Important observations and general information
3.1 Emission information
The development of the Epure by Electric Motion has made it possible to obtain
a zero emission motorcycle that does not emit any harmful particles for the
environment. Therefore, it has no exhaust or evaporative emission. This
motorcycle does not use gasoline, engine oil or any other liquid fuel.
3.2 Manufacturer’s warranty and legal warranty
All the work detailed in the maintenance guide must be carried out exclusively
by a professional in order to retain the warranty right.
The warranty is cancelled in the event of damages resulting from manipulation
or modification on the vehicle made by a person not certified by Electric
Motion.
For additional information on the manufacturer’s warranty and how to obtain
it, contact Electric Motion customer service.
3.3 Vehicle range
The Epure range is defined as the distance the vehicle travels on a single
full charge of the battery. It is then easy to understand that the range of
the vehicle depends on how it is used. The more conservative you ride, the
better range you can expect from your motorcycle.
There are many factors affecting the range, such as speed, acceleration,
number of regenerative braking, weather conditions, tire pressure and payload.
For the first use of your Epure, you are advised to remain cautious so you
become fully aware of the range of your vehicle according to your driving
style. After you were able to make your own idea about the potential of the
Epure model, you can adapt your driving style to the range you would like to
achieve.
USER MANUAL – 2022

The range values in this manual are measured according to different standards, which may vary depending on the country of use.
In order to improve the range of your vehicle, all these characteristics must be considered:
Low range Travelling at high speed
Bad road condition Important elevation Aggressive driving Important payload
Cold temperature Adverse weather conditions Under inflated tires Poor general
maintenance of
the motorcycle
Important range Low speed travel Good road condition
Low elevation Smooth driving
Low payload Hot temperature Good weather conditions Properly inflated tires
Good general maintenance of the motorcycle
3.4 Transport of the vehicle
The transport of the motorcycle can be carried out with the help of an
approved trailer or a utility vehicle. It is important to ensure that the
motorcycle is securely fastened before transporting it on the public road. The
use of certified straps to maintain the motorcycle is recommended to avoid any
accidents related to the loss of the vehicle on public roads.
USER MANUAL – 2022
3.5 Spare parts and accessories
For safety reasons, we recommend that users of Epure only use spare parts and
accessories authorized and recommended by Electric-Motion and have them fitted
by a professional.
The company Electric Motion will decline any responsibility in case of
equipment deterioration caused by products not approved by the brand.

3.8 Parts and consumables
To maintain your vehicle, it is important to use parts and consumables (lubricants and maintenance products) in accordance with the specifications given in the user manual.
3.9 Operation under extreme conditions
The Epure is not sensitive to water and rain. However, care must be taken to ensure that the water level on the road being ridden does not exceed the foot- rest height.
In the event the rider is stopped on a road with a high level of water, it is
necessary to turn off the motorcycle to avoid a short circuit or a breakdown.
The Epure can be used over a wide range of temperatures: -15°C to +55°C (5°F
to 131°F).
USER MANUAL – 2022
The battery life of the Epure model depends on the operating temperature:
Operating temperature (°C) Decrease in battery range

Use of the vehicle in extreme conditions (sand, mud) leads to premature wear
of the motorcycle’s consumables (chain, brake pads, various bearings). It is
then necessary to carry out the checks and the maintenance operations more
often than prescribed in the manual of use.
High continuous solicitation ride can lead to a power and speed limitation to
manage internal temperature. In this case, reduce the solicitation to continue
ride.

