A true
revolution – that is the one and only fitting description of the Freeride E. As
the first of the major motorcycle companies, KTM has taken on the challenge of
developing a purely electrically driven off-road sport motorcycle for mass
production. After more than three years of the most intense development, during
which we sometimes broke completely new ground, the project “Freeride E” has finally materialised. Based
on the immense experience from the development of dozens of conventionally combustion-driven
models, and driven by its hallmark ambition, KTM has come up with a product
that is globally unique and truly one of a kind. Developed in-house, the electric
motor drives the Freeride not just with a great dynamism, but also without emissions
and almost silently. And that in turn opens up a significant expansion of its range
of applications. Like any KTM, the Freeride E is about pure riding enjoyment. But
beyond that, the extremely complex project proves that with enough
determination and innovation, it is possible to develop solutions for off-road
motorcycling that are at the same time sporting and environmentally friendly.
2012 is only the beginning. KTM is already electrified and welcomes future
challenges.
