Thanks for watching :) Yes, touring on an electric bike is pretty much like on an ICE only you fill up with electricity instead of petrol. And it is much more pleasant to ride, IMO. On long day trips where I need to stop for charging, I try to take my food and toilet breaks while the bike is plugged in. That way there is no waiting for the charge. It will be done by the time I am ready to go. If you haven't tried riding electric already, I'd certainly recommend seeing a dealer for a demo ride

Thank you ❤️

I love keyless. I have read that some people don't like it, but I haven't really had any issues with mine. Not counting me leaving my keys where they may fall off the bike :D Had normal ignition on my Ribelle, but decided to try keyless for the Experia. Would buy keyless again :)

@@turbolaban Ok, thanks a lot for your feedback.

It is one from AliExpress. Cheapest one I could find at the time that were made for motorcycles :) cost me about $60. Didn’t expect much, but it has worked well

@@turbolaban Oh, wow, ok. This is really cheap. Will go for such a setup as well, looks pretty handy. But first I have to get my Experia next spring 🙂

@@turbolabanSorry, one question I forgot, is it 5 or.6 inches?

@RobertAmmon The one I have is 5

Hi, glad you liked it! Sadly, I was not able to find the chargers in San Marino on any other charging app than the one they wanted me to use. Don't remember if I checked Plugsurfing, but I think so. The chargers didn't show in Plugshare, so was surprised to find them. If I had got them working, it would have been perfect

I have a CarPlay screen from ali express. a.aliexpress.com/_EHil4cL

Yes, I get 12V from the bike. Not really noticeable

Wow! Perhaps some time in May, I'll think about doing the same :)

Not too bad. 8-10 degrees celsius. Happy I have heated clothes, though

Cool :) Switzerland is awesome. Definitely going back there some time

You need to use the app from the charging operator. Same as you would use to start charging normally. So still need to download and register in an app for each company, but after that it should start automatically. Not all companies support this, and I think there is also a competing standard.

Thank you for watching! Self builds are awesome :) You did it completely on your own? What kind of batteries and motor are you using? Really need active cooling of the battery if we want to avoid heat buildup, I think. Unless riding in a very cold environment.The Experia has a pretty good range, at least when not riding highways, so usually I only need 1 charge during the day, if any. Og, ja... Er norsk :)

I have been thinking about something like this, but can't promise anything ;)

@@turbolaban did you record your charges etc?

I have most of the charges (at least DC) in various apps. So should be possible to extract some stats there. I'll have to check when time permits. I tend to forget to document these things, so charging apps to the rescue :D

@@turbolaban same here:-)

Yeah, it was amazing. And apart from the ride down and back up, I was super lucky with the weather. Couldn't have been better. I have the entire route sort of mapped here: motorcycle-diaries.com/en/trips/alps-2023-energica-experia

There has certainly been a fair amount of people asking about the bike. If stopping where there are lots of people, it is almost given that some will come over and check it out :)

@@turbolaban what’s the range guvner? Where’s your generator? Etc? That’s the ribbing I get of me “mates” lol

@@firmbutton6485 Most people are just curious. Many have not seen an electric motorcycle before. In general I find that people are positive, even though they may not consider one for themselves. Of course, range is always one of the first questions :)

It's the Givi S180T SHIELD+ www.givi.it/givi-products/windscreens-spoilers-and-aerodynamic-protectors/additional-aerodynamic-protectors/s180t-shield

Thank you :) My main camera attached to the helmet is an Dji Osmo Action 3. I have a GoPro 8 on the handlebars. The Action 3 is more reliable than the GoPro when it comes to actually starting the recording. I also have an Insta360 One that I use from time to time, but it is quite old now, so quality is lower than the others. I am considering getting one of the newer Insta360 cameras at some point.

Those numbers seem pretty aligned with my experience. Looking at 150-200 km on highway and 250-300 km when going slower on twisty roads, including the mountain passes. Speed really is the major factor when it comes to range. I think the longest I did on this trip was around 270 km without charging, but then I still had a reasonable amount of battery left.

Noted :) I will definitely be back some time to try more routes in the area. Where are you located?

