The impossible becomes possible! No exhaust emissions and no noise pollution, plus a spontaneous, surprisingly powerful, state-of-the-art electric drive. Fun is guaranteed for novices and professionals alike, thanks to the various adjustable ride modes from economy to standard to advanced. The pioneering electric vehicle concept for the offroad world has been brought to production readiness by KTM over a four-year development period, to order to make a contribution towards better environmental compatibility. The electric motor with an output of up to 16 kW (22 hp) and torque of 42 Nm is just as sporty as other KTM bikes. The flat KTM PowerPack is completely recharged in only 80 minutes (80% in 50 minutes), so nothing stands in the way of up to an hour of riding fun, depending on terrain and riding style.
The FREERIDE E-SM is far more than an electro-enduro with road tires. It is the first in a completely new class of motorcycle that enables virtually noiseless short-distance transport with zero emissions while offering maximum riding fun. It's the perfect complement to a contemporary lifestyle. It differs from the FREERIDE E-XC in, among other things, its smaller wheels with extremely grippy, practically slick tires, a longer gear ratio for higher speeds and a chassis tuned for its intended purpose. A 300-volt battery powers a brushless, permanent-magnet, synchronous motor, which can deliver up to 16kW output in short bursts and makes for a powerful drive package. The lithium ion battery loaded with 2.6 kWh ensures up to one hour of maximum electric power. Intelligent power electronics tuned perfectly to the overall package ensure that the spontaneous power development of the machine remains easily controllable. The high-torque electric motor is connected to a single-speed transmission with no gearbox, so neither shifting nor clutch operation is necessary.
