goto a fiberglass / body shop.  One of the local bike shops may know someone.  They can do amazing work there and make it look almost as good as new, sometimes better.

First ding on my fairings I was pissed / sick,  a few dings later, ehh, just another war  story.  ALL of them are way too proud of their plastic, the price of that shit is just stupid.

PS, if it's black  black-ish  sharpies work wonders to cover up minor damages, or at least make it blend in better so you have to look harder to see it's been dinged up.  Paint pens work well too.     or so I heard from a friend  :P

I just got the Kriega bags.  Bit of a hassle but you can strap them in, tie them on, harness them up to about anywhere you need to.
Getting on the  bike, I kind of swing my leg over the back of the seat to get on, so a big bag / case there would be an additional hinderance towards convenience, and I don't really see a way around that.  YES it would be really nice if the Eva had a rack like the Experia does so you can hard case it, that bike would be totally tits awesome for making deliveries !! but sadly, unless you goto a welding shop, and get a custom one done, which honestly is NOT that expensive, a hundred bucks or so maybe?.. there is nothing readily available.

Check local welding shops, the older established ones tend to have very talented people who can make racks for just about anything, out of anything, so they can do aluminum, stainless, whatever you want and probably not that expensive either.

I just bungie a sports bag or similar to the rear end, prop it up with shoes or something jammed between it and the sidebags, and accept that shifting things to lift the seat and adjusting the load after charging is a bit of a nuisance.

When I had my Ribelle I used it primarily for commuting and never found a tail bag solution I was happy with. I ended up getting a custom rack made so I could mount a Givi WL901 (I think that’s the model number) rigid soft top case. I posted pics in another thread a few years ago if you’re interested. The top case solution worked great while I had my bike. Combined with the OEM soft cases I even did a couple of solo overnight rides.

EDIT: What I suggested in my earlier post (bike recording charges / calculating SoH) was wrong.
I went to my dealer yesterday to let them download the bike's data for the warranty promo. He explained to me that a reliable SoH calculation is not an easy thing to do.

A precise assessment of the SoH may not be possible but data on the lowest cell voltage ever recorded and the current capacity will be what Energica will look at before granting the prolongued warranty.

BTW, the Swiss importer just told me that the battery of their customer with the highest milage (80'000 km in 4 years) has lost only about 2.5% compared to the initial capacity. Moreover, they only encountered one defective battery, all in all. And that one was severely neglected (stored with a very low SoC for prolongued time without attaching a charger).

Good to hear, no one was hurt!
When I had a damaged side fairing, a local paint/repair shop did wonderful work with re-gluing and re-painting for half of the price for the original part. Maybe your fairings are salvagable?

Hi there,

Honestly I have not found anything that is allowing unhindered access to the charge plugs AND is esthetically pleasing  8)
I am planning to go for a local leather/upholstery shop an have something tailor made in the shape of a Held Tenda. The Tenda is a bit too long and too big for the Ribelle's seat.

Currently I am 'misusing' a leg bag as tail bag. That is a provisorical solution but lasting 1.5 years now  ::)

A few weeks ago, I made a two-day trip and had a Kriega US-5 strapped to the seat with my AC-brick inside (for slow charging overnight). It's the smallest bag Kriega produces and is fixed with straps. The Kriega stuff is expensive but worth every penny. There are several sizes available and you can combine them in many ways to fit your needs. But it's not for quick access.

I would be glad as well if anyone can point out something better!

Hello good folk, would you happen to know any good tail bag that would fit my EVA? It's the most useful thing you can have on your bike just don't know which one to buy.
Thank ya

Had a minor accident on my Experia and tagged the rear end of a small truck, I didn't even fall off the bike!! Bike was still rideable. Damage to front fairings, smashed parking light assembly and several other small parts in behind the fairings etc......New Bormio Ice coloured fairings are apparently not available from Energica, so unfortunately my bike will be sitting indefinitely untill they become available.. :-[

Smithy.
