Ive always gotten parts right away when I ordered them.  Maybe a month wait on a brake level but I strongly believe the Dealer  was an idiot and had it the entire time, just didn't open the box and actually read the contents on it.

Ive ordered from the place in texas,  the new england place and from my dealer and the parts have come in pretty fast.
The center stand thing, not sure what is up with that, but the other stuff, always got what was needed.

Fork seals?  isn't another company the manu of the fork?  why not go directly to them?  Just like you'd goto okin for shock parts, or brembo for brake parts, unless you like markup from 3rd party?

Maybe they just don't like you ::shrug::

Ribelle and EGO are pretty much the same power train,ego is tweaked a bit higher.  I have a racing ego, tweaked even higher, MUCH higher, I have done back to back to back to back sessions on the track, 20 minutes or so each, come in, charge up at 35 amps (the most a 50 amp feed will let me do) right back out, and never hit yellow with it.  hitting speeds 135 occasionally 140 on the track.  Maybe if it was 98 degrees out it'd see it, as I DO see yellow sometimes on my Ribelle when Ive been romping it hard on the highway, but were talking being stupid, triple digits for 5 or 6 minutes straight.

The charging is nice because you can use simple house current from 115 ac, 240 ac, or the fast charge CCS1 to charge it so you have plenty of ways To charge it, you really won't be stranded anywhere, just may take a bit to charge on 115volts.

What do you want it for. It's a fun bike but, what is your use intent for it.

It IS a bit heavy overall, and top heavy  so lower speeds, like under 6 mph you CAN get into trouble very fast if you say, take a fairly sharp turn or tap the front brake.  once you are going faster than this, she handles very well. 

If I am doing 40 - 50 mph or so,  some 35  mph rural,  some 55 - 60 mph light highway mix, I can get about 200 miles per charge.  If I am doing 75 to 80 on the highway, I can get around 100 miles per charge,  (trust me, you want to take a bit of a rest after 100 miles)  if Im doing faster, it runs down quicker.  WOT will eat a battery in about 30 miles.

The upright seating position is a lot  nicer than the aggressiveness of the EGO for casual riding.

If you want to analyze in detail your batteries, ZeroSpy (Android application) can be helpful. It records the parameters of your bike every second. And you can further make graphs in order to analyze the records.
Here is an example with my FXS 2016 (with two 3.3 kWh amovible packs).

I make a correlation between the balance and the battery current.
You can compare your data to mine.

Ribelle RS+. Weight is approx the same as the SS9. Felt *much* heavier than my SR/F+Charge tank - mostly because the weight is much higher up. Although I did find that made it handle a little better than the Zero... the SR/F feels very stable with its low COG but this of course has the side effect of needing to lean it far further to get it to turn at the same rate.

No news, but just saying, my bike's been updated with all the latest FW and it hasn't been sorted yet. I think we may need to pressure Zero into doing something about this. It has rendered the charge tank pretty useless.

I hear it is almost impossible to get parts from Energica these days. One guy I know has been waiting for more than a year for his Rebelle Fork seals. Still has not heard anything.


And many of us are still waiting for an Experia centerstand since we first got our bikes.


What is the problem with getting Enegica parts these days?


Is it just a USA problem or is it the same in Europe?

Been a while since I posted.  My SR/F has been in for the battery replacement under warranty.  I’m very happy with it given I now get access to 15.4 kWh.  But, it doesn’t allow 12 kW to be delivered to the bike beyond 50% SOC.  then it slowly tails off to 6kW at about 80%.  Capping at 6 through to shutoff.
I am hoping this behaviour is temporary until Zero get confidence in the batteries in the field, but it used to be 40mins to get 10+ kWh into the bike.   Now it’s well over an hour.  🤦

Anyone got any news on this?

Thanks,
Paul.
