Source: press release Donut Lab | Donut Lab has developed an entirely new approach to building electric vehicles. Using their development platform, manufacturers can now access a collection of interchangeable parts that allow for the creation of various electric vehicles, including supercars, buses, drones, and SUVs, in record time. Furthermore, the company guarantees that these vehicles built on their platform will outperform others on the market with improved efficiency and reduced weight and manufacturing costs.

Studies show that the electric transportation market is projected to increase from USD 550 billion to USD 4.4 trillion by 2032. Donut Lab, a tech company focused on electrifying mobility, recognizes the immense opportunity in this market. As a subsidiary of Verge Motorcycles, a pioneer in electric motorcycles, Donut Lab is driving innovation in the automotive industry by consolidating all necessary components for an electric vehicle onto their single platform, available to all industry players.

“Verge TS is the world’s most advanced electric motorcycle. When developing it, we learned how difficult and slow it is to build electric vehicles using traditional mechanisms. The reason for this is that vehicles are built with components from different equipment manufacturers and are not designed to work together – integration work always takes up most of the time. We decided that if we were able to solve this, we would change the entire automotive industry,” says Marko Lehtimäki, CEO of Donut Lab.

The new era of mobility

The donut-shaped motor is a key feature of the company’s technology platform, providing superior performance compared to other electric motors in all types of vehicles. This motor can be directly installed into the wheel, eliminating the need for a complex drivetrain and making the manufacturing process more streamlined, lighter, and cost-effective. Other essential elements of the Donut platform include battery modules, computer units, and vehicle control software. These components come in various sizes and performance levels, and their modular design allows for use in a variety of vehicles – including robots.

Donut Lab’s components are also capable of functioning independently, making them a valuable addition to traditional mechanisms. For example, a manufacturer could incorporate a donut motor into a vehicle and see improved performance. However, when these components are combined, they create a cohesive entity that delivers unparalleled results. The Donut platform is also designed to expedite the development process for electric vehicles and can reduce resource demands by up to 95% compared to current standards. What once took years to accomplish can now be completed in just months.

“We want to set a new standard for what electric transportation can achieve. The Donut platform creates entirely new opportunities for almost any industry. In the future, those utilising the platform will be able to select the components they want from a catalogue and connect them with standard connectors, after which everything is ready. There is no need for compromises since each component is top class already as a standalone component, and together they take the vehicles themselves and their manufacturing to a whole new level,” says Ville Piippo, Product Director of Donut Lab.

The first partnerships prove the ingenuity of the platform

The platform stands out for its ability to adapt and accommodate various purposes, from hypercars and helicopters to robots and even space mission ATVs. Donut Lab has garnered much attention from different vehicle makers, and they have formed partnerships with operators to utilize the platform for converting existing vehicles to electric power as well as creating entirely new ones.

An example of a company that has utilized the Donut Lab platform in their product development process is Oruga, a Latvian manufacturer of electric vehicles designed for off-road driving. Their latest model, which resembles a futuristic blend of a snowmobile and motorcycle, will make its debut at the upcoming startup event, Slush, in Helsinki this week. Another company benefiting from the Donut platform is Hyper Q Aerospace from Australia, who uses it in the creation of their electric aircrafts.

“Our courageous objective inspires us to redefine off-road vehicles and build the world’s first electric single-roller off-road vehicle designed to travel effortlessly in challenging terrains, such as sand, mud and snow. Donut Lab sets a new standard for the industry, and the company’s technology platform allows for unprecedented configuration and performance that no other competitor can offer,” says Erick Pastor, CEO of Oruga. “No other operator has been able to achieve this level of innovation, and we are excited to be part of it.”

At this year’s EICMA in Milan, Yadea, the world’s leading brand in electric two-wheelers, unveiled their latest lineup of electric vehicles tailored for the European market. One that immediately caught my attention was the Kemper (Oh man, that version with black and gold …) – a powerful naked electric motorbike, and also the most high-performance model in the global brand Yadea’s lineup. And the best part was, I had a little test ride with it. Yadea had constructed an outdoor test track next to their booth, allowing enthousiasts as myself to try out their models.

Similar to the Yadea Keeness (but this motorbike has removable batteries), the Kemper is a naked streetfighter in appearance. However, it’s evident that this machine is more focused on performance, with advanced battery technology and a powerful motor.

One of the standout features of the Kemper is its 320V 20Ah lithium iron phosphate battery, which can charge at an incredibly fast rate. In just ten minutes, it can reach up to 80% capacity. This type of technology will greatly accelerate the adoption of light electric vehicles. If you have access to fast chargers on your route, a brief 10-minute stop every so often would be a welcome break. That’s barely enough time to order and finish your (non-alcoholic) drink, making range anxiety less of a concern. Additionally, it boasts a mere 18-minute recharge time. However, achieving that speed would likely require specialized quick charging infrastructure, as using a regular household outlet would result in significantly another charging time.

