redkow97 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Until the battery lasts 1.5 hours, that 1.5 hour charge time is killer...they say 20-45 minutes of charge time. I'm betting it's a lot closer to 20, unless you're putting along a trail.So that means even with 2 batteries, you ride for maybe 30 minutes, then swap batteries. Ride for another 30 minutes, and then wait an hour for your first battery to come off the charger again?No thanks. Unless the extra battery packs are like $100 each, it's just not a practical power source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBBaron Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 http://www.gizmag.com/ktm-freeride-e-electric-motorcycle-specs/20482/Competitor to Zero definitely.Bad news I'm not sure about. It kind of validates the product. And may actually increase sales. But Zero will have to stay ahead of a bigger name like KTM in technology to compete. Ofcourse this only targets 1 of the several models that Zero sells. And several of those I doubt that KTM would target. It might just push Zero into a different niche.I think its great to see more competition in the market. One of the Zero XU models looks like a pretty cool commuter.

Beegreenstrings Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Well at least it is a cool design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buildit Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 (edited) :confused::confused: I'm confusedThe battery take 1.5 hrs to recharge but doesn't last that long. It would be an awsome bike if you had an urban offroad park where noise was the enemy. Like most I'd hate to be someplace miles from electric and wanting to ride for hours with a bike that dies after 30 min of full speed riding.

mgbgt89 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Says its fully waterproof... I wonder if that means submersible. Being able to take on some seriously deep water crossings would be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgbgt89 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I can't wait till electric bikes start dropping in price. They make perfect sense for me as a commuter bike. I'll take mine in a motard please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motociclista Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Considering KTM only plans to make 100 of them, I don't think they're a threat to anyone. Yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
