The most powerful model ever designed by Electric Motion has pure performance!
EM has designed a new engine offering inertia, torque
(1400Nm) and power (up to 18kW) simply unmatched in trials. The arrival of the 4-speed gearbox offers unlimited possibilities in both areas - trials and excursion.
The FACTOR-e's battery is 100% new and has been designed by Electric Motion's top engineering department. With new-gen Li-Ion, the performance and lifespan of the battery exceeds all expectations.
The FACTOR-e comes with a brand new long-range 2500Wh version in the same size battery case as the smaller version!
The bike offers a pre-programmed mapping system but is also 100% customizable with EM Connect. The Epure FACTOR-e is accessible to all!
It all started in Electric Motion's R&D department. After 15 years experience in electric propulsion in the off-road sector and more specifically in trials, our ambition was to offer 'THE' trial bike.
The origins of this powertrain date back to 2021. Since then, our engineering teams and Marc COLOMER in particular, have been working hard designing,
testing, improving, optimizing and enhancing the reliability of this brand-new powertrain.
Marc COLOMER, former Trials World Champion, is in charge of bike development working closely with EM's expert design engineers.
3 years of research, data analysis, laboratory tests, trials on different tracks, tested by riders of all levels right up to the very highest... Everything has been done to design the best trial powertrain unit ever
made.
For EM, this propulsion had to be the most efficient at the highest level but also the most accessible, and only electric power can achieve this.
NEW ENGINE
The Epure FACTOR-e is equipped with a new powertrain designed 100% by EM. Innovative, it combines two technologies:
The advantage of an electric motor with instant low-end torque.
A power profile similar to a petrol bike, combining performance and riding pleasure.
This engine has an unmatched power-to-weight ratio (3.3kW/kg), an engine speed capable of reaching 14000rpm, power of up to 18kW, torque of 1400Nm in first gear, all in specially designed oil pan to integrate this motor.
The high-performance rotor is surrounded by a carbon sleeve to hold the magnets in at extreme rotation speeds.
The air-cooling system has been designed to provide homogeneous and controlled heat dissipation.
Engine noise has been optimized to provide a very quiet and pleasant transmission, thanks to reduced friction. Last but not least, the engines 40% extra inertia gain strongly enhances the roundness and power of the engine.
NEW GEARBOX
The 4-speed gearbox is an essential asset - not only for performance, but also for control and precision.
This innovative gearbox allows the rider to adapt to the bike's behaviour depending on the type of track, offering a versatile use:
1st (Trial):
Trials sections with clear steps and obstacles, precision is essential and the bike becomes dynamic and reactive.
2nd (Natural Trial):
The bike is more progressive, with more control and more grip in the obstacles, especially in the preparation before and after obstacles. Traction is accentuated, with a speed more suited to natural
obstacles and/or long climbs.
3rd (Mixed):
This gear has been designed for mixed use - for both trial and excursion. (We get the same behaviour as our Epure Race model).
4th (Excursion):
Ideal speed for riding between long lap trial sections and excursions thanks to its top speed and driving pleasure, allowing the rider to cruise at a comfortable speed on a trickle of throttle with appreciable mid to
high rpm power whilst reducing power consumption
NEW TRANSMISSION
The huge acceleration capacity combined with the gearbox, offers infinity possibilities!
The Epure FACTOR-e is equipped with a new secondary transmission with 520 chain and a reinforced swing arm to subsist with the 1400Nm of torque.
Finally, the use of this gearbox also means lower energy consumption in fast use, efficiency being one of the priorities of this new propulsion unit.
The engine alone weighs 5kg. The propulsion unit, inertia, clutch, gearbox, sensors, oil pans are a combined 3kg lighter than our former propulsion unit.
NEW CLUTCH
A new engine, gearbox AND a new clutch!
Equipped with a triple-disc hydraulic diaphragm system, this new clutch gains in precision and responsiveness, and can handle the power and torque of the brand new engine.
NEW BATTERY
Our previous-generation battery offered one of the best weight-to-range ratios, however, at EM we are determined to maintain our technological lead with this new battery, developed in France at our factory.
The latest Li-Ion technology has been integrated by our R&D teams, along with a new PCB + Bus-bar connection system.
All the software has been improved for more safety,
longevity and performance.
New casing, new side protection, new charging socket, new waterproof quick connectors, new "battery swap" system... Everything has been redesigned and revised to ensure the best performance, final touches
and durability.
SUSPENSION
The new TECH shock used by the best riders in the world, developed by Marc COLOMER and approved by Gael CHATAGNO is installed on the Epure FACTOR-e.
This shock provides optimized traction and precise rear-end feeling.
It comes with two settings, one for rebound adjustment (24 clicks), and one for spring preload (from 1mm to 10mm max).
The whole suspension system has been redesigned in line with the new weight and weight distribution.
FRAME
Our specialist team also worked on the frame for the new Epure FACTOR-e. The steering-column assembly has been redesigned and stiffened to further enhance steering precision and the triple clamps have new offsets for a more dynamic front end.
