TYPE: HSM (Hybrid Synchronous Motor) Liquid-Cooled 3-Phase – 300 V – 12,000 rpm with Adaptive Control Inverter
Energica unveils the new EMCE Motor and Inverter, a significant step forward in electric propulsion for motorcycles. EMCE is a wholly new HSM motor and inverter exclusively co-engineered by Energica and Mavel.
Motor and inverter now share a liquid-cooling system, resulting in a simpler and more effective design with reduced size and greater thermal efficiency. Riders will really appreciate the benefits: lighter weight and a lower center of gravity for enhanced agility; higher peak performance; increased range especially at higher speeds; and substantially reduced maintenance intervals.
ADAPTIVE CONTROL: Because motor and inverter are developed in tandem, the inverter can provide Adaptive Control. This means it is able to select the right control parameters as they vary: the torque required by the vehicle, the engine speed, the operating mode of the system, the temperature and other factors that identify the operating status of the powertrain. Adaptive Control ensures that the inverter can always operate the system as efficiently as possible, while extending the operating limits of the system itself.
WEIGHT: Engine and inverter are 10 kg (22 lb.) lighter than our previous design, despite providing better thermal efficiency and more power, reducing EGO+ weight to 260 kg (573 lbs.). Handling for the motorcycle is enhanced as the smaller size also ensures a lower inertia of the motor.
POWER: Continuous power delivered by the motor is slightly more at 147 Hp/110 kW but peak power increases considerably to 169 Hp/126 kW. Couple this with the increased acceleration of the RS Version and you have the best performance from any electric motorcycle on the track, or the open road.
RANGE: Weight reduction is an assist to range at any speed, but the real delivery is increased range at higher highway speeds because of the enhanced efficiency that brings lower temperatures for the new EMCE motor. At lower speeds, range increases from 5% to 10% according to the riding style. Great news to track fanatics everywhere.
MAINTENANCE: Fewer moving parts always meant less maintenance than for IC bikes, but in the past our transmission/motor oil change interval was 10,000 km/6,000 miles. No longer. Transmission oil now need be changed only every 30,000 km/18,600 miles, with Motor/Inverter coolant every 45,000 km/28,000 miles. Now you can ride and (almost) forget.
