KTM INTRODUCES ITS HIGH-PERFORMANCE ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLE TO THE NORTH AMERICAN LINEUP THROUGH A LIMITED EDITION PILOT PROGRAM

- As the global high-performance electric
motorcycle market continues to grow, KTM is
pleased to announce the launch of a READY TO RACE pilot program in
North America involving the KTM FREERIDE E-XC, an electric version
of the already-familiar
KTM FREERIDE 250R motorcycle.
Through this pilot program, the KTM FREERIDE E-XC is available in
limited quantities and sold exclusively through select authorized
KTM dealers in the U.S. Each of the 11 select dealerships have been
certified through KTM's high voltage technical training in order to
service this new technology.
Tom Etherington, VP of Sales, KTM North America, Inc.: "KTM has
created this pilot program as a way to better understand the level
of consumer interest in electric motorcycles, which will assist us
in future planning when considering serial production of electric
motorcycles in the coming years. The exciting part for consumers is
that through this pilot program, the FREERIDE E-XC is available for
a price that is substantially less than these models would sell for
outside of this program."
The MSRP for the 2017 FREERIDE E-XC is $8,299 and the motorcycles
are arriving now in limited quantities through the following select
authorized KTM dealers:
- Moto City KTM in Avondale, Ariz.