The battery is already incredibly impressive, but the motor is even more so. With unmatched electrical power, the Kemper delivers exceptional performance. Its peak power 40 kW mid-drive motor and highly efficient IGBT controller with up to 98% efficiency make it capable of achieving a maximum wheel torque of 570 N·m. This allows the Yadea KEMPER to accelerate from 0-100km/h in just 4.9 seconds. It also boasts a top speed of 160 km/h. Unfortunately, our test track was too short to fully assess its capabilities. However, I can confirm that the bike took off very fast.

And the Kemper boasts Brembo brakes, which I found to be very reliable and gave me a great sense of assurance when it came to stopping the bike quickly and safely (especially on this short test track). The motorbike comes with a dual ABS+TCS system, allowing for optimal handling. The highly regarded Brembo high-performance calipers provide exceptional braking power, as we all know, while the KYB high-performance suspension absorbs shocks and maintains stability for a comfortable ride.

The rear-wheel drive functions in the traditional way using a chain. Although I typically enjoy a quieter belt drive, I was pleasantly surprised by how the Kemper runs with minimal noise. Unlike other bikes that may make a ‘rattling’ mechanic sound, the Kemper operates smoothly and almost silently. Also a nice feature, when you are in the city and have to park or to maneuver, you can also shift into slow “gears” for both forward and reverse.

The Yadea Kemper comes with all the latest and greatest features. LED lights from Osram and a cutting-edge 7-inch (17.78 cm) TFT color display are just a few of its modern components. The scooter also includes smartphone connectivity, tire pressure monitoring, and GPS capabilities for tracking routes and battery status. For added convenience, the smartphone can also serve as a remote key and be controlled by voice commands if desired. Additionally, the app and GPS are integrated into the alarm system for enhanced security measures.

Conclusion THE PACK

Guy Salens: “I was immediately taken aback by the design of the Kemper. The naked bike style and bad boy attitude caught my attention, especially the black version I saw at EICMA. And most importantly, the proportions were just right, which isn’t always the case with motorcycles from the East. Being 1m82 tall, everything seemed to fit perfectly for me. One of the main features that makes the Yadea Kemper stand out is its ability to charge quickly using a Type 2 and CCS Combo 2 connection. Range anxiety is still always a recurring problem for a lot of riders.

The bike was simple to start and incredibly easy to control. It provided a stable and smooth ride, with quick acceleration. The sitting position was comfortable and upright, making it effortless to maneuver through the sharp curves of the test track. The Kemper responded perfectly to my every command (laughs).” Yadea is dedicated to promoting a more environmentally friendly way of commuting, and the KEMPER truly embodies this commitment. It boasts rapid charging, exceptional performance, intelligent controls, and remarkable stability, providing riders with a top-of-the-line electric motorcycle experience like no other.

Kemper’s availability in the European market is expected in the near future, but the exact date is uncertain. Yadea is working diligently to expedite the process for European consumers. I will keep you informed on any updates regarding this matter.”

Energica isn’t just a company, it is a vision. A vision of a quieter, faster, and more sustainable future. In 15 years of passionate work, successes, and groundbreaking technological innovations, the Energica team proved that their motorcycles, “proudly built in Modena” aren’t just the future, they’re already the present of electric two-wheel mobility. But now, this incredible industrial and technological legacy is at risk due to a lack of investors. What’s next? Could there be someone on the horizon ready to believe in this vision once again and continue Energica’s legacy?

While we wait for answers, here’s a summary of its remarkable journey.

2009 – The first seeds of the Company

Energica was born as part of the CRP Group, a company with fifty years of history, closely tied to Formula 1 and NASCAR racing. In the early 2000s, CRP Racing was founded as an independent company competing with traditional internal combustion motorcycles in the Moto2 and 125cc categories. During that time, it achieved numerous victories and strong placements in the 125cc MotoGP World Championship. In 2009, an innovative project in the field of electric motorcycles was conceived, and in just six months, a fully electric racing motorcycle was created. This was the eCRP, which participated in the TTXGP, the first zero-carbon-emission motorcycle world championship. The project was a success: in just two years of development and innovation, the eCRP secured second place as World Champion in 2011 and first place as European Champion in 2010.