Yes. La merke til kommentaren om kraftlinjene :) Trur du kan komma ganske lagt med Livewire også i alpene. Det var ganske greit med lademuligheter. I alle fall Nord-Italia burde vera null stress. Tenker det går fint andre plassar og med litt meir planlegging/lading på camping over natta. Men det er klart det hjelper med 100(?) km bedre rekkevidde

Woohoo! Thanks :)

Yes. I'm riding the Energica Experia electric MC. www.energicamotor.com/en/models/energica-experia/

Cool! Let me know if you find yourself in the Bergen area ;)

@@turbolaban i will ..bergen is beautiful!!

Hi. Yes I have updated to version 43. This trip was done before the update, though

Takk :) Alpene kan absolutt anbefalast!

Hi! Thanks. Hope you like the series. I am also following Marc. I think it is really cool what he does. I like the Experia very much. IMO it is the best electric motorcycle at this time. I used to own a Zero S, before switching to Energica last year. First the Eva Ribelle, and then the Experia when that became available. I also have a series from last year where I made a trip around Norway with the Ribelle.

I am not an experienced off road rider, but for me it works fine. Not done anything really technical. Only some pretty ok-ish gravel roads. I like that there is no shifting on electric bikes. One less thing to think about. I'm hitting the gravel in episode 12, coming tomorrow ;)

I look forward to watching..thank you for reply​@@turbolaban

Thank you! Glad you like it :)

Kun 1, ja. Det var faktisk veldig lett. Ein liten tur i toppboksen og så slengte eg frå meg nøkkelen oppå bagasjen, mens eg dilla med andre ting. Så tenkte eg ikkje meir på den før eg stoppa i eit kryss og det sto "key not in range" på dash. Sjukt flaks at det skjedde på ein veg nesten uten trafikk!

Thanks for the tip. I will have to go back again and check out new places. So many nice locations to ride in :)

Was pretty nice! I was there in august

@@turbolaban How much are you liking the Experia so far? do you get good range in the Alps?

@@SwitzeroRider Loving it! It's been doing great so far. Of course, there are things that could be improved, but all in all, I am very happy with it. Range in the alps was around 300km, or so. At least I did 270km one day without charging and plenty left. Another time I had 50% left after 150km. Must be noted that I don't ride like I'm on the race track up there. Got to admire the view :) Did I see you getting a DSR/X, or do I remember wrong?

@@turbolaban that's an impressive range! Yes I changed for a DSR/X recently since I want to go more off-road than before

@@SwitzeroRider cool. Enjoy the DSR/X! I need to try one at some point. Haven’t had the chance yet

Thanks for the tip. Think I installed Calimoto at some point, but never got around to try it properly. Perhaps I will give it a go :)

Really hope they get their issues sorted and are able to push out bikes at a greater speed, so everyone can enjoy one for next season. I think I was really lucky to get my hands on one as early as I did. Still waiting for that center stand, though :)

@@turbolaban yeah man enjoy !!!! But to be clear they have made zero the last 4 months !!! Only some specials for demo .. i m planing on visiting their factory ... wanna see bikes rolling out !

Hi. I will probably mention range in some other episode. I do at least intent to do a summary at the end, where this would be included. But anyway, here are at least some details. I must admit that I forget to pay much attention to these things. I take breaks when I ride anyway ;) At 115 - 120 km/h: Range looked to be around 150 km. Lowering the speed to between 90 and 100 km/h brought me back to around 200(+) km of range. I am not sure how much the rain impacted range. I was more focused on getting out of the rain. Luckily, most days the worst rain happened in the afternoon when I was looking for a place to stop anyway. I tried to stop every hour when riding. If battery was low-ish I found a place with a charger. I did have quite a bit of buffer, so could have gone a lot lower before charging. Only arrived at charger below 20% a couple of times. Range when I start riding in the mountains will be pretty nice

Hi! Yes, throttling of charging speed happens when doing multiple charges on highway trips. I have not noticed anything while riding. Note that I have not pushed the bike to its speed limit, so can't say for sure if anything happens in the upper range.

So you are one of the first 100 experia owners !!!!

@@gmy33 Yeah. So happy I ordered when I did. A bit later and I probably would have missed this season. Great bike :)

@@turbolaban i ordered first batch but changed it to black not knowing the delay would happen .. luckily i can ride it now and than from my dealer :-)

Nice! It is a great bike :) Charging infrastructure will for sure improve!

Absolutely agree! Hope they figure out the current compatibility issue

Don’t recall exactly. Gravel part was about 40km, so I guess around 330km total. Had one charging stop on my way back home after about 270km. Quite happy with the range of the Experia :)
