long-distance use, will be the first model to return. The supersport Ego, Eva Ribelle and EsseEsse9 will follow, restoring all four models to the line-up in sequence.

Keeping the current platforms is not being presented as the end of development. The next technical stage is planned to include a new battery and further work on range, efficiency, performance and, above all, reliability. Energica is also considering lighter made-to-order versions using carbon-fibre components. The return of the range therefore serves as a base for gradual product development rather than a simple repetition of the previous models.

Asian manufacturing is central to the new structure. Motorcycles will continue to be built to Energica’s specifications under the supervision of the Italian technical team, while Italy retains responsibility for design, engineering, research, development and technical and quality standards. Energica expects the leaner manufacturing model to reduce costs and allow motorcycle prices to fall by approximately 20% compared with the past.

Sales and support are being rebuilt together

The first priority markets are Europe, led by Italy, the United States and Australia. These are regions where Energica already has an established presence and an owner community. The company is rebuilding dealer and importer relationships market by market, with the aim of restoring a sales structure capable of supporting the next phase. An updated list of dealers and authorised service centres is scheduled for publication on Energica’s official website on November 15, 2026.

Asia will have two roles, serving both as the manufacturing base and as a growing market. India is specifically identified as the setting for ride-intelligence technology on other motorcycle models. For current owners, however, the immediate issue is technical support. Service has resumed, and spare-parts shipments have restarted for dealers in several countries. The Italian technical team is working directly with dealers and owners, including in areas without an authorised service centre.

Energica ReCharge is another part of that owner-focused plan. The programme is already active and is intended to give existing owners the opportunity to upgrade their motorcycles to new versions when those versions become available. The restart is therefore aimed not only at selling new motorcycles, but also at maintaining a connection with people who already use the brand’s products.

A digital layer for riding and ownership

Alongside production and after-sales support, Energica is developing the Owners’ Lounge platform. Its Community area will help riders connect, share routes and organise group rides. The tools are designed to take weather conditions, charging opportunities and participant availability into account. Collection will offer technical riding apparel, accessories and products reflecting Italian design and craftsmanship.

Garage will provide a digital space for managing Energica motorcycles and machines from other brands, supported by maintenance information and tools. Ride Intelligence will process data from each journey and turn it into analysis and recommendations intended to improve the riding experience. The device supporting the system is designed to work with Energica motorcycles already on the road as well as new models, giving existing owners a route into future developments.

That digital direction is linked to Energica’s racing background. The company’s history includes the Isle of Man and four seasons as the sole official motorcycle supplier to the FIM MotoE World Cup. This experience helped advance its high-voltage systems and DC fast-charging technology. The same technical foundation is now being connected to a wider plan covering the returning motorcycles, owner support and the data generated by everyday riding.

Energica is therefore attempting to rebuild its position through international ownership and Asian production while keeping design and technical continuity in Italy. The Experia will provide the first step back into production, with the rest of the range, the dealer network and the digital services developing alongside it.
