What’s up guys? A German magazine Das Motorrad has leaked photos of KTM’s new offerings last week: the KTM FREERIDE electric motorcycles.

The price translates to around $13,500, considerably more expensive than the Zero X, which retails for $7,495.

The KTMs produce 30bhp and 33lb/ft of torque and use a 2.5kWh lithium-ion battery pack. They weigh in at 90kg (198.4lbs) and the range is approximately 1.5-hours.

While the battery pack carries 0.5kWh more capacity than the Zero, the rest of the specifications don’t match up. The Zero produces 50lb/ft of torque and 23bhp, while weighing in at just 73kg (161lbs).

While the enduro and supermoto appear to share identical frames and powertrains, they do differ in components, with the supermoto running a bicycle-style threadless headset front end and dinky projector headlamp in place of the enduro’s conventional setup. One part that does look seriously nice is the supermoto’s sculpted swingarm.

Stay tuned for more updates and be sure to check out KTM Boards for more information.
