The fundraising consists in an online raffle that was launched few days ago on the fundraising platform Vip Prize and runs until August 12, 2020.

"As Energica's financial incubators and technological partners - comments Engineer Franco Cevolini, CTO and CEO at CRP Meccanica and CRP Technology - we have been supporting the development of all the Energica models from the very beginning, especially the road-going EGO which shares common ground with the Nico's custom designed 2018 Energica EGO electric sportbike."
Engineer Franco Cevolini adds: "CRP Technology's innovative, avant-garde solutions in the field of Additive Manufacturing technology and CRP Meccanica's expertise in the field of High Precision CNC Machining process, have made Energica a unique model throughout the world. CRP's know-how is present on Nico's Ego as many parts of his custom electric sportbike were manufactured in Modena by CRP Technology and CRP Meccanica."
CRP Meccanica manufactured some parts for the area of the rear suspension, swingarm included, and components for the static and rotating part of the motor housing (e.g. crankshaft, gear train, pinion shaft).
Some of the parts manufactured by CRP Technology using laser sintering process and Windform composite materials are: chain sliders, front sprocket covers, bracket for ABS support, motor terminals cover, water pump supports, front and back headlights covers, external supports for turn signal.
It evidences that the union between a highly advanced 3D printing process (Selective Laser Sintering) and Windform TOP-LINE composite materials allows the creation of functional and performing components.
The 2018 Energica Ego is a fully electric high performance motorcycle with 107kW (145 hp) and 200Nm torque delivered by a Permanent Magnet AC power unit with a battery capacity of 13.4 kWh. With a top speed of 150mph (240kph) and an acceleration of 0-100kph in less than 3 seconds, it is one of the world's most powerful and advanced electric motorcycles on the market.

Anyone entering the raffle has a chance to win Nico's custom designed Energica Ego electric sportbike, which will be handed over by Nico Rosberg personally during a Meet & Greet in his hometown Monaco. Travel and accommodation for the winner and a companion are included in the price package, as well as the shipping cost for the motorcycle. Everyone registering for a donation will have the chance to win. The more money donated, the more raffle tickets will be provided, thus, the higher the chances are to win.
