In terms of driving range as well, the new E-Duke will deliver figures similar to its sister brand’s Pilen. The bike will provide a 100 km range. This range might not be final and the company might make tweaks to increase or decrease it.
The design of the new bike will stay true to the KTM Duke DNA. The company had blurred out the image of the bike in the earnings call. However, a prior document did show the bike without being pixelated. The image in the header is the bike’s design.
Apart from the powertrain, KTM E-Duke is also expected to borrow suspension, frame, and brakes from the Husqvarna E-Pilen.
Should we expect more powerful electric bikes from KTM?
Pierer Mobility is focusing on low-powered electric vehicles to start with. The company claims that it enables greater margins. It will also be targeted at youngsters. Once these youngsters move to adulthood, the company plans to be ready with more powerful KTM electric bikes.
