Company History
Electric Motion brought silence and precision to trials, a discipline where traction and balance trump horsepower. Their bikes focus on controllable torque from zero rpm, nuanced maps, and regenerative braking that mimics engine braking without heat and noise. Lightweight frames, quality suspension, and solid waterproofing make them competition-ready and trail-friendly. EM widened trials’ appeal—training in noise-sensitive areas, easier maintenance—and influenced how riders think about EV feel: that electric can be delicate and communicative rather than binary.