7.9 Battery pack
Epure Battery
Escape Battery
The battery is inside the battery pack. The casing of the battery pack makes it possible to protect all the cells composing the battery against the aggressions of the external environment. Up to a certain limit, the battery pack is protected against splashes of water, dust and other harmful elements for the battery (rain, driving in dry weather). However, the user must be careful not to use the Epure motorcycle under extreme conditions, otherwise the vehicle may be damaged irreversibly (full immersion of the motorcycle).
The battery pack uses a set of lithium-ion cells assembled in series. These elements have been tested to obtain the best performance while maintaining maximum reliability.
USER MANUAL – 2022
It is important to note that the maximum capacity of the battery will be
obtained after about 10 cycles of full charge / discharge of the vehicle.
The battery pack is dimensioned to achieve the best possible reliability /
performance ratio. It is possible, however, that certain maintenance
operations will be carried during the lifetime of the vehicle. All work on the
electric components of the motorcycle, and especially on the battery pack, is
accompanied with risks of causing electric arcs if precautions are not taken.
Working on the electric components of the motorcycle requires special
training, qualifications and tools. Therefore, all work that is not explicitly
described in this manual, and which concerns an electronic device, must be
carried out only by an Electric Motion qualified electrician.
Do not open the motor or the vehicle battery pack. If there are any problems
with these items, contact Electric Motion Customer Service.
When receiving the motorcycle, it is important to charge the battery pack
according to the recommended battery charging procedure.
Be sure to turn off the motorcycle after each use or whenever the motorcycle
is not used for a long period of time. Make sure that all the lights are
turned off when the ignition key is switched off.
21
Please check the battery housing state after use and above all after a fall.
Battery management system (BMS)
The BMS (battery management system) is an internal component of the battery
pack. It allows the management and the control of all the battery cells during
charging and discharging of the vehicle. The BMS therefore protects the
battery with the help of an electric safety relay.
The main roles of the BMS are therefore:
– Prevent the charge of the battery when the outside temperature is below 0°C
(50°F). – Prevent the charge of the battery when the outside temperature is
above 45°C (113°F). – Prevent the discharge of the battery when the outside
temperature is below -15°C (5°F). – Prevent the discharge of the battery when
the outside temperature is above 55°C (131°F). – Allow a uniformly distributed
charge of all cells in the battery pack. – Optimize charging and discharging
of the battery.
The BMS is a vital component of the motorcycle for its good working order. Do
not try to modify it by any means.
USER MANUAL – 2022
Battery charge level The battery pack is connected to the dashboard and
therefore allows the display of the state of charge directly on the dashboard.
The battery charge indicator is composed of 8 bars indicating the range of the
motorcycle. As you approach the last bar, the low battery indicator LED lights
up indicating that you reached a low battery charge level:
22
Battery level indicator OFF ROAD version (hors UE)
When this indicator light turns on, the battery is in low voltage, which means
that the motorcycle can cut off in order to prevent any damages to the cells.
It is important to avoid excessive speeds and abrupt accelerations when the
low battery indicator lights up and to reach a charging station as fast as
possible.
If you plan on using any highway and depending on the battery charge left and
the distance left to travel, check first that there is a charging station on
your way or that there is a highway exit, so you don’t get stranded.
An option exists where the battery level indicator is located on the center of
the handlebar (option OFF ROAD KIT).
The battery level indicator goes in sleep mode after 10 second, to display
again the battery percentage level, you have to push the main button located
directly on the center of the display.
To have a precise value of the battery percentage, it’s necessary to do not
ride with the bike for almost 1 minute (bike still ON), and then push the main
battery level button to see the percentage.
It’s possible that the display switch it on during ride, do not take care of
the displayed value.
Not any high pressure washing on this display.
USER MANUAL – 2022
23
It is important to avoid excessive speeds and abrupt accelerations when the
battery level is under 20% and to reach a charging station as fast as
possible.
7.10 Battery charger

9.4 Braking
The front brake lever, located on the right hand side of the handlebars,
brakes only the front wheel. The rear brake lever located near to the right
footpeg brake the rear wheel. The brake levers control the brakes when the
lever is squeezed. It is important to be fully aware of the motorcycle’s
braking capacities for safe driving on public roads. To brake properly, under
normal traffic conditions, first close the throttle. Then brake using
simultaneously the front and rear brake levers for strong braking.
When braking, the throttle grip must be in the closed position (acceleration
stopped).
Braking too strongly causes the wheels to lock and makes the motorcycle
dangerously uncontrollable. It is necessary to adapt your braking to the
situation and to the pavement condition.
Check the condition of the brake system before each use. A wet or dirty brake
system greatly reduces braking performance. Clean and degrease the system if
grease or dirt is present.
If there is any doubt about the condition of the brake system, contact
Electric Motion customer service.
