Electric Motion EM Escape SE: 100 % made in France and ready to conquer the electric market
If you are one of those who love freedom on two wheels without the noise of a combustion engine, then you should pay attention to the new Electric Motion EM Escape SE. Unveiled at the Motorcycle Show in Lyon, this French machine has a clear goal: to compete with the Sur-Ron Ultra Bee. Designed for off-road and road-legal, it could be the perfect bike for those looking for fun without breaking the budget. Let’s take a look at this beast!
An impressive motor
When it comes to electric bikes, what matters is power. And in this regard, the EM Escape SE does not disappoint. With its 6 kW nominal motor and 11 kW peak, it has what it takes to enjoy both trails and asphalt. It may not be the brand’s most high-performance motor, but it’s more than enough to provide good sensations.
What about the top speed? 75 km/h. It’s not enough to compete with a sport bike, but it’s more than adequate for having fun and commuting peacefully through the city or on back roads. The advertised range is 61 km per charge, which is reasonable for mixed use. As for recharging, it takes 3 hours and 20 minutes to fill the battery with energy.
A robust chassis
Adventurers will appreciate the chassis of the EM Escape SE. With its Michelin Anakee Wild tires of 21 inches at the front and 18 inches at the rear, it promises good traction on any terrain. The 175 mm steel TECH fork and the 170 mm shock absorber ensure comfort, even on bumpy roads.
As for the brakes, there are no surprises: front and rear disc to ensure safe braking, whether in open fields or in the city. Weighing 82 kilograms, including the battery, it is agile and maneuverable, making it the ideal companion for those looking for an easy-to-handle bike.
Why could it challenge the Sur-Ron?
Although the Sur-Ron Ultra Bee has become a benchmark in affordable electric bikes, the EM Escape SE offers a significant advantage: it is 100% made in France. For those who want to support local talent while enjoying a serious alternative, this is a true plus.
Another point in its favor is its 125 homologation. Unlike some competitors that operate on the edge of road legality, here there are no worries. You can ride anywhere without fear of legal issues. Finally, in terms of price, it is expected to be a more accessible model than the premium options from Electric Motion, without sacrificing quality.
