One of the first European electric off-road bikes
Very good condition with minimal signs of use
Road-legal and seen to run well
Motorsport historians may be aware that the first Formula E car race was staged in September, 2014. What is not so well-known is that five years previously, the first electric motocross race was held in Las Vegas. Two constructors (Quantya and Electricross) and eleven machines took part. In 2010, KTM of Austria started work to field its own electric off-roaders, which materialised in 2014 as the Freeride E-XC and E-SX. The first machines of their kind in Europe, they were not initially exported beyond the Continent. Intended just for fun as well as for competition, electric Freerides remain in production to this day.
This fantastic Freeride E-XC presents in very good overall condition with minimal signs of use. As such, it would be ideal for anyone looking to make an entry into competition, introduce a young enthusiast to riding, or simply have some fun on a spot of open land. Equally, as one of the earliest European electric off-road bikes built, it is something of a landmark machine which would be well deserving of being preserved in a collection. Seen to run well, it is supplied with the current V5C.
