Electric Motion presents the third edition of the EPure COMP, a limited version of only 100 units for the whole world that is manufactured only this June.
Before we go into the technical details, let’s explain how the Electric Motion range of trial bikes is configured:
- Electric Motion EPure: this model is not imported into Spain. It does not have a mechanical clutch and its performance is more limited. It is designed for an entry-level audience that is looking for a bike to “discover nature” and is capable of sacrificing performance in exchange for a more affordable price.
- Electric Motion EPure RACE: This is the most popular model. It is 95% in line with EPure COMP. It is equipped with a mechanical clutch, disengageable TKO (idle) system, 6 power maps, TECH suspension and top-notch components.
- Electric Motion EPure COMP: this is the limited version we are referring to in this report. Basically, it differs from the RACE in the rear shock (Reiger 3-way), the inclusion of improvements that we will see in the 2023 range and in an interesting list of “power parts” components of the chassis part.
NEW ARRIVALS Electric motion EPURE COMP 2023
In the new
Electric Motion EPure COMP 2023
we see an interesting list of novelties that are mainly aimed at increasing the performance of its mechanics. The new configuration allows a higher number of revolutions and torque to be achieved, so we are talking about, approximately, an increase equivalent to 2hp of power.
The system of 6 power maps is maintained. With a selector located on the left hand, the pilot selects between three maps, which are differentiated by colors.
Additionally, if a switch that is located in the central part of the bike is activated, 3 new power maps are activated, which in addition to receiving a “more racing” configuration, are equipped with the TKO system, which is an idle for all purposes. With this group of maps, the riding sensations are more similar to a thermal bike, as the engine offers extra inertia constantly. The difference in this 2023 is that now these 3 maps (RACE) have TKO, while in 2022 only 2 maps had TKO.
To complete this map change operation, it is no longer necessary to reactivate the controller, so the system of moving from one group of maps to another takes only a couple of seconds.
In this Electric Motion 2023 range, work has also been done on the clutch, which receives a new piston and configuration, looking for more power and a more immediate response.
Finally, in terms of mechanics, the throttle control and the engine cover on the right side are also new, with a black finish.
WHAT CHANGES IN THE CYCLE PART?
As for the chassis of the new Electric Motion EPure COMP 2023, we have interesting news.
First of all, the chassis debuts an attractive anthracite color. It is accompanied by a higher level suspension system than in the Race, with a TECH “Factory” fork and a Reiger rear shock with 3-way, also top of the range of the brand.
In addition, it incorporates “power parts” components from the auxiliary industry, such as S3 Parts, in the field of handlebars, footpegs, eccentrics, pump covers, footpegs and transmission crown.
Finally, it debuts a new “ COMP Limited Edition 2023″ livery.
The Electric Motion EPure COMP 2023 is priced at €12,500 and there are two units available at the Trialworld Store.

Mechanical clutch EM EPure comp
Why does this bike need to idle? It is not really necessary for most cases, but the riders of the Trial-E World Championship have successfully tested this system, as it brings extra inertia to the engine and the riding is much more similar to an internal combustion bike.
Basically, you can see it on consecutive or large steps, where this extra rev helps you in the last section of the obstacle.
One of the consequences of selecting maps with TKO is that the rider works more with the mechanical clutch that the EPure incorporates in its Race and Comp versions. A diaphragm clutch system that works exactly the same as on combustion engines.
While on maps without TKO we could drive without touching the clutch at any time, with the device actuated it is necessary to modulate all the power more precisely. In short, these are two competition maps.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE LITHIUM BATTERY
The lithium battery of the Electric Motion EPure Race has a capacity of 1.9Wh, giving it a range of approximately 3 hours on the move and the ability to recharge in less than 3 hours. If we talk about equivalences, with a full battery charge we have something less than what represents a tank and a half of gasoline in an internal combustion motorcycle.
The battery can be detached in just a couple of minutes to charge it in a different place from where the bike is located.
CYCLE PART electric motion epure comp 2023
The suspension scheme is another of the great differentiating points of the Electric Motion EPure Comp. At the front , the Tech fork is equipped with aluminium bars.
Behind us we also have improvements, as it equips the REIGER shock absorber with a three-way system.
PRBR BRAKING AND LOAD REGENERATION SYSTEM
The Electric Motion EPure COMP 2023 offers the PRBR system as an option. It consists of a small lever that is placed on the clutch cover and allows a double function.
On the one hand, it is a progressive brake that acts on the rear brake, so we now have a handbrake. On the other hand, at the same time as it is activated, charge is regenerated in the battery.
The difference with the regenerative brake button lies in the fact that the latter is not progressive, but an on-off switch, while the lever does allow you to modulate the force with which the braking system is applied.
APPROVAL & PRICE
The Electric Motion EPure COMP 2023, like the entire range of the brand, has Euro5 homologation, is registrable and can be driven with a B (two years of experience) or A1 license.
The price of the Electric Motion EPure COMP 2023 is €11,900.
