English Electric Motor Co.

A UK dealership built exclusively around electric motorcycles

English Electric Motor Co. (EEMC) describes itself as the UK's premier 100% electric motorcycle specialist and states that it has operated under that focus since 2017. The business grew out of Old Empire Motorcycles, a multi award-winning workshop, and has since built a five-star reputation, in its own account, for the machines it prepares and the service it provides. The company reports having prepared, serviced and sold more than 1,000 electric motorcycles in the UK and having received multiple awards from manufacturers. It has also franchised the model into the southern hemisphere through Australian Electric Motor Co.

The range is organised by licence category and by use, covering road, off-road and youth models, with separate sections for new and used stock and for electric mopeds.

Brands and models on offer

The dealership lists new machines from Zero Motorcycles, Energica, VMoto (Super Soco), UBCO, Livewire, Maeving, Talaria, Stark and Torrot, alongside Sur-Ron in its off-road selection. The catalogue spans road-oriented models such as the Zero S, SR/F, SR/S and DSR/X, the Livewire S2 Alpinista, S2 Del Mar and S4 Honcho, the Maeving RM1 and RM2, and the Energica Ego+, EsseEsse 9+, Eva Ribelle and Experia. Off-road and trail options include the Stark VARG in EX, MX 1.2 and SM versions, the Talaria Sting range and Ultra Bee, and the Torrot MX and SM models. Smaller-format and CBT-oriented bikes include the CPx and CPX Pro, the UBCO 2X2 Adventure and 2X2 Work, and the Talaria X3 Mini.

Listings are filterable by licence type (A, A2, CBT16, CBT17 and other), by riding category (adventure, naked, sports, scooters, CBT, off-road and youth) and by brand and model. The site also carries a used-bike section and a facility to sell a motorcycle to the company.

Parts, accessories and technical support

EEMC presents itself as a one-stop shop for electric motorcycle parts and describes its parts operation as the UK's largest dedicated electric motorcycle parts service, shipping to riders and workshops worldwide. The inventory covers headlights, batteries, brake components, service items and hard-to-find replacement parts across a wide range of electric brands. A Parts Picker tool allows searches by make, model, year, part location or part number, and the team assists customers who cannot identify the item they need.

Delivery, demonstrations and mobile servicing

UK delivery is quoted as a flat fee of £199 including VAT, with international shipping calculated at the time of purchase. Demonstrations are offered by appointment only, Wednesday to Saturday each week, at the company's headquarters in Norfolk, and selected models can be tested through service and experience centres elsewhere in the UK. Doorstep demonstrations are also available from £499, with 50% rebated on purchase of a motorcycle.

Servicing is handled by a dedicated electric motorcycle team that supports sales, delivery and ongoing care for any brand in the range. The company states that it receives enquiries from riders across the country, from the Highlands to Cornwall, and has built a nationwide mobile electric workshop service to accompany it.

Finance, insurance and rider packages

Purchases can be spread through Hire Purchase or Personal Contract Purchase arranged with MotoNovo Finance, and the company offers a free finance check that it says does not impair the customer's credit score. For insurance, EEMC works with Lexham Insurance and Bikesure, both described as UK motorcycle insurance specialists with experience of electric machines; Lexham is noted as having operated for over 22 years with a UK-based call centre.

Additional packages advertised include an extended warranty, a security package and a recovery package. The site also publishes guides on which electric motorcycle a rider can ride, an electric versus fuel cost calculator, and owners' manuals.

Reputation and customer feedback

The website displays a rating of 4.9 based on 218 reviews and refers to five-star Google reviews. Individual testimonials describe first-time electric buyers asking extensive questions before a test ride at Diss, part-exchange of an existing bike, help with insurance, a used machine delivered in near-new condition, and a Zero SR/S diagnosed and repaired under warranty after repeated power errors. These are customers' accounts rather than verified findings about the business.
