Experia Electric Sport Tourer Leads Energica’s Return

Following its 2024 shutdown, the Italian electric motorcycle manufacturer announces plans to resume production, reduce prices, and rebuild its U.S. dealer network.

Italian electric motorcycle manufacturer Energica has announced plans to resume production under new ownership, nearly two years after financial difficulties forced the company to cease operations in 2024. The announcement, made November 4 during EICMA 2026 week in Milan, identifies the Experia electric sport tourer as the first motorcycle scheduled to return to production.

The relaunch is being led by Energica Pte. Ltd., a Singapore-based company backed by international private investors. The ownership group plans to retain the company’s Italian engineering operations while pursuing a lower-cost manufacturing strategy.

For riders interested in electric sport touring, the return of the Experia is a noteworthy development, although production dates, pricing, and U.S. availability have yet to be confirmed.

Experia Leads the Relaunch

Introduced as Energica’s entry into the touring segment, the Experia combines electric propulsion with the wind protection, luggage capacity, and riding accommodations expected on a sport touring motorcycle.

According to Energica’s EICMA press release, the Experia will be followed by the Ego sport bike and the Eva Ribelle and EsseEsse9 naked models.

Initially, the motorcycles will retain their existing technical platforms, allowing Energica to restart production using previously developed and approved technology.

The company plans subsequent upgrades, beginning with a new battery and improvements in range, efficiency, performance, and reliability. However, Energica has not provided specifications or a timeline for these changes.

The Experia’s return is of particular interest to touring riders because battery range, charging speed, and access to reliable charging infrastructure remain important challenges for extended electric motorcycle travel.

New Manufacturing Strategy Targets Lower Prices

Under the new business structure, motorcycle manufacturing will move to Asia, while design, engineering, research and development, and technical oversight remain in Italy.

Energica says the arrangement should reduce manufacturing costs sufficiently to lower motorcycle prices by approximately 20% compared with previous levels. Actual retail prices have not been announced.

The company’s engineering operations will continue under Chief Technology Officer Giampiero Testoni, a member of Energica’s founding team.

Energica’s technical heritage includes four seasons as the exclusive motorcycle supplier to the FIM MotoE World Cup, where the company developed experience with high-performance electric powertrains and rapid charging technology.

Rebuilding U.S. Sales and Customer Support

Europe, the United States, and Australia are the initial priorities for restoring Energica’s sales and service networks.

The company says service operations have already resumed, with spare parts shipments restarting to dealers in several countries. It also plans to publish an updated list of authorized dealers and service centers on November 15, 2026.

Energica has introduced a ReCharge program intended to give existing owners an opportunity to upgrade to newer motorcycle versions as they become available.

Rebuilding dependable dealer support will be particularly important for the company’s return. For prospective buyers considering an electric motorcycle for touring, access to service and replacement parts can be as consequential as the motorcycle’s performance.

A Second Opportunity for Electric Sport Touring

Founded in Modena, Italy, Energica was among the early manufacturers of high-performance electric motorcycles before entering judicial liquidation in 2024.

The company’s proposed lower-cost manufacturing model and future battery improvements could help make its motorcycles more accessible. However, the success of Energica’s relaunch will depend on delivering motorcycles and establishing reliable long-term customer support.

For now, the most consequential news for touring enthusiasts is that the Experia is slated to return to production, giving electric sport touring another opportunity to establish itself in the motorcycle market.
