An Interview With Rob Swartz, Charging Across America Challenge 2022 Creator
Do you like a challenge? Plenty of riders do, but it takes a special kind of rider to plot a cross-country trip on an electric bike at the beginning of April. That was the plan behind the Charging Across America Challenge in April, 2022, though.
The premise seems simple enough on paper: Two Energica riders would crisscross the U.S., riding the traditional Cannonball route between the Red Ball Garage in NYC and the Portofino Hotel in Redondo Beach, California.
An Interview With New Electric Motorcycle Cannonball Record-Setter Steven Day
Day rode his Energica EVA Ribelle 2,906 miles from Redondo Beach, California to New York City in just 111 hours.
On April 18, 2022, the Charging Across America Challenge set off from both the East and West Coasts. Two Energica riders, both alike in dignity (but nowhere near Verona) decided to crisscross the country along the historic Cannonball route. Event organizer and rider Rob Swartz and his EVA EsseEsse 9 would start in New York City and ride to Redondo Beach, California, while rider Steven Day and his EVA Ribelle would do exactly the opposite.

GARDNER — Local motorcycle enthusiasts interested in going green don’t have to travel very far to take a look at the most popular brand of electric two-wheeled vehicles in the country.
Energica of New England, which was opened two years ago by Robert Swartz at 45 Fredette St., is the only dealership in New England offering the fastest-growing electric motorcycle brand in the world.
ENERGICA ADDS DEALER IN MA WITH ROB’S DYNO SERVICE

GARDNER, MA – A former Motus sport touring bike dealer in this north-central Massachusetts town is now selling Italian made zero-emission electric motorcycles at 45 Fredette Street. Owner Rob Swartz continues to focus his business interests on selling and servicing high-performance motorcycles with the opening of Energica of New England (EONE).
Motus was the American-made sport bike company that launched in 2013 and folded in September 2018, a little more than a year after Swartz signed up. Energica is a high-end EV brand from Italy that is very slowly developing a dealer lineup in the United States.
Swartz said Sunday that Energica first approached him back when he was still selling Motus models. “After Motus closed, I thought about it,” he said. “I ran into (Energica CEO) Steffano (Benatti) and I said, ‘Let’s give it a try.'"
At present, Swartz is the sole Energica dealer in New England. Hudson Valley Motorcycles in Ossining, NY also sells Energica models.
Swartz said one criteria he had in becoming a dealer was to be able to work on the bikes beyond the routine. That includes designing accessories and coming up with mods in conjunction with other vendors to help personalize Energica’s models.
Besides going twice to Energica’s sales and service center in California to get up to speed on the brand, Swartz has already teamed with other companies to build parts for Energica’s entries.
Helibars has developed brand-specific bar risers. Woodcraft Technologies has come up with pegs. Weiser Technik has designed LED lighting elements. There are also 3M body protection kits.
All aftermarket products will only be available through Energica of New England and not directly from the manufacturers.
Swartz Sees Potential For Energica
What has Swartz enthused about Energica is that the company has “lots of great ideas; very beautiful product.” He sees their models as being capable of bringing in new, younger riders to motorcycling, despite price tags that start at $17,620 for an entry Eva EsseEsse9 model.
“All the new kids, the new generation in the pipeline, are really into these bikes. I think they will really take off,” he said.
In announcing Energica of New England as a dealer, Benatti said, “Unquestionably, the next major region in the U.S. to push electric aggressively will be the Northeast, especially New England. We know that the adoption of electric cars will also benefit electric motorcycles, especially those, like ours, that can access DC Fast Charging stations and quickly power up for long-distance riding.”
Energica models have a city range of 249 miles and a combined city/highway range of 143 miles. Energica of New England is expected to draw customers from the Boston market. It is also still servicing Motus motorcycles.
ROB SWARTZ’ CUSTOM COMPONENTS CONTRIBUTE TO NEW E- BIKE WORLD RECORD

Electric Motorcycle World Record Holder Prefers EONE Custom Components
With the goal of proving the viability and superiority of zero emission electric motorcycles, Steven Day set the first sub-100 hour cross-country record on his stock Energica EVA Ribelle. Leaving Jacksonville Beach Florida on Nov. 10, he arrived in South San Francisco California 93 hours later.
One of the few modifications on Day’s bike were handlebar risers custom designed by Gardner MA resident Rob Swartz, owner of Energica of New England and Rob’s Dyno Service. “Rob’s handlebar risers for my EVA Ribelle were a real life saver during my 2,386 mile trek. They made upright riding much more comfortable and ergonomic, dramatically reducing back strain. When I wasn’t tucked down over the tank for efficiency, I was upright relaxing, thanks to the new riding position the EONE riser’s provided,” said Day.
With more than 30 years in the high performance motorcycle industry, Swartz wears many hats including managing two rare-motorcycle dealerships, expert tuner of any brand of electric or internal combustion motorcycle, 21-time land speed record holder and designer/distributor of his personally designed accessories and components for Energica electric motorcycles and other popular brands.
Swartz has worked with both OEM’s and after-market manufacturers to create a unique line of ride enhancing accessories. His designs for Energica include handlebars & risers, foot pegs, trailer restraints and lighting packages. He’s also created a popular line of suspension system components for Indian and Harley-Davidson motorcycles found only through Rob’s Dyno Service.
