The Gnarly Explorer's bike
2023 Escape R
ULTIMATE POWER AND CONTROL
The Electric Motion ESCAPE “R” is the ultimate mixture of trial and trail.
It’s a combination of all our best parts, and when we add in it’s low eco-footprint and almost-silent operation, the gas-powered competition can’t even come close.
The most exciting feature of the ESCAPE “R” is its full-functioning Hydraulic Diaphragm Clutch.
Just like a gas bike, the clutch system on ESCAPE “R”lets the rider perfectly modulate the power; it is truly game-changing.
Add in the Hi-Capacity Battery and the seat, and you have a bike that can delivery hours of fun, performance, and comfort.
PRB ‘R’ technology is also available as an optional extra.
The Escape R has no limits… only the limits of the rider.
The 2023 model offers a major innovation with the appearance of the “Anti-Reverse” technology, and TKO in all maps.
*Model shown with European homologated lighting. Does NOT come with street-legal lighting.
Three maps to suit everyone
On of their newest innovations, Electric Motion motorcycles have simplified the bike's cockpit with a three mode control switch on the left side of the handlebars.
The switch block allows selection of the 3 x riding maps.
Green= reduced performance, smoother throttle response 60% of total power
Blue= full performance with more gradual throttle response 80% of total power
Red= full performance with quicker throttle response and 100% of total power
The grey button works to engage the fixed regeneration and the Anti- Reverse.
An emergency cut-off lanyard completes the left hand controls.
ANTI-Reverse
A significant new safety feature for 2023, all Electric Motion models now feature our Anti-Reverse system.
Anti-Reverse keeps the bike from rolling away in the event that the the rider fails a steep ascent.
At speeds from 0 to 3mph, the rider can instantly lock the back wheel by pushing the grey FRB button.
TKO Function
Straight from the racing department, the Escape is equipped with TKO, a major innovation for the rider.
With a simple flick of the switch, the rider can enable Tick Over, which enables an “idle” mode that turns the motor at a constant, sustained RPM without the throttle being turned.
With TKO mode enabled, the bike gains additional precision in acceleration and traction, allowing the rider better control of the power at low revs.
A major innovation in the 2023 bike is that TKO now is available also in Green Mode, as well as in Blue and Red Mode.
PRBR
An optional PRB “R” lever is available on the Epure Race that allows for the integration of EM’s Progressive Regenerative Braking system with the hydraulic clutch.
With the optional "PRB “R” installed, a small ergonomic lever mounts to the clutch master cylinder just above the clutch lever.
When the lever is pulled, it offers the performance of a progressive motor brake and regenerates the batter.
With a feel very similar to a handlebar-mounted rear brake, the farther the rider pulls the lever, the more the rear wheel slows down.
This brake system is very safe in extreme conditions, providing braking that is precise and controlled.
The PRB “R” lever does not interfere with the clutch lever action; the rider can use one or the other independently, or both at the same time.
State of the art components
On the right hand side we have a Braktek front brake unit, coupled with a Domino throttle.
The ePure Race is equipped with Michelin X11 tyres.
Nekken top-shelf handlebars are now standard.
Redesigned Rear Brake
Now made of aluminum for improved quality, better control surface, and more traction against your boot.
Unprecedented Grip
New linkage ratio for 2023 improve rear-suspension performance and increase rear wheel grip in all situations.
Equipped with a Tech Racing Aluminum fork as well as a brand new R16V rear shock absorber, this 2023 Epure Race model has the best equipment on the market. This pair of suspensions offers us a balanced and terribly playful motorcycle.
The industry-standard for reliability and function, the new TECH fork offers the Epure Race model enhanced front-end traction and increased performance. They are supple enough to glide over roots and rocky stream beds, yet they provide plenty of pop to unload over big obstacles and are able to soak up big drops.
The R16V 3 way Rear Shock features adjustable rebound dampening, compression and spring preload.
EM provides the ePure RACE with a high-end frame made of 15CDV6 steel tubes and micro fused pieces in 25CD4S. The frame itself weighs less than 5kg.
All conditions are there to live a breathtaking experience.
Diaphragm Clutch
Electric Motion was the first manufacturer to offer a fully-functioning Hydraulic Diaphragm Clutch to the general public.
This setup is a revolutionary advancement for the electric drivetrain , allowing the rider to perfectly modulate the motor’s power, load the suspension for big obstacles, and expertly control the rear wheel traction.
Epure Race’s hydraulic clutch makes it possible to conquer obstacles and clean sections that were never possible on an electric trials bike before.
The clutch can be adjusted in three levels of response to adapt the bike to the rider's needs.
2.6 KWh Battery
HI-CAPACITY BATTERY The extra-capacity battery on Escape allows you to have more fun, longer.
The 2620 Wh battery in Escape ensures you have enough juice to do all the exploring you want. With the included 15A charger, Escape takes 4.25 hours to charge.
In hurry to get back out there? Upgrade to the 25A Quick Charger to be back on the trail in just over 3 hours.
Nestled next to the handlebar pad, the digital charge indicator displays your remaining power level so you will always know how much juice you have left.
