KTM Freeride E

Another KTM Freeride is E. Raised from a concept now ready to be released this year. Freeride E has more similar design to Freeride 350. First showed at Tokyo Motor Show 2010, Freeride E brought spirit of first zero emission motorcycle.

The world's leading offroad motorcycle manufacturer had developed a fully electric driven motorcycle which has silent noise. The E provide easy remove lithium-ion battery pack with 300 V rated voltage. Maximum power we can get as it's claimed in http://www.ktm.com/freeride is 22 kW (30 hp)

KTM will be release two kinds of E. Offroad and Street. For mud and rock terrain edition, KTM Freeride E is more likely as Freeride 350 whether its very different to the street edition.You will never see a long fork as it seems in 350. E Street is like a freeride bicycle. Even with a strong battery, Freeride E is lighter than 350 with 95 kg weight. Wuing wuing wuing....
