Unveiled KTM E-SPEED electric concept
KTM is going the green way with this, it's electric E-SPEED concept. Unveiled at the Tokyo Auto Show, this 15PS/36Nm 140kg liquid cooled scooter is targeted at the urban market. KTM says that the Li-ion battery pack takes around two hours for a charge and will run for 64km before running out of juice. Regenerative braking and ABS are standard. The scooter uses a hybrid trellis frame made of light metal and by the look of it is a far cry from the bug-eyed specimens that masquerade themselves as of the electric brigade. Not to mention the signature orange colour makes it stand out.
Stefan Pierer, KTM CEO said, "We at KTM are completely convinced of electric mobility as a perfect complement to conventional power-trains. In the long term, the electric drive will come out on top for short distances â" particularly in areas which are highly sensitive from an environmental perspective, like open nature and densely populated metropolitan areas! Vehicles like the 'E-SPEED' and FREERIDE E can help powered two-wheelers win back more acceptance in society. Not just because of their environmental credits, but because they are easy to use, quick, and simply great fun."
