In the comparatively short time it existed, Energica Motor Company built up some impressive technological achievements. Not just the kind that are hypothetical; ones that were actually tested in the real world, and available for real people to go out and ride.
And buy, even. The company's bikes weren't cheap, but they were real production motorbikes that you or I could go and throw a leg over, provided that we had a dealer nearby and the money (or credit) to take one home. Let's not forget, the company was the first Italian motorcycle maker out of the gate with MotoE, before Ducati got involved with a bike that it so far says won't trickle down to a production model.
Meanwhile, Energica? High-performance EV motorcycles were all that it concentrated on doing. And then, it got private equitied. It left MotoE, suddenly announced expansion plans to multiple new markets, and eventually crashed and burned earlier in 2025.