2011-2018 The turning point years

The eCRP team began working on a road-legal version of their electric motorcycle. The result was the EGO, the first high-performance electric motorcycle approved for street use. It was officially unveiled at EICMA 2012, and early press tests hailed it as a true electric revolution. In 2014 Energica Motor Company was officially founded, and in 2015 a second model was introduced: the Streetfighter Eva, developed on the same technological platform as the EGO.

These models were technologically advanced, being the first and only electric motorcycles to feature DC fast charging and holding three international patents related to the battery, eABS, and VCU. That same year, the company expanded its sales network across Europe and the rest of the world, and the U.S. Division, Energica Motor Company Inc., was established, with dealerships on both the East and West Coasts. In 2016 a new factory was built in Soliera and in 2017 another model was unveiled: the EsseEsse9, the first electric naked motorcycle inspired by 1960s design. The following year, it was awarded Best Electric Motorcycle of the Year.

2019-2021 Major sporting and commercial successes

Significant achievements come from racing. Energica becomes the sole manufacturer for the FIM MotoE World Cup, the fully electric class of MotoGP. The company supplies 18 specially designed EGO Corsa motorcycles, none of which encounter technical issues, earning praise for their reliability and performance. The EGO also remains the only production electric motorcycle to race and complete the Isle of Man circuit.

In 2023 another milestone is reached with participation in the MotoAmerica Super Hooligan Championship using the Eva Ribelle RS. This marks an unprecedented challenge as Energica becomes the first and only electric motorcycle manufacturer to compete in a championship against internal combustion engine motorcycles. The Eva Ribelle makes history by securing 2nd place at COTA and finishing the championship in 4th place. Meanwhile, growing international sales establish Energica as a global leader in the electric motorcycle sector. This success is complemented by significant technical improvements to the motorcycles. Leveraging knowledge gained from racing, Energica introduces a new 21.5 kWh battery pack. Lighter and more powerful, together with the new EMCE motor—which boasts reduced weight and increased efficiency—it ensures the longest range of any electric motorcycle.

2022-2024 From new investments to judicial liquidation

In 2022, Energica introduces the Experia, the ultimate green tourer and the world’s first fully electric sport-touring motorcycle, designed from the ground up. Along with the new EMCE motor, it features improved battery chemistry, fast charging, extended range, and a new chassis design to reduce weight and enhance balance and handling. The launch of the Experia and the need for greater industrialization of production processes require new resources.

The American fund Ideanomics invests over $100 million to support Energica’s growth and agility. However, by 2023, the downturn in the electric vehicle market and the automotive supply chain begins to impact Ideanomics, compromising its ability to invest further in Energica. As funds freeze, Energica is unable to sustain production, leading to judicial liquidation in October 2024. This marks a paradoxical situation: despite the company being effectively halted, it retains an active customer portfolio, numerous orders, and significant contracts with foreign institutions for police fleets.

Is this truly the end of Energica’s story, or is there more to come?

In addition, the company is showcasing two major new products at the Milan Motor Show: its new S02 scooter (Model Year 2025) – more robust, lighter and maneuverable – and a prototype of a third motorcycle in the grand touring category, the GT-SX Prototype, which will have more range and power for intercity travel.

The S05 Weekender is designed for weekend mobility and daily urban journeys, providing a solution to the demand for a new electric mobility that is both pollution-free and quiet. While it is not an off-road motorcycle, it is suitable for recreational use as its design allows it to be ridden off-road. Its sale price will start at €3,500.

The new motorcycle has a top speed of 120 kilometers / hour with a certified range of 133 kilometers. Notably, it has a lightweight design (94 kilograms without battery). It features ABS brakes and a seven-inch touchscreen. In addition, it includes an ample storage compartment under the faux tank for a helmet. There is also a basic version with a top speed limited to 100 kilometers / hour.

For Carlos Sotelo, director of ACCIONA’s mobility division, the launch of Silence’s new motorcycle means “having a vehicle suitable for commutes, but also those we make during leisure and rest time. The bike generates no noise or vibrations and respects the environment.”

The new Silence S02 scooter – designed for private customers and for the sharing service the company offers in cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, Seville and Valencia, among others – is suitable for both personal and professional use. It features larger wheels that provide greater stability and safety. It is a robust vehicle, weighing just 130 kilograms with the battery, and has an under-seat compartment for helmet storage.

This scooter model, starting at €2,800, will be offered in two versions: the L1e (moped) and the L3e. They will have a maximum speed of 45 kilometers / hour and 90 kilometers / hour, respectively, with a range of 133 kilometers for the more powerful version.

Source: press release* WMC | White Motorcycle Concepts (WMC), the company behind the British electric motorcycle land-speed world-record programme, has collaborated with Zero Motorcycles to prototype the world’s first electric sports bike to incorporate WMC’s patented intelligent aerodynamic duct producing a 10% reduction in aerodynamic drag.

