KTM E-SPEED SCOOTER FOR SERIAL PRODUCTION!

Just four weeks after the first presentation of KTM’s E-Scooter Studio at the Tokyo Motorcycle Show, the E-SPEED made its first appearance in Europe when it was shown to the domestic market at the bike-austria Exhibition – in Tulln, Austria. And with good reason.

Harald Plöckinger (KTM Executive Board Member for Production and Business Development): “We believe in the electro-mobility on two wheels. Because offroad sport is our core area, we have developed an E-Crosser, the Freeride E., but we are also convinced that urban mobility can succeed in urban areas. Because of the very positive feedback following the Tokyo presentation, we have decided to transfer the results from the development of the E-Cross bike also into the road segment. The E-SPEED is our interpretation of emission-free propulsion for city use, but without compromising on the design and sportiness of our KTM genes! “

The goal is to develop the E-SPEED concept study into a serial production model by 2015. Literally speaking, KTM have spent a lot of energy in developing a completely new drive system for the Freeride E. Now this can also be utilized for the scooter that is designed to have a very sporty look.

In 2012 selected interested persons gathered at the specially created KTM E-Cross Center in Munderfing to get an impression of riding the Freeride E. In advance of the Freeride E being available in 2014 at KTM dealers within Europe, from now on  it is also possible to gain extended Freeride E experience. Testpark cooperations had been agreed in Zell am See (Salzburg/Austria), in Ötztal (Tyrol, Austria) and Hirschau (Germany).
