Electric Motion EM Escape SE: 100% Made in France and Ready to Conquer the Electric Market
If you’re the type who loves the idea of freedom on two wheels without revving a gasoline engine, then you’ll want to keep an eye on the new Electric Motion EM Escape SE. Unveiled at the Two-Wheel Show in Lyon, this French-made bike aims directly at competing with the Sur-Ron Ultra Bee. Designed for off-road adventures but also road-legal, it might just be the perfect ride for those looking to have fun without breaking the bank. Let’s check out this beast!
A Motor That Packs a Punch
When it comes to electric bikes, it’s all about the power. And in this regard, the EM Escape SE does not disappoint. Boasting a 6 kW nominal motor and 11 kW peak power, it’s equipped to thrill you on both trails and asphalt. It might not be the latest high-performance motor from the brand, but it’s more than enough to deliver the excitement you’re looking for.
Top speed? 46 mph. It won’t outgun a sport bike, but it’s more than sufficient for fun rides and city cruising. The stated range is 38 miles per charge, which is decent for mixed usage. As for charging, you’ll need about 3 hours and 20 minutes to replenish the energy reserves.
A Chassis Built to Last
Riders who love the adventure mode are going to appreciate the chassis of the EM Escape SE. Fitted with Michelin Anakee Wild tires at 21 inches in the front and 18 inches at the rear, it promises solid traction on every terrain. With a 175 mm TECH steel fork and a 170 mm shock absorber, it’s designed to handle the rough and tumble of rugged trails comfortably.
In terms of braking, there’s nothing to worry about: disc brakes on both the front and rear ensure sharp stopping power, whether you’re in the wild or in the city. Weighing in at just 181 pounds including the battery, it remains nimble and agile, making it a perfect ally for anyone seeking an easy-to-handle bike.
Why It Could Challenge the Sur-Ron
While the Sur-Ron Ultra Bee has become a staple in the world of accessible electric bikes, the EM Escape SE comes with a significant advantage: it’s 100% made in France. For those who want to support local craftsmanship while enjoying a serious alternative, that’s a real plus.
Another strong point is its 125cc road certification. Unlike some competitors who blur the lines of road legality, here, there’s no headache involved. You can ride anywhere without fear of legal hassles. Finally, in terms of price, you can expect a more accessible model compared to Electric Motion’s high-end versions, without sacrificing quality.
