Electric Motion surprised last January with the presentation of the Electric Motion Factor-E, taking advantage of the presentation of its new factory and understanding that the project had reached the desired point of maturity to see the light.
At a time when Electric Motion is the leader in its segment and manufactures more motorcycles than most trial brands with thermal motorcycles, it seemed unnecessary to renew an EPure that is already very evolved and competitive. Perhaps the time had come to take a step forward in high competition and satisfy the most demanding drivers, but with characteristics that would maintain the persuasion of their great target audience: the fans. In other words, we had to build a bike capable of everything and also capable of being very docile.
At Trialworld we received unit number 2 manufactured in series and we have been able to cover more than 20 hours at the controls, touching parameters, riding on different terrains and getting a lot of feedback from other fellow testers. So, with this, we are in a position to present this test in depth, complemented by two videos: one, of more than an hour, with Marc Colomer explaining all the details of the project and its possibilities, and another of ours where we explain the EM Connect, as well as our conclusions after the test.
Let’s first review what these changes are.
Chassis ELECTRIC MOTION FACTOR-E
First of all, it has been decided to incorporate a new chassis and it makes perfect sense. The new engine provides another, more efficient weight distribution and therefore it was necessary to recompose both the position and the engine anchors to achieve a perfect weight distribution. In addition, it has been further strengthened if possible, thinking about the demands of high competition (TrialGP) where the brand wants to be in 2025.
As a result, the bodywork is also modified, which has a similar shape to the EPURE. We also have new features in the rear axle, where TECH has been entrusted with the damping system on both axles, thus abandoning the REIGER that is still in force this 2024 in the EPURE RACE.
Other components are also new, such as the 520 pitch chain (428 so far), as well as certain components signed by S3 Parts.
Power train ELECTRIC MOTION FACTOR-E
On a mechanical level, everything is completely new. Starting with the engine block, where more inertia capacity, torque and increased revs have been sought. This translates into data such as that it is able to offer a 1,400NM torque in first gear (almost twice as high as a 2-stroke motorcycle) and Scale up to 17,000 rpm. It’s more practical data, the power of this Electric Motion FACTOR-E reaches up to 25hp, which is about five or six hp more than an equivalent combustion engine.
The battery (1.8 kWh and optional 2.5 kWh) is also new at all levels: housing, button, anchors, connections and interior cells. The aim has been to increase the range, which is equivalent to about 60 kilometres, increase the performance and reliability of the set. This battery is removed in just 30 seconds.
The engine retains the mechanical clutch, but now with Kevlar discs and a completely new configuration, developed by the prestigious Xiu, guaranteeing reliability and durability.
Perhaps the great novelty is the four-speed gearbox, replacing the automatic gearbox that we currently see in the EPURE range. This gearbox also has a neutral center.
The controller, the brain of the power train, is also completely new. It has three power maps that are completely custom-configured via EM CONNECT, an application that allows you to customize the response, speed and power of the bike, also adding the option to activate TKO (idle) and also configure its rev and inertia regime.
EM Connect Technology
The EM Connect is an exclusive Electric Motion app that allows for extreme customization of the bike.
It acts on the controller and is capable of offering intrinsic data of the motorcycle for security, such as the chassis number, theft lock capacity, number of hours, charging cycles…
It can also be updated and carry out a study of the state of the electronics from the APP itself.
It also acts on general parameters of the bike, such as throttle travel, throttle dead travel or holding force.
All maps can also be manipulated in reactivity, speed and power, in addition to adjusting the idle (disconnectable) and the torque of the idle itself.
In the video we explain these parameters better.
