BDN reported recently on the administration of high-performance electric superbike maker Energica. The Italian company, best known for supplying the original control bikes for the MotoE World Championship, faced hard times and closed its doors last October.
However, there are now rumours of a possible rescue for the brand, originating from the Far East. Online EV specialist news site The Pack (www.thepack.news) has published a story claiming that Energica has attracted the attention of a foreign firm, probably from Asia, and that developments could be on the way soon. It’s all very vague – but Energica did have some very good technology, and it would seem an obvious target for existing firms looking to pick up some valuable intellectual property and engineering know-how at a cut price.
