The proliferation of electric trial motorcycles and the rapid evolution they are demonstrating make these models an increasingly important alternative for the practice of Trial.
Electric Motion is a French company founded by Philippe Aresten, motivated to offer an eco-friendly solution equipped with the latest technology in electric propulsion. A course that many automotive sectors already have as a strong reference for the future and that in Trial needs a boost of confidence to satisfy a very demanding consumer in terms of performance.
In 2017, Electric Motion presents a catalogue made up of four versions that differ from each other mainly in terms of their pretensions and the target audience to which they are directed.
Electric Motion’s 2017 range consists of the EM Lite, EM Sport, EM Escape and EM Treck models
ELECTRIC MOTION PRESENTATION 2019
The first model in the 2019 catalogue is the
Electric Motion EPure
, which debuted at the 2018 French GP with a racing prototype driven by Christophe Bruand and Takumi Narita.
ELECTRIC MOTION LITE
The EM Lite represents the first step in the range in terms of price and accessibility. It is a version that sacrifices sporty aspects for the sake of offering greater comfort, balance and robustness. It is an ideal option to get started in the world of trials and enjoy the mountains with full guarantee of fun.

ELECTRIC MOTION SPORT & SPORT +
The spirit of the EM Sport is based on competition.
