Highly technical terms used in this video: "all these screws" "those screws" "which one goes where" "new beefy bolt". Here at NewZeroland, we push the limits on mechanical understanding, instruction, and communication! 🤣🤣 Pretty cool that someone is making legit aftermarket parts for Energica. One can only hope that bleeds over into other brands like Livewire - if someone made a pannier rack I'd be all over it in a heart beat. Great tutorial video and your video quality is great!
Hahaha thanks bro! I had at least 3 "that's what she said" clips in this video but removed them to try and be more professional 😂 Mushroom tips and shafts and coming from the outside.. it was just too easy.
That's awesome stuff! You contribute so much to the community with these kind of videos. You simply can't beat a clear video detailing the steps involved but what I guess is not really obvious to the casual viewer is the effort you went to to light and shoot this video, all while trying to mod your bike properly. 👏👏👏
Thanks so much, John! Lighting was definitely the struggle in my super dark garage, mostly at night haha. Also getting the camera into those weird/tight places. Hopefully this helps people so they aren't as lost as I was!
Welcome back home! Hope your Energica experience was incredible because it looked fantastic! Cool parts added to personalise your incredible bikes! Did you add the parts to both bikes or just yours? Now it’s always 2 of everything 😉🇮🇹 Great stuff NZL!
Cheers man! Yep, 2 sets of parts. Gotta have matching bikes! Italy was a dream come true and I'm glad I could share that trip with everybody 😁 Time for more trackdays and road trips!
I swear, a few weeks ago I dreamt about a video about this... I was dreaming of waking up, reading my phone and saying "cool, I'll check it later". Then I kept sleeping. When I woke up (for real), I had breakfast, all the routine... and then I checked for the video but I couldn't find it. (Then a few day later you posted the kidnap video). The only mod I'll need is self-cancelling turn signals, and a way to install the keyless system, as the previous owner doesn't have it. I'm sure I'm going to forget the keys in the ignition sooner or later, Harley really treat you well with it as standard.
Haha you weren't dreaming. I uploaded this 3 weeks ago but turns out my installation was wrong, and then I fixed it 2 weeks ago but EONE wasn't ready to sell the parts yet so I had to wait to make the video public. What are self-canceling turn signals like?? I've never had a bike that came with those.
@@NewZeroland Ah-ah, I caught you! Harley cancels the turn signal after a while if you don't turn (a few hundred meters, I think it depends on the speed too) or when you finish your turn (I think it just checks your lean in the direction and then when you straighten it up). They have always been like that, at least in this century, I doubt Panhead did. xD From a quick search, HD from at least 1985 have them, although it is less sophisticated. Even 40 years old Suzuki and BMW do. I watched a video that talked about mod in bikes, and I first I was shocked that's not something all bikes come with (the author of the video was adamant that NO bike have them). But it looks there are mods for some bikes, I don't know how they work or if they are reliable (they aren't connected to the CU, so they surely lack the speed and distance check).
and 3:20 Rob told me something something about drilling, and I thought to myself "um, I think I'll wait for an official instruction" but now I see how easy it is (at least for my capabilities)
@@bikeelectric4821 yeah it was a bit daunting for me too.. I think I used a 9.5mm or 10mm drill (whatever that is in imperial I have no idea) and you'll need a really strong drill. Definitely leave the black bracket on when you do it to make it easier. In the end it's well worth it!
Nice! Yeah that knob was interesting to install without instructions. I got very lost and had to look up a lot of stuff haha. Hopefully this helps people in the future.
I have my SS9+ RS being delivered next week. I had ordered all of these parts from Rob a while ago so I left them with the dealer and they were cool with installing them for me. The axle sliders are easy enough but knowing me I’d probably screw up the frame sliders so I feel better letting someone else do it. Plus I’m having them install the turn signal brightness kit. After a four month wait, I’m super excited to finally ride it.
Bwahaha right?? This isn't sustainable for sure. I finished this video 2 weeks ago and waited until EONE was ready for me to post it. The next video will take a few weeks :\
Just installed the frame sliders. I had to place the nuts tapered side in. The opposite of on the video. Bolt would not thread otherwise. Install seems solid. Thanks for the video - no way to tackle it without it.
Cheers! Glad this helped. But you really want the nut the other way so it fits snuggly inside the frame. That helps secure the bolt in there. It's a tricky one, for sure.
@@NewZeroland I remember that from your review. Is the entire bolt supposed to be inside the frame? Right now about half is inside the frame but it’s quite solid. Is this something you confirmed with EONE? When I got the parts the nuts and bolts were together with the taper side facing the bolt. It was much harder threading the opposite way when testing to make sure everything fit together and on one side the bolt would’t thread at all unless it was entering on the taper side.
@@ciaravino20757 oh weird! Very weird that it came together like that. The thinner part of the nut should go inside the frame and the tapered part sits on the outside. I'm not sure why it was designed this way but those were the instructions I was given. If it works for you like that, I'm sure it's fine. Any protection is better than none!
Just talked to EONE. They confirmed the taper side of the frame nut faces the bolt (away from battery). The flat part is towards the battery so it’s easier to hold on to.
That.... would be difficult. Energicas don't have auxiliary charging ports like Zeros. I asked them about that and they said it was too dangerous with 300 volts.
After waiting almost a year for Energica Japan to get bikes ready, I got tired of waiting and pulled the trigger on a BMW CE-04! Will be a great commuter bike. (Ill try my hand at making videos with it) Ill revisit Energica once Japan gets its shit together.
Awww man that's such a bummer, but the CE-04 looks awesome!! I love the styling. No joke, someone else commented right after you asking if I've ridden one haha. I haven't even seen one in person so I'm excited to watch your videos!
Sometimes it takes a bit to connect, and it will say "key not in range" but you can cancel out of that message. In general she hasn't had issues with it.
Hey. Could you touch the topic of battery heat management in one of your next videos pls? The new Experia has it but the older bikes don’t, right? Do Energica plan to include the system in all bikes soon? From what I understand that is the main reason Energica “lost” vs Ducati as MotoE supplier.
Yeah I'll talk about that in the future on a road trip, for sure. The Experia is still air-cooled, but the battery is designed in a way that *should* keep it from heating up as much. About MotoE, Energica pulled out to pursue other things. It had nothing to do with overheating batteries. The Ducatis won't be able to do more laps even though they're liquid-cooled.
Hi Sam, nice video, very useful as usual. I'm surprised, don't you have any switch on the sit ? There is one on mine (on both Ribelle I had actually), and to remove the sit there is a connector unfortunately really misplaced under side panel.
How were you able to get the frame slider nut into the hole at 4:04? On my SS9+ RS, there doesn't seem to be enough clearance between the frame and battery to insert the nut.
@@NewZeroland No worries, I managed to get the nut in. My clearance between the frame and battery was 22mm on one side and 25mm on the other. I had to file down the nut until it fit.
That was scary mate!!! drilling through hole in towards battery, twist drills often grab and go, put something behind like hardwood or pack the drillbit to limit bore through, always think what’s behind, me electric motor fixer have seen so many times drill through casing into copper winding, no hand behind either, have seen too, 50K advice, just what I need to get my RS, please please
I think a dealer here is interested in picking them up.. we'll see what happens! I'd love to open an Energica shop but I'm too busy to even upload all the videos I've shot haha.
I don't why, if there's no valuables under the seat but only the charging port, there's a need for a mechanism so secure! What's Energica is afraid of, that someone could charge our bike without our permission?? 🤣
Hahaha I guess it prevents people from vandalizing it or something. Like key locks on fuel filler caps to stop people pouring salt in the gas tank. Paranoia, mostly.

