Product Information

Full details

The Vitus E-Escarpe is designed for mountain bikers and trail enthusiasts who want a high-performance, pedal-assist machine that mimics the handling of a traditional analog trail bike. It excels at tackling steep, technical climbs and nimble descents, making it an ideal choice for singletrack and after-work laps; however, riders should keep in mind that the inclusion of the Shimano EP801 motor and battery adds weight compared to a non-electric trail bike, requiring adjustments in handling during tight technical maneuvers.

FAQs

How long does a full charge take?

Charging times can vary depending on the battery level, but typically a full charge for the 630Wh battery takes several hours using the standard charger.

Can I ride the E-Escarpe in the rain?

Yes, the electrical components are designed to be weather-resistant, but avoid fully submerging the bike or using high-pressure power washers directly on the motor/battery interface.

How do I tune the motor performance?

You can customize the power delivery, torque, and acceleration characteristics using the Shimano E-Tube Project app on your smartphone.

Is the geometry similar to the non-electric Escarpe?

Yes, the E-Escarpe was built using the original Escarpe geometry as a base, with small modifications made to accommodate the motor system while maintaining the same handling feel.

Does the bike come with a warranty?

Warranty coverage is provided by the manufacturer. Please check your specific purchase documentation or the Vitus website for detailed terms and conditions.

Can I swap the battery out on the trail?

The E-Escarpe features an internal battery. While it is removable for maintenance or off-bike charging, it is not designed to be swapped quickly during a trail ride.

Troubleshooting

Motor assistance feels inconsistent

Check the connection between the battery and the motor, and ensure the Shimano software is updated via the mobile app.

Brakes feel mushy or weak

The hydraulic lines may have trapped air; perform a brake bleed or have a professional technician inspect the brake pads for wear.

Battery will not charge

Verify that the charging port is free of debris and that the charger is firmly plugged into both the outlet and the bike battery.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience, start by checking your tire pressure and suspension sag based on your body weight. The Shimano EP801 system can be configured via a smartphone app, which allows you to customize power profiles for different trail conditions. Keep the battery contacts clean and dry to ensure a good connection, and always ensure the battery is locked securely into the frame before starting your ride. Regular maintenance should include checking the drivetrain for wear, bleeding the hydraulic brakes as needed, and ensuring all suspension pivots are clean and greased. We recommend professional servicing for the motor system once a year to keep the software and mechanical components optimized.
