Freshly Charged 2025 KTM FREERIDE E to bring New Energy to KTM E-Mobility

MURRIETA, CA – October 18, 2024 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Ten years after KTM first introduced the electric Freeride concept to the market, the completely refreshed 2025 KTM FREERIDE E represents the company’s next step in its approach to the liberty, practicality, and vast potential of dual-sport e-mobility.

The 2025 KTM FREERIDE E is a 99% new product featuring an in-house-developed drivetrain, expanded battery potential, and high-class components wrapped with unforgettable style and design that always distinguishes orange motorcycles from the crowd.

The bike provides the thrill of instant torque and power, and a set-up with both brakes mounted on the handlebars will allow experienced users to work more on their technique and positioning while being the easiest possible introduction to the awesomeness of riding for newcomers.

Boasting 11 kW of nominal output, 18.5 kW peak power, more than 37 Nm of torque, and a top speed of 59 mph (95 km/h), the engine is a much quieter, cooler unit that is water and dustproof and fully integrated into the overall character and feel of the motorcycle. Three ride modes (ECO, NORMAL, and SPORT) and three energy recuperation settings (OFF, MID, and HIGH) can be synced to ensure flexibility with the range and power package of the KTM FREERIDE E. Traction control can also be pegged to a certain level to limit or increase wheelspin. More safety features come from the ‘rollover…
