A roadside replacement is genuinely a cinch - you only need two small tools or something, and you can loop the new belt on, admittedly a bit of an arse if you don't have someone to push the bike for you as you probably don't have a centrestand.

Don't all Zeroes require disconnecting the swingarm to replace the belt? And compressing the suspension using a ratchet strap?

Some people had pre-threaded and tucked away a small limping belt they can unfurl onto the sprockets should the belt snap (threads somewhere on this forum).

My '16 FX has only 12,500 miles on it and the belt still looks good. I like to hop speed bumps, so years ago I bought a spare belt just in case, but don't carry it with me. After all, the bike is rarely more than 25 miles from home.

The only time I ever dropped my 2018 Zero S with Power Tank happened the same way as Apollo describes his accident. I had just come to a stop at a traffic signal and I managed to put down my right foot right into a pothole at the street gutter. Once my bike started to tip over, there was no stopping it due to the weight of the PT. Fortunately, since my bike was blocking the travel lane, several people behind me got out of their cars and helped to pick the bike up for me so that they could be on their way. The only damage was a scratch on the bar end and a broken foot peg that was easily replaced with the passenger's foot peg, which turned out to be an identical part.

I once dropped my Zero SR with Pwr tank.  It was not possible to get the bike up without help. MUCH harder than a thousand-pound Harley! Because the SR falls down very flat. No way for one person to lift it up without special tools or help.


I recently put crash bars on my 2017 Zero SR with Pwr Tank. I have not dropped in since that one time, but perhaps the crash bars will help keep up the bike up far enough for me to be able to lift it up using the normal & correct procedure. But not yet tested in the real world and I hope to keep it that way.

I ordered and paid for a centre stand when I bought my Experia back in Feb 23 and have heard nothing since. My dealer has not heard anything either.Smithy.

I paid for mine in full with AF1Racing. Af1 racing contacted me after a year to ask if I want a refund, as they are not hearing a word from Energica about it.  I told them I am willing to wait longer and for them to hold on to my money. I am now wondering if I should ask for the refund, as it now looks like Energica will probably never have it available.

when I saw that filipacci dot com had them listed in stock a couple weeks ago (not sure if accurate...) I asked my dealer and they were able to order me one.  They said it being available to order was a good sign, as it had not been for a while.  Whether I get one... who knows.  I don't have any money down, so whatever.

Fall back is I'll have one custom fabricated.  Only concern there is if something happens and the mounting bosses get damaged, I'm SOL as far as warranty of not a factory accessory.

bumpppp, wondering the same thing

It seems that the main stand is history now. Energica does not list it anymore in the online configurator tool and also the Online Store of Energica does not have the main stand listed anymore.
Too sad...

It'll get you home and then you can undo the wheel properly and set the tension correctly.

This is the wear I have at 44,000 kms.

Looks like your rear pulley has a decent amount of wear in the centre of the teeth, interesting that it's not along the entire width. Your front pulley however looks like it is significantly worn with that hard lip on the left and the teeth look to be a lot narrower than they used to be.
