EM (Electric Motion)

Gents, very interested in going electric and just wondered what’s the position regarding riding an EM Escape (or a Oset 24) on the road in the UK? Is it possible to register these?

Hi. I'm a user of Bertigo in South Korea. I'm asking you questions because I'm interested in the Electric Motion racing version. I wonder if there is a difference between the trial and the force of 300cc exhaust. There's no electric trials in South Korea. I have no choice but to access information on YouTube. I felt a little less powerful than the Slingshot engine 300cc. So I'm curious. Let me know.

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how the ePure (particularly the Race, but they look to share the same structure) clutch and primary reduction is laid out? From the pics I can find it looks as if the clutch is on the motor output shaft, before the reduction? Is it a wet clutch? If it's wet then it would be interesting to see how they've dealt with input and output from the clutch. Is the primary reduction still belt? And they talk about adjustable flywheel - do they have a flywheel in there somewhere now, or weights that go on the clutch or motor? They certainly look like they've stepped up a level with the Race.

I've always loved the thought of an electric trials bike but said that I'd wait until it had a proper clutch. Now, with being on lockdown, I've had a little ride in the garden (on my petrol bike) and it's underlined how awesome it would be to have an electric bike. But, I've got a couple of questions/musings that I wonder if people have experience enough to answer: 1. Gears.. they exist for a reason - before the coronavirus hit, I was doing a fair bit of practice in mud. I learned quite quickly how important it is to use the gears to maintain grip. Using 3rd when I might be in 1st in the dry, and using 4th (with clutch) for big climbs for example. Now, with…

The manual says "If you want to store the battery pack, you have to take some measures..." Before storage, the battery pack must be charged; Be sure 100% the battery pack is switched off; Recharge the battery pack every 4 week, even it is not used; Do not store the battery pack under 10°C (50F) or over 40°C (104F); Do not store the battery pack in wet atmosphere; Do not store the battery pack exposed to the sun; Remove the battery pack if necessary. note the "if" - I wonder if that is mandatory, highly recommended, or truly optional. Does anyone leave their bike over the winter in the garage, below 50F, without storing the battery?

I have recently purchased one new and quite surprised there is no manual or anything with it so did anyone else get one with theirs?

It looks like EMotion is upping their game.

Hi Everyone, I've been wanting to upgrade my sons 36v lite to Lipo. Knowing the stock motor fitted is 1200w 48v (advertised as running at 900w on 36v) I knew there was no issue with the motor. I have electrical knowledge but not very much expertise with regards to electronics. I do all this knowing that one by one I may have to replace the controller and other componets etc. Having installed the LIPO's charged to 48v and switching on the machine, I heard the relay click but then nothing. No burnt out controller. I tried the 36v batteries back in and everything worked fine. I know the throttle's can be voltage specific so have ordered the 48v version. …

E Motion website seems a bit glitchy..... https://www.electric-motion.fr/glitch That bike looks like it has an exhaust!? ??

Does anyone know if the parts for em 5.7 such as brake pads calipers etc...are from another brand ,sherco gas gas, not easy to find any info Thanks Brian

I ride classic trials in AHRMA and mountain bike. I live on acreage and I have been building a lot of technical trials section and mountain bike trails. I have a TL125 and a Sherpa T. I find that the motorcycles don't handle the tight downhill trails as well as my mountain bike. The feel too big. I am looking for an electric trials bike that can ride my trails. Do any of you with experience think that the Oset 24 might be a better fit than an EM? I have seen video of it ridden by adults and it looks about the same size as a mountain bike. I thought it would be easier to move around and lift in tight sections.

Has anyone got any experience of converting an existing petrol bike to electric? Any advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated

I just bought a lightly used 2016 EM Sport 5.7. I have very little trials experience; had a Cota 349 sidecar for a while. I had a hard time getting passengers (they kept running away screaming). So I took off the hack and rode it solo a bit. Did a few vintage events and got hooked but never really liked the bike. Life got in the way and I sold the rig. I'm about to retire and this became available just as I thinned the herd (sold an FZ-09). So far I love the convenience and simplicity of electric. I'm looking forward to riding an event next year.

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.

Looking at my first trials bike and I’m going electric so I can ride on my own property. My local dealer has a new ‘16 sport for $1500 off MSRP. I’m torn if I should scoop that up or get an ‘18. Are the motor improvements that significant or any other refinements that would make a new ‘18 a better option?

I could be in the market for a electric trials bike. like the EM 5.7 , is there any upgrades from the 2017, is the 2018 out yet ?. EM web site or Facebook page don't give much new info. I do like what I'm hearing on the new Mecatecno T18. any info from you electric bike guys out there.

Anybody know the difference between the 2016 & 2017 versions of the Sport?

I noticed they are no longer mentioned on Ryan Young's page and I thought he was the US importer. The EM link on Lewisports page is throwing a 404 error. The dealer listing on the Electric Motion page doesn't list Ryan as a dealer. In fact it shows no US importer at the moment. What'd I miss?

So who will be the first owner to lay out a couple of sections in the local club trial at which only they can ride, a nifty way of winning a trial I fancy. In fact if it's the last section you'd have not only cleaned it but you and the bike as well !

Is it possible to charge an EM off an inverter from a car? Anyone know specification of the charger? Is there an optional charger that might be plugged into a running vehicle?
