The Energica concept came from the eCRP 1.4, the runner-up World Champion and European Champion electric racing motorcycle. On the design of the bike, the CRP Group's additive manufacturing technologies developed for the aerospace and F1 industries played a key role, as the design team was able to shorten the time-to-market and the timing of the research.
