First Look: KTM SX-E 5

There always has and always will be talk about the future of our beloved fuel-burning sport and what direction it’s heading in - especially at this point in our lives, with so much action being taken against the big oil, fuel and mining companies and how they are affecting our planet. None of us really like the sound of riding an electric bike (quite literally), but what if they’re actually better than the fossil-burning steeds we ride now? With the launch of KTM’s new SX-E 5 (Junior Electric-Model), there have been quite a few points brought up by not only KTM, but also by the young guns who are actually piloting these bad boys. We recently caught up with KTM's Customer & Technical Services Manager, Rob Tweryould, to get an insight into this game-changing machine.

No one will Afford to ride/race when a 50cc bike is 7 grand.

You obviously don't remember the cost of flat screen tvs when they first arrived.
Then....when mass production started...
