Take a look at the first ever indepth review of the long anticipated Electric zmotion Escape X prototype bike. This bike took Spencer Wilton to the top podium and got him a #1 AMA E-moto plate at the 2023 TKO hard enduro.

Thank you for the vid. and very glad that all of you are ok after the terrible and sad news from Hawai !!!!

[@electricmotionhawaii]

mahalo for your concern

[@ArvelShults]

WOW!!!! Some good info there, thanks John for sharing!!!!!

[@crankydad.6769]

why don't they get ride of that signature frame tube design at head tube? Fork stops should have rubber bumpers, maybe they fell off. Did you sit on the bike? Is it any longer? Awesome bike, hope it comes out soon.

Thanks for this great video! What is your impression of the capability of this bike vs your typical 300 for hard enduro for an average B level rider? I'm 50+ years old, pretty average skills, and just looking for something lighter/slightly smaller than my 300 (which I love, but is just too much weight when I have to get off and push (which is a LOT.) My skills are not likely to improve too much at my age and with the limited time to practice that I have, but I love the challenge of the hard enduro trails. TIA

82v!!

Hi, thank-you for another informative video on the EscapeX . I have one question regarding my EscapeR, which is equipped with the stock 4.00" Pirelli X11 tire at the rear: if I wanted to replace that tire with one that is more mud-oriented, given the limited inner width of the swing arm, do you think that a 100/100 tire would fit? I'm afraid that a 110/100 may not but you have certainly more experience than me with respect to that. Thank-you.

[@electricmotionhawaii]

Thank you for the encouragement. A knoby will be the best way to go, and as the video shows, you can fit a 120/90 tire, which is kinda odd size. It really depends on the thread profile, but more importantly, a regular knobby will not hold its bead on a tubeless wheel very well. If you do not get another standard wheel, you will need to drill another hole for rim lock or tubeless or mousse. Check out my enduro mod vids from 2021. Drilling the tubeless wheel is a tough decision, but if you are not intending on going back to a full tubeless trials tire, go for it.

[@knobbytrails577]

@@electricmotionhawaii Thank-you so much for your quick and thorough reply. In fact I had not taken into account the need to drill an additional hole in the tubeless rim, which may even be difficult to do given the central "ridge" that runs around the inside of the rim itself. Anyway, a 100/100 size tire would likely fit regardless of the thread profile, not so sure about a 120/90 though, which may need shaving off the side knobs a bit.

Is this a factory prototype or is it private? Is it going to be available to the public?

[@electricmotionhawaii]

Factory Prototype unfortunately

[@srrtbb]

No riding video of this yet? I have a feeling this will cost around $10k. Surron Ultra might be a bargain compared to this.

[@electricmotionhawaii]

Haven't gotten it in the USA yet 😕

[@mitchrichardson744]

That new 72v battery, is it also bigger? Like more kWh? I'm hoping it will have more range than my current Escape R.

[@electricmotionhawaii]

slightly larger ... its 3.2WH

[@mitchrichardson744]

@@electricmotionhawaii dang. I was hoping for more. Or at least a quick change option or a add on bottle battery like Specialized does with their ebikes

[@electricmotionhawaii]

@mitchrichardson744 the main issues with additional batteries like bottle shapes are that they can get the voltage but not the amperage to run the bike. In theory a Ego battery 58v can run the EM but the voltage sag would shut it off in a few minutes

the welds look a bit sloppy (I'm not an expert, but I have seen nicer)
