Essence E-Raw Signature - Electric Motorcycle

The Essence E-Raw Signature is a high-performance electric motorcycle by ESSENCE Motocycles, a French builder that treats electrification not as a compromise but as a starting point for redefining what a motorcycle can feel like.

The Concept

ESSENCE Motocycles began with a question: what does a motorcycle become when you remove the combustion engine and refuse to simply copy the result? The E-Raw Signature is their answer. Rather than mimicking petrol performance figures, ESSENCE went back to the core of the riding experience: the connection between rider and machine, the directness of power delivery, the purity of a chassis unencumbered by a gearbox. The result is a machine that appeals to riders who have always cared about how a motorcycle feels, not just what it runs on. The name "E-Raw" reflects that philosophy: electric, but unfiltered.

The Ride

With an 80 kW brushless synchronous motor producing 210 Nm of torque, the E-Raw Signature accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in under 3.5 seconds without a gearbox in the way. Power goes directly to the rear wheel via a carbon reinforced toothed belt, a transmission choice that is lighter, quieter, and more precise than chain or shaft alternatives. Suspension comes from Ohlins at both ends: an inverted fork up front and a mono shock rear, each adjustable for preload, rebound, and compression. Beringer Aerotec radial calipers handle braking front and rear. The tracker silhouette keeps weight at 167 kg, which given the torque figure translates to a genuinely involving ride dynamic.
