After months of meticulous observation, thorough research, and strategic planning, the moment I had been waiting finally arrived. On Friday, November 28, 2024, I marched into my local dealership with one goal in mind: to bring my dream ride home. After some sharp negotiation and detail tweaking, I decided to seal the deal on a lightly used 2024 Energica Experia equipped with the highest-tier package.
This exceptional machine features hard-side panniers and a top case for ample storage, striking cast aluminum wheels with bold red accents, heated handgrips for all-weather comfort, and an AC domestic charging cable for ultimate convenience. But it’s not just about looks—this bike packs serious performance. With a nominal 80 HP, a 100 HP peak, 85 lb-ft @ 7,500 rpm of torque, it rockets from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, reaching a top speed of 112 mph. It’s a ride that meets my expectations of what an electric bike should be.
Here’s the kicker: I secured this incredible machine for $17,000, a steal compared to its $22,000 resale market value. The deal came with some calculated risk, as the manufacturer’s recent bankruptcy raises questions about long-term warranty and parts support. However, this gave me the leverage to score such a deep discount.
To sweeten the deal, I traded in my trusty 2013 NC700X (affectionately called NaNCy) and added some extra cash as a down payment. With some smart financial juggling, I kept my out-of-pocket cost at just $1,200 and locked in a manageable $350/month payment for 36 months.
I’d say I walked away with an incredible deal—and an even more astonishing bike. The Energica Experia is more than a ride; it’s a testament to planning, persistence, and passion, now fully realized.

. I realize the bike is an Energica not a Zero. My reference was to zero (zip, zilch nada) tech support from Energica. I put no pun intended because of the zero (not capitalized) reference and also because I knew you had previously owned a Zero.
