EM (Electric Motion)

Where will I be able to get a new rear mudguard in the UK? Inch Perfect don't have any on their site but guess it has to be possible to buy one somewhere.

I've just bought an ex-school 2023 ePure Race from Inch Perfect. It looks beautiful and I'm generally very happy with it, but like any secondhand (or even new) bike there are one or two things to sort out. I'm not impressed with the way the TKO switch is mounted. It's awkwardly inaccessible and is mounted on a curved bit of frame tube so it doesn't fit well. As a consequence mud and water can get into the back of the switch, which has happened. I'm thinking of putting it on the handlebars instead. Has anyone else tried that? It would require a two wire extension about 1 metre long (I haven't measured it yet) with male and female connectors. I can find pre-wired connect…

I have now been riding an EM for 4 years but there are still things I think could be done better, and I'm wondering if they are possible. I would like to have a little bit of "engine braking" when the throttle is closed. I quite like the idea of the "Finger Throttle" on this page, https://www.electricmotiontech.com/home/em-epure-race/regen-experiments. If I understand correctly, this would be a straight bolt-on if I could get the right finger throttle. It could replace the present PRB-R (2023 bike) and the 0.8 volt would provide the engine braking. Right? I only ever use green and blue maps so I would like to get rid of the red map so that the sequence would b…

2023 Epure Race, manual pgs 33 and 35 and 36, TKO and TC Traction control do not seem to work, even after reset. (The FRB, motor braking works) EM Connect, the app, I can't get through the screen to enter a code. I have worked with the dealer, who is sending me a switch and diagnostic cable. Dealer says the feature is new and optional, it doesn't know. I have emailed EM France without any reply on these three issues. Is there something the dealer and I are missing? Thank you. John

A friend has a 22 Epure and the battery status is stuck at 0%. The bike works and appears to charge OK. Is there a way to reset or calibrate? Does anyone know how this works? Is it a simple voltage measurement used to estimate % charge?

I've been really enjoying my Escape over the last few months doing both slow and faster riding. I have started having a problem or two and wanted to see if other riders had encountered them (I've put the question to my dealer as well) They can happen and last for a few seconds a minute then it starts working normally. 1.The display shows F1, F2, or F3 instead of battery level. typically only appear while I am on throttle or regen braking. 2. The display fully turns off I'll keep riding along and eventually the display returns. Anyone else seen this?

Is there enough slack in the wiring to install taller handlebars? I'm 6'5" (195cm) and an old guy. My back hates being bent over too far and also I have more pressure on the bars than I'd like--I can't get into a relaxed position.

I have a 2016 EM with the 3 position power switch as well as the handlebar map. So far I have been really impressed with the bike but the other day it lost a lot of power in the lower two power settings although it seemed OK in the highest setting. This did follow my granddaughter crashing it fairly heavily and burying the throttle. Finished the day out on the high setting. When I looked at it the wheel was rolling on the stand with the throttle closed on the highest setting but not the lower two. I adjusted the throttle to stop that, after taking the throttle to bits to make sure it was all ok and tried the bike very quickly and thought it seemed OK. Unfortunately t…

The propstand on the ePure holds the bike too upright so I have found I have to search out a low spot in the ground to place the stand on when parking up. It's a bit of a pain in the posterior so I went looking for a solution. Now I've put a washer under the inboard fixing to the swinging arm. It seems to be better in the garage, so I'm hopeful for the trial tomorrow. If it turns out to be better but not enough, I'll try two washers but that will need a slightly longer screw as there isn't a lot of thread engagement. Tyre clearance is also extremely tight. I don't know what can be done about the spring/tyre clearance but I've cut off the redundant spring lug and that…

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.

Anyone add a number plate? If so, what are you using?

My old 21 Escape R apparently has had some throttle damage. I remember reading here someplace that a replacement (Domino?) has been used with good results and the quality was better (stock was not great). I cannot find it, please help if anyone knows. (Note, I no longer own the bike, just helping owner out). Mark

I'm 10 rides in on my 2023 EM pure race. I live and ride the steep trail geography in the mountains. However, I'm already needing more power for certain features (very, very steep rock pitches). The EM can't maintain the velocity required - it slows (bogs) on these few features. I thought to change the front and rear sprocket ratio to gain low end power, but on evaluation its already fitted with an 11 tooth front and 57 tooth rear - does this leave anywhere to go on this front? Can anyone think of a way to coax more grunt out of the bike? It feels like a way heaver flywheel might do something - if I could spool it up but I don't think that's really an option either. Than…

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? …

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

I've just bought a 24 Escape X, I plan to ride it a bit as delivered to get the feel of things before I try EM Connect, I'm very much an old dog that needs to learn some new tricks. I'm a bit intimidated by modern electronics, I mostly just use my phone as a phone. The manual seems to explain things pretty well but I'm skeptical that it will really be that simple. Can anyone give me any tips that will make my first experience with EM Connect easier? On another note, I plan to install a left hand lever for the rear brake and remove the foot brake due to my own disability. Research has led me towards using a 9mm Brembo clutch master cylinder for the rear brake althoug…

Have a new 23 epure (not race). I’m struggling with the lack of feel in the rear brake. I’ve been riding a 5.7 since err 2014! Upgraded in 2016 and from the getgo converted the back brake to left handlebar mount (like my mountain bike) primarily to stop the woohoo let’s go backwards free wheel experience when the motor cuts on a sudden load (going over a log fast uphill). You only do it once! 23 has the anti reverse- nice so I thought I’d be a big boy again and go foot brake but it’s horrible no feel it’s nearly put me over the bars - it’s like a very good parking brake! I use the PRB but I like the throttle against the rear brake to tighten turns and the PRB doesn’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…

Hi, I'm looking to buy a used Epure sport. The 2020 bikes are £1500 cheaper than the 2021 bikes. Was there much change from 2020 to 2021, all i can see is in reviews is the forks are better and there were small refinements to the power delivery on the 2021. Also is there a built-in hour meter or an indication of how many charge cycles it has done?
