Wow!! I thought the non-battery EFI was impressive.
so how do you get it back to the truck, when the battery dies out in the woods 5 miles away ?
Just like when you run out of Gas...You push..Originally Posted by Grandpa
Done that a few times...If anyone can get it right it is KTM...
....It would be great close to an urban area or anywhere that people complain about the noise....It won't ever replace a combustion engine but it is a pretty cool option..
A lithium-ion battery provides power to the Freeride’s 2.5KW motor, with peak power claims of 30 hp and 31.7 lb-ft torque. Top speed is 70 km/h, that’s 43.5 mph for stateside readers, with the battery good for “approximately one hour” of “mixed off-road riding.” The plug-in battery can reach full recharge in 90 minutes, “but it can also be simply and quickly removed and replaced with another.” The battery is also good for a 500-recharge lifecycle.

The Freeride frame uses what looks like steel frame tubes, with KTM PR saying it utilizes forged aluminum components as well. All told the claimed weight is 198.4 lbs (90 kg), lightweight but not as light as the spare design implies on first look, sans fuel tank and exhaust.
Riders of the Freeride won’t be doing anything with their feet except resting them on the pegs as the only inputs are at the bars, with a right-side lever squeezing the front brake and left side the rear. The gear shift pedal is unnecessary with a clutch-less transmission and single-gear chain final drive
