The technical novelties of the MotoE 2022

The motorbike available to the riders is the Ego Corsa (this is the technical sheet of the MotoE), produced by Energica Motor Company, the Italian company selected as the sole supplier for four years, until the end of 2022.
Enel X is the main sponsor of the championship and supplier of mobile charging systems for motorbikes. In addition to Enel X, the other partners in the championship are DHL, Michelin and Allianz. The technical partners are Michelin, Ohlins (through Andreani Group), Dell'Orto, Brembo.
This year the main technical innovations will involve the Michelin tires, in particular the rear, and above all the new EMCE synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) developed by Energica.