The re-engineered Zero SR/S concept incorporates a bespoke bifurcated aerodynamic duct running directly through the centre of the motorcycle, channelling air from behind the front wheel and exiting above the rear wheel. To enhance the airflow through the patented duct, the team has also designed a new aerodynamic front fender and fork shroud package, ensuring maximum airflow through the system.

The two companies first connected at the Italian Motorcycle Show (EICMA) in November 2023, where WMC and Zero shared a vision, focused on advancing efficient innovation, improving range performance to meet customer expectations for EV motorcycles. The designed architecture of the Zero SR/S makes it ideal to integrate an aerodynamic duct.

The two organizations have been working on an accelerated development programme to deliver this proof of concept. Following processes and procedures learnt whilst working in F1 and worlds sports car programmes, and honed on similar projects, the WMC in-house engineering teams have rapidly developed the concept; using a range of validated in-house modelling and computer fluid dynamics simulation techniques, prototyping and validation, using aero rakes commonly used in high level motorsport, and finally engineering for, and delivering, full assembly, enabling real world testing.

“The whole industry is currently facing a huge technical/commercial challenge to produce an electric motorcycle with performance close to its petrol equivalent.” said Robert White, Founder & CEO, White Motorcycle Concepts. “This problem space will not be solved by battery technology alone, it requires a blend of innovations to bridge the gap now and provide efficiency benefits in the future.

When I first saw the Zero SR/S frame and battery architecture, I immediately recognized the opportunity to retrofit a duct. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved, though the duct is limited by existing packaging constraints. It would offer even greater performance if integrated from the start of a motorcycle’s design.

Aerodynamics is a hot topic, especially in MotoGP, where winglets and other devices improve lap times, though this efficiency benefit does not always translate to retail bikes. Our intelligent aero duct enhances aerodynamic efficiency, positively impacting upon power consumption, especially at high speeds.”

The result, the new WMCSRS concept, presents the world’s first demonstration of our patented duct within a mid-sized sports bike and has been developed using all of White Motorcycle Concepts knowledge gained from their previous applications of their patented duct.

Within this application the design team have created a vertically bifurcated duct that picks the air up behind the front wheel and navigates the existing ZERO SR/S architecture and exits the bike just under the seat. Through the baseline testing phase the engineering team used F1 style aero rakes in front and behind the front wheel and in front of the rear wheel to gain a deep understanding of the air flow. This work identified the impact of the upstream architecture on the performance of the duct and so bespoke front fenders and fork shrouds have been created to enhance the overall performance.

The concept behind this central air duct has been honed as part of the White Motorcycle Concept’s land-speed record programme, and in the WMCSRS development the optimised dual-channel design, and upstream architecture, delivers a 10% increase in aerodynamic efficiency, equating to increased range at highway speeds.

The aerodynamic efficiency gain can be used to extend range or lower costs, reducing the need for a larger battery, which in turn cuts down on weight, charge time, and battery expenses. The duct is affordable to integrate and manufacture, with its range benefits remaining consistent over time. It enables increased top speed (max), top speed sustained and acceleration with a very low risk of component failure, and its advantages increase with higher-speed riding, unlike batteries, which tend to lose efficiency under such conditions.

“From our initial meeting at EICMA we have been interested to understand the potential impact of WMC’s aerodynamic duct” said Abe Askenazi, Zero Motorcycles CTO. “We are committed to innovation and, while battery development is advancing rapidly, we believe a combination of technologies is the key to developing the electric motorcycles of the future. This proof of concept has given us valuable insights into the potential benefits of integrating an aerodynamic duct into electric motorcycles, and we will continue to explore complementary technological advancements to deliver market-leading products for our customers.”

Following the lead of the car market exploration of all aspects of efficiency to extend range, the new generation of electric and hybrid cars are 30% more efficient than cars produced just 5 years ago. The motorcycle industry can look beyond the limitations of current battery technology and embrace complimentary and consistent solutions to transition to net zero. In respect to WMC’s patented duct, the benefit that can be gained will increase over time: as motorcycles will have to remain the same size to respect the rider, but as battery energy density increases this opens up greater volumes for a larger duct. Creating a virtuous circle of benefit, larger duct, less batteries, more volume, larger duct.

The project is a great demonstration of what is possible when two innovative companies work together to address one of the motorcycle industry’s greatest challenges.

The new WMCSRS concept will make its public debut at Motorcycle Live 16-24th November 2024 and can be found on the Zero Motorcycle Stand 4A15, at the National Exhibition Centre Birmingham, UK.
