Epure Race electric trials bike review via M0veElectric
For 2022, the clever French designers have also added six engine maps – three standard and three ‘race’ . Each map changes the engine characteristic and power delivery, from relatively docile and akin to an automatic 125cc petrol trials bike, to full race with clutch and TKO and more like a 300cc petrol equivalent.
Not so the Epure. Simply jet wash it, lube the drive chain and you're done. And, yes, the Epure can be ridden in deep water. I like the almost silent running of an electric trials bike; it means I can ride almost anywhere without disturbing people, wildlife or livestock. However, some will miss the noise. With no rev counter on a trials bikes, many riders learn their craft using the exhaust tone as an indication of revs, while traditionalists claim they ride by ear. However, I’d argue this point.
The Epure makes easy work of the first section and compliments the rider. I don’t have to worry about gears or clutch and I can clearly hear my instructor’s advice. Stood up on the pegs there is a lovely balance to the bike, and the throttle is smooth, not snappy. With the clutch in, you can hear the electric motor increase in revs slightly; this is the new TKO, or tick over. Without touching the throttle, you can release the clutch and slowly move forward . To increase the speed you can either simply accelerate or add some clutch for a burst of torque. It's a revelation; the light clutch and new TKO have made the Epure even easier to ride, and the very light, one-finger clutch makes it more natural for ‘old school’ riders like myself.
