About Egera 전기 모터사이클

에게라(Egera)는 시간, 스타일, 자유를 중시하는 안목 있는 도시 전문가를 위해 탄생한 새로운 유형의 전기 모터사이클입니다. 민첩하고 우아한 이 모델은 어떠한 타협도 없이 도심 통근을 재정의합니다. 연료도, 소음도, 주차 스트레스도 없이 집에서 충전하고 출발하기만 하면 됩니다. 도로 위에서 시선을 사로잡도록 설계된 에게라는 현대적인 성능과 클래식한 요소를 결합했습니다. 그 비례와 자세는 전통적인 모터사이클의 친숙한 실루엣을 반영하며, 세대를 잇는 다리를 만들어냅니다. 새로운 라이더에게는 자신감을 선사하고, 노련한 라이더에게는 시대를 초월한 디자인 언어로 편안함을 제공합니다.

Unique Properties: EGERA is an agile electric motorcycle, designed for stylish urban commuting. It's designed for professionals who want an easy way to get to the office, without limitations, saving time and money, simply charging in the home garage. And they want to be noticed when riding in traffic. Egera is one of the most compact E-motorbikes on the market and the liquid cooling system makes it unique.
Dimensions & Packaging: 2200 x 900 x 1250 mm , 152kg total weight
Tags: mobility, automotive, motorcycle, electric, vehicle
Production Technology: Various technologies were used, including 3D printing, welding, laser cutting, CNC milling, and manual sheet metal shaping. The battery uses state-of-the-art lithium cells. The aluminum swingarm helps keep the overall weight low and ensures excellent rigidity.
Design Challenge: The main challenge was the lack of reference points in Italy and Europe. Even Italian suppliers are not yet fully prepared for the electric car industry. Intensive work was done to ensure ergonomics and perfect balance, because on a motorcycle, these are crucial to the riding experience.
Research: Intensive research and development on the design, battery, electronics, and cooling system. Several traditional vehicles were studied, overlapping the design and hand sketches to define the preliminary layout and ensure proper ergonomics. Subsequently, thousands of hours were invested in 3D CAD and FEM simulation. Three physical prototypes were created.
Inspiration: The motorcycle's design draws inspiration from the 1970s school of motorcycles, such as Husqvarna and Honda. I launched the EGERA project, from design to construction of a complete, functioning prototype, during the Covid era. During that time, I reflected on how I could contribute with a concrete product to improving our quality of life, improving air quality in cities, streamlining traffic, and making electric mobility more attractive.
Project Duration: Started in 2020 in my 12sqm garage in Carlazzo, Como, during Covid. The motorcycles prototype has been tested on the airport track of St.Moritz in 2023, reaching 176kmh. Later in May 2024 the bike has been exhibited at Greentech festival in Berlin. In Aug 24 the motorbike has been exhibited in Villa d'Este, during an E1series event in presence of Will Smith and Rafa Nadal.
Operation Flow: Turn the key on and ride. Similar to a scooter, it is simple, no clutch, no gear box, no smell of gas on your clothes. Charging in the home garage with a simple 220V socket. No stress, just fun!
