The world of electric motorcycles is rapidly evolving, and Electric Motion is at the forefront, especially in the off-road segment. The French manufacturer, known for its prowess in electric motorsports, has unveiled its latest creation, the Escape X, designed for off-road exploration. With a focus on accessibility for both beginner and intermediate riders, the Escape X represents a fusion of innovation and adventure. Electric Motion’s journey in the off-road sector is noteworthy. Their participation in prestigious events like the FIM E-Xplorer and the Scottish Six Days Trial, where they made history as the first electric manufacturer to compete, underscores their commitment to pushing the boundaries of electric mobility in sports. Their upcoming factory in Southern France, set to open in January 2024, is a testament to their growth and ambition.
The Escape X, the new star in Electric
Motion’s lineup, is more than just a dirtbike. It’s a symbol of a sustainable
future, merging eco-consciousness with the thrill of riding. Available in two
variants, X and XR, it caters to varying levels of expertise. The heart of this
machine is its mid-mounted electric motor. The standard version offers a power
output of six kilowatts, going up to 11 kilowatts, equivalent to 15 horsepower.
The XR variant pushes this further to 12 kilowatts or about 16 horsepower.
What’s striking is the 35-millimeter inverted front forks, providing an
impressive 250 millimeters of travel, enhancing its off-road capability.
Battery life and efficiency are crucial in
electric vehicles. The Escape X addresses this with a 50.4-volt battery
boasting a 3,500-watt-hour capacity and a lifespan of 1,000 charge cycles. It’s
not just about power; it’s about endurance. Safety and technology are not
overlooked. The Escape series comes equipped with a traction control system, a
progressive regenerative braking system for better control and range, and an
anti-reverse feature for challenging inclines. A full-color TFT display keeps
the rider informed of vital stats, ensuring a blend of technology and safety.
It’s a great package of features through and through
