KTM group will release 2 electric off-road machines in the next 20 years
KTM AG, Europe's manufacturer of motorized two-wheelers with its motorcycle brands KTM, Husqvarna Motorcycles and GASGAS, presented its extensive electric sports minicycle line-up last weekend during the KTM North America Dealer Summit in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The current range offers electric bikes for young riders with different skills, from first balance bikes to advanced competition models. In 2022, the range will be expanded with the new SX-E 3, EE 3 and MC-E 3, which bridge the gap between the group's electric balance bikes and the advanced SX-E 5, EE 5 and MC-E 5 models. By the middle of this decade, the electric line-up will include more than 20 electric off-road motorcycles from all brands, ranging from entry-level to competition models, aimed at young talents who are taking the future of motorsports to the next level.
Boasting decades of expertise in motorcycle engineering and manufacturing, KTM AG carefully evaluates electric mobility options and develops products that are both environmentally and economically sustainable.
“Everyone is talking about e-mobility these days. At KTM AG we are constantly working on developments in this area, thus fulfilling our responsibility as an innovative, sustainable company,” says Hubert Trunkenpolz, Chief Marketing Officer at KTM AG. “We strongly believe that e-mobility has a role to play when it comes to short distances, urban mobility and small engine sizes. In the off-road segment we have to take into account the conditions on the circuits, such as limited availability to charge large batteries.”
Strong partnerships with dealers is one of the most important pillars of KTM AG's success. As the world market leader in off-road competition motorcycles, the company is a solid partner for its global dealer network. As a reliable manufacturer in the motorized two-wheeler sector, KTM AG wants to meet the high expectations of riders and dealers, but also of society.
“The relationship with our dealers, their feedback and input have always been invaluable to us. That's why we're proud to present our range of electric motorcycles for the youngest riders here for the first time in the world's largest off-road motorcycle market. It was great to spend a few days together with our partners, riding the latest generation of motorcycles and sharing our vision and plans for the future,” says Florian Kecht, Chief Sales Officer at KTM AG. “We are committed to the brick-and-mortar business and will continue to provide our dealers with a broad, best-in-class product offering that meets the expectations of all our stakeholders, now and into the future.”
