EM (Electric Motion)

Hi guys. I've got a new to me em 5.7 around 2012 (no idea how to figure out the year) Basically the green light is always on. No matter if the battery is switched off or the switch gear is off. The only way I can turn off the green light is to disconnect the wiring at the 2 amp fuse . The handle bar switch appears to work for killing the bike. But the green light remains on regardless. I'm guessing this isn't right. I'll pull the switch apart and have a look. But any advice appreciated. Cheers

The write-ups are quite technical, but maybe some here will be interested. This link is the actual retrofit process: https://www.electricmotiontech.com/home/em-5-7/sx-controller-retrofit This link describes some preliminary work to familiarize myself with the SX controller: https://www.electricmotiontech.com/home/em-5-7/sx-controller-experiments

For those interested, I have built a website devoted to Electric Motion trials bikes. I intend it as a give-back for all the things I've learned via the internet over the years. There is no advertising or commercial content. https://www.electricmotiontech.com/home Edit: Forgot to mention there's a very effective search tool built into the website - just use the magnifying glass at the upper right-hand corner.

Last weekend threw up a problem on my 2023 ePure Race. After about 2 hours of practice riding I returned to my car and parked up. A few minutes later I was going to take the lazy way out and ride the bike round in a circle to load up. However I couldn't, because every time I attached the lanyard I got the beeps that say "You've got some throttle on so I'm not going to let you select a map." I fiddled with the lanyard and the throttle, switched off and on, but nothing solved it so I pushed the bike. At least I was lucky it didn't do it at the far end of the site which would have left me with a 1 mile uphill push 😱.So today I have dug into things further. I tried switching …

I’m having an intermittent problem with my 2022 Epure Race. A couple of days ago, I started riding in blue mode with tick over on. Very quickly, it switched to green. Pushing the selector button again to blue, it again switched back to green when riding a short distance (it stayed in the same TKO mode). I rode back to the van, took off the covers, wiggling wires and harnesses did not trigger it. What did trigger it was hitting the right side of the motor with the palm of my hand. It was surprisingly easy to trigger it this way. Also, tilting the bike to the extreme left triggered it. Unfortunately, the problem stopped after about 15 minutes and I haven't been able t…

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this - logically to me it belongs in EM. The only fault I can find with the latest EM bikes is that they are a bit heavier than the ICE alternative. With solid state batteries soon to be a feature of the light car market I wonder if this will be the next development for electric trials bikes? The downside is going to be cost andalready the EM is more expensive than a Montesa or similar, but to be fair not by much. Anyway some news on this front in my feed propted me to look at this road bike development: https://www.ducati.com/ww/en/news/ducati-s-electric-research-continues-with-the-v21l-prototype-and-solid-state-batte…

I want my 2024 sport to sound like Toni's 4 stroke torquer since I've been inundated with his impossible antics on Instagram. I love the one finger diaphragm clutch but to really get the feel of motor /flywheel inertia, I want a low frequency pop instead of the 'zing' sound which is mainly due to gear train noise. So I took a cheap 12VDC car alarm out of the trash and tapped it across two random AC motor phase leads, just for giggles. And predictably, it first smoked a little, probably the 50+ volts into 12 V circuit thing, no surprise. But then it kept working and would produce an ugly growly sound proportional to RPM. I'm not an Electrical Engineer but no doubt so…

My missus is struggling to find an insurer that will cover her factor-e. The bike does not sem to appear on any of the main insurer's databases. I tried to add it to my (Aviva) multibike but they do not list it. We found a specialist trials company that offered theft but it was twice the price of my multibike (Suzuki GSX and Honda CRF) or the wife's Ducati Monster insurance. i just wondered if anyone has found a regular company that will cope with this model? The "specialist" for electric (motor) bikes I found cover the escape but not the factor-e so could not get a quote from them either. Only looking for theft cover.

Hi All, Total newbie here but i've just bought the Epure race (2 actually, one for the boy). Theres a sound that sounds like a grinding bearing when you add power could this be the drive bearing? I only came to this conclusion after seeing what parts were available and if so is it an easy swap as i cant find any real info out there on the motor and would much rather do it myself. Hope this makes sense!

I had a really good feel for my old (2021) bike with a 51T sprocket on it. Foolishly I left it on when I changed the bike, thinking it would be easy enough to get another one for my new (2023) bike. It's not. I can't find one anywhere. Does anyone one have one to sell, or know where I could get one? 51T preferred but I would go with 50T or 52T too.

