Overview

Introducing the 2022 Energica Esse Esse 9 RS, a striking entry in the realm of electric sport motorcycles that marries cutting-edge technology with Italian flair. As a flagship model from Energica, a brand renowned for its pioneering electric vehicles, the Esse Esse 9 RS is designed for those who crave performance without compromising on sustainability. With its sleek lines and bold color options—Riviera Green, Bormio Ice, and Sunrise Red—this motorcycle not only stands out visually but also embodies the spirit of innovation that electric mobility represents. Positioned to appeal to both seasoned riders and those new to the electric scene, the Esse Esse 9 RS is a powerful statement in the growing electric motorcycle market. At the heart of the Esse Esse 9 RS is the potent EMCE motor, delivering a remarkable 109 horsepower and a staggering 200.7 Nm of torque. This impressive torque provides exhilarating acceleration, allowing the bike to reach a top speed of 200 km/h (124.3 mph) seamlessly. The 1-speed gearbox simplifies the riding experience, enabling riders to focus solely on the road ahead while the liquid-cooled system ensures optimal performance even during spirited rides. The combination of these features results in a smooth and responsive ride that is both thrilling and accessible, making it perfect for twisty roads or urban commutes. The Esse Esse 9 RS is loaded with advanced technology and features that enhance both performance and rider comfort. Its robust steel tubular trellis frame provides exceptional rigidity, while the Marzocchi front suspension and Bitubo rear mono-shock offer adjustable rebound and compression damping, allowing riders to fine-tune their setup for various riding conditions. Safety is paramount, with Brembo brakes equipped with ABS ensuring precise stopping power. Furthermore, the bike boasts a commendable range of 153 miles on a single charge, thanks to its 21.5 kWh lithium-ion battery and three charging modes. Riders can also choose from four riding modes—Urban, Eco, Rain, and Sport—along with regenerative braking maps to optimize energy use, making this motorcycle as practical as it is exhilarating. **