Nice! Yeah that knob was interesting to install without instructions. I got very lost and had to look up a lot of stuff haha. Hopefully this helps people in the future.
I chuckled when I saw you say Energica of New England. I live 2 hours away from that dealership. Lol.

Looks good 👍
Two videos in a week? You are spoiling us Sam, that or you just caught up enough at work to have time to edit. Either way, a win for your fans.
Bwahaha right?? This isn't sustainable for sure. I finished this video 2 weeks ago and waited until EONE was ready for me to post it. The next video will take a few weeks :\
Sweet can’t wait to mod mine. Now all I need to do is get a bike to go with the mods.
I mean you could mount these to a Razor scooter if ya want XD
Good job and good parts thanks for this vidéo
Cheers! Hope this helps :)
also cruise control button on left side will be great
Yeah! I saw someone install a custom button for that. I need to try it.
Was the front axle nut torque specified for greased threads? If not, you just over-tightened it!
Yep, threads are greased in the manual.
Looks Nice and Tech-y
I Just unscrewed the side panel only die key swap.
Ahh good idea

Just let the lock housing stay in the bike and and you can quickly swap the lock pieces :)
Nice! Thanks for the tip.
Have you had a go on the BMS CE04?
Although it's a maxi scooter, it really rides like a cruiser.
It's a blast.
I haven't, but I love the styling of that thing! Heard it rides great. I don't know if they sell it in NZ yet though.
@@NewZeroland because it's long and low, the initial accerelation is hilarious.

Ohhhh interesting! Nope, I didn't see a switch anywhere 😳
@@NewZeroland this is probably EU thing. If you forgot to plug it back, the bike do not start.
@@LeGriffon1453 wow, that's sketchy!
What size did you have to drill the bracket/frame hole out to for the frame slider bolt?
I think it was a 9.5mm or 10mm drill bit.
Sadly I felt down 3 times parking, I could safe small damages on the carbon if I had this! Thanks
Aw man! Sorry to hear that. These bikes are heavy. The new ones are way lighter, but still heavy.
👍
How were you able to get the frame slider nut into the hole at 4:04? On my SS9+ RS, there doesn't seem to be enough clearance between the frame and battery to insert the nut.
It took some wiggling but it should fit. Hope you got it workin! Sorry for the late reply. I've been on a road trip out of cell service 😵

3:36 German company that makes a frame slider using the original bolt--what is it called/how to find this company?
Sorry, I don't know if they sell them anymore. They used the original / smaller bolt size, so it wasn't as strong.
Nice. Choice bling mods.
