KTM always innovating and protecting the environment, they brought out a new line of electric enduro motorcycles, impressively, the evolution of the transport on two wheels !!!
I have this bike and I do love it. However there are a few things that should be improved: 1. Regenerative braking should be available regardless of drive mode. I suggest separate control for it. 2. Changing ride mode should be possible while riding without having to stop. 3. Whoever designed the ride mode button should be fired. Only one button you have to frantically press several times really hard to make anything happen. Should be physical turning knobs(ride mode and regen separate) instead of a awful button. 4. The charger is huge and separate. Should be small and built in so you can plug in anywhere.
Fully agree except for the charger. If it is heavy it will be hard to have it ''feather weight'' without major cost increase. And embedded it in the bike ? will add too much weight for a minimal use case. A small enough weight reduction so it could be taken into a back pack, ok. And only if ktm make this bike homologation-compatible. There I see the use case of visiting a relative for the day and being able to charge the bike for the return trip, thus effectively doubling the range.
Cool, I can see these in specialty uses like indoors or trials and closed course. But what if this guy has to go back up the mountain? It may take a hybrid for for realistic off road use.
~1hour if you are able to ride as fast as that dude on the video. The performance on this is just shit when comparing this to Altamotors 40hp bike that you can ride for 2-3h. This KTM has almost exactly half the power and range of Alta's, probably just meant to rip around your house once in a while like in the video.
It also costs less than half of the Alta, and is available world wide. Still though, I hope KTM follows Alta's lead and launches a higher end option to match their Redshift EX!
When you make it at least 60hp for the same price we can talk. But its a good concept. Need more power! Like that stark bike! Good build tho! Could use this when hunting!
While KTM is developing many e-vehicles, this one will remain top of the range at least for the coming years... Source: KTM Management at the Press Launch Event of the 2018 Freeride E....
Look up the sur-ron e dirtbike. It only goes for 3500 and lasts longer than this crap. Also has a pretty strong motor with a top speed of 45 which is plenty fast

Would be nice if there were dealers that knew how to fix them I spent 12k on a electric dirt bike that no one knows how to fix cause of a electrical issue I feel so dumb
I love how it sounds like a kids' toy but is actually a real dirt bike!
If I was riding it I’d feel like I was one of those old electric razor bikes again
same here.

It's sad that they trade this for the exc 125.
great company for sure.
WANT!!!
Skills With Phil i would go on mtb trail also im a big fan surprised to see you here

Agreed, one of the reason I didn't buy it. A dial makes sense, don't like the 1 button idea.
They could install AC charger in the bike like on an electric car but that will make bike heavier.

@@BolcheBric I now also have 2 Stark Vargs which are another level. I still have the KTM for beginner guest riders but I only ride the Starks now
no one will undestand the feeling when riding though a forest silently,unless experienced it
With that range you better be close to home
All that with no sound i want one 😍
God, i love that thing! What an awesome bike!
Give it a gearbox, that would spice things up! I know its extra weight, but thats KTM guys work.
Maybe KTM should make more of them so I CAN GET ONE?
2021 version sold out..
That would be cool for a road bike specialy if u work night shift, starting up my 450 at 2:30 am doesnt go down well with the neihbours, hehe
Nope you’d not like that just think about the distance this can go?
I’ve been on one at Cumbria moto park in the uk
Why not ship a few up to Portland, Oregon, so I can compare them to the Zero FX/FXS? I'll be ready to buy in the late summer 2018.
I will consider getting one only if it gets a better battery range and charging time

Been searching for months on whether I can buy this in Australia
Wow man it took ktm like 4 years to put another one of these out
yeah, and I am still waiting for Honda or Yamaha to even come up with one...
Very nice...I love KTM😍😍 I am from mondsee 30km from matttighofen and want work at KTM😍😍😍😎😉😂😂
Got a friend in Mondsee! Must be nice to paraglide there!
I love ❤ ktm
50% more battery life.... So what is the range and charge time now? and is that with the Freeride E-SM too?

No more SM model! Cancelled! Only XC... (dunno about SC off hand, doesn't interest me)
it sounds weak but its actually really powerful
What's the real-world battery range or running hours for someone riding like the guy in the video?
On the previous model it was about 20-25 minutes. And up to 35 when riding a bit slower. ua-cam.com/video/kTxzTqqqdh8/v-deo.html
We have 2015 model and riding one and half hour with enduro on the forest ... on track half hour
Same . You are right.
I Love E-xc ktm bike
When you make it at least 60hp for the same price we can talk. But its a good concept. Need more power! Like that stark bike! Good build tho! Could use this when hunting!
So good! !!!
Sick
When will it be available in the us?
When Comes this bike to Germany?
Ende März, Anfang April
plz sell in Japan!
Is the charger compatible with North American 240vac 60 hz electricity?
I guess no update coming to this sort of a shame. 😢
2 stroke 4 ever
Want to see a supermoto build off this
Needs 110V plug-in capability and a lot more run time. Oh, yeah. And a 30-inch seat height.
How tall is the rider? He looks so small getting off it compared to the bike...
How long for a EXC-E version?

I want the same helmet he got tho lol

#shredding
It's beautiful and i want it, but It's TOO EXPENSIVE!!!!!!
7790 list price, if you lease the battery for 50 Euro per month... Maybe below 7k with discount?
@@mcbrite never lease anything

Plz launch ktm duke 125 in india
Vanni Oddera starter pack 😂😂
If only it could be easily homologated...
My Sur Ron goes 50 mph for half the cost.
How much cost this bike
12k
E-XC VS EXC
Exc is with fuel and e-xc is electric
Would be nice if there were dealers that knew how to fix them I spent 12k on a electric dirt bike that no one knows how to fix cause of a electrical issue I feel so dumb
Get off the mtb trails!
Oh piss off, most of those trails were made by motorized vehicles.
Abomination!! Nooo
Electric bike are much less thrilling than REAL bikes...
נח נדב not really they're very torqy
Have you ever tried one? The immediate torque rips your arms off!
Let me guess... You don't even OWN a REAL bike... Just talking shit on the interwebs... Standard...
I bet you money this guy doesn't have a therapist
