including machines, finished motorcycles, spare parts, battery technologies and intellectual property &#8211; are being auctioned off.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>What does the auction include?<\/h3>\n<p>According to the official auction offer, the sale includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8211;

or whether the brand will disappear from the scene for good.\u00a0 The auction could be an interesting opportunity for financially strong companies or technology start-ups to enter the e-motorcycle sector.\u00a0 However, it is also possible that Energica&#8217;s technology will simply be bought up and integrated into existing projects without the brand itself continuing to exist.<\/p>\n<p>The coming weeks will show whether Energica will be given a second life or will be consigned to history for good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[amazon bestseller=&#8221;Elektromotorrad&#8221;