Just a heads up that the (whole) EM factory team are runing a couple of short EM training sessions at Kettering on the Monday (8 Sep) after the GP weekend. Its booked with Inch Perfect and only open to EM bikes. I have a TRS so it will just be the missus going. At the moment she is on her own so I am hoping this post might prompt some other people to book up or they will cancel it and I will never hear the last of it. Full details on the IP website.

Hello everyone, New EM owner here, picked up a used 22 epure race couple weeks ago. What a fun bike, been having a blast with it. Although I have one issue that I cant figure out, went through this forum and haven’t seen a similar issue. When riding the bike for a bit randomly it will start to hold revs sort of similar to if the TKO is turned on even tho it is not on. If I hold in the clutch and release the throttle the revs will very slowly come back down very similar to a lean condition on a ICE bike. But With no clutch engaged the bike does not pull or want to inch forward. It will do this in all 3 maps. Then after a little while of this if I pull the kill tether …

Hey Guys, In the past few days, my Electric Motion Trial has occasionally cut the throttle while riding. Now it doesn’t work at all. The kill switch still lights up, but there is no startup sound and the map switch doesn’t light up anymore. The battery provides about 50V and the battery relay clicks as expected. I also tried bypassing the kill switch, but it didn’t help. thanks!

I raised this as one of my points on this other thread but it was too many questions at once, and most of it has fallen by the wayside now anyway. So I thought I would address this one question again. My aim is to achieve a little bit of engine braking with the throttle closed, similar to a petrol bike. The Mecatecno I tried had this. Having studied the information on konrad's website, I'm proposing to use the microswitch in the Domino throttle to feed about 1 volt into the PRB connector. I'll use the PRB/FRB Y-piece to actually make the connection at that end, meaning of course that the FRB won't work, but that doesn't matter. To get the 1 volt, I'm hoping to …

I am trying to find the price for the french full-sized e-trials EM 5.7, but an email to them bounced back. It is a nice bike, the only major thing it seems to lack is a battery charge indicator. As an aside, if the Gas Gas comes out with their e-trials and they deliver with a clutch, let better say if they come out at all, it would be nice.

Just bought a 2024 Sport model and really enjoying it. Certainly a big adjustment from my Sherco 250. This was my very first try right out of the crate last week... I was fooling around with the clutch and winding it up for no reason. This was this week (snow is gone) - a lot quieter you can hear the sound of the X11s on the driveway

Our club (XHG Tigers) will host a test day with Inch Perfect at our ground near Poole/Bournemouth. Date (unless everything goes wrong) is planned for 9th August. We will put a practice trial on as well so you can have a ride if you bring your own bike. I will update this thread as all the details finalise and the invitations for the test rides and trial go live. Hope to see a few of you there on the day.

Here are some footpegs that i cobbled together. They are crude and heavy but allow me to try different peg placement, they are about 1/2 inch (12-13mm) forward and lowered the same amount. I also did away with the forward slant of the stock pegs. They are much more conducive to sitting on the seat and transitioning between sitting and standing, they affect ground clearance very little. They are a big improvement for me, I hope to have a nicer set made, I'm happy with the forward position but I'd like them another 5-8mm lower.

In todays episode of "what's he broke now?" Changed the clutch oil, Drained old out and replaced with 260mm of new but now the clutch doesnt engage at all. Thought it could need bleeding so i first filled from the bleed nipple, then as that didn't work bled all the fluid out and refilled again but still not working and i'm out of ideas? Also what a stupid place to put that bleed nipple, every video I've watched has an easy access one not a stupid angled one.... Also i need to replace the drain plug as the allen thread has rounded, can i get a generic one from anywhere (UK) and what size is it as the parts list doesnt state the size? …

Hey guys. My 2021 em escape r has stopped working. Ran it thru a pretty boring run up the mountain, came back down, everything was fine. The next day I go to start it and nothing. The battery engages, lanyard works, head display shows 98% and switching map to green light but their is zero power to the motor. Tried the reset cycle. Nothing. Even went as far as to replace the throttle control with a new domino throttle. Nothing. Has anyone dealt with this problem or does anyone know how the heck to fix this? Checked all connections, battery, fuse and everything's good.
