KTM has confirmed prices of the 2027 Freeride E electric off-road motorcycle (in the UK) at £8999 with a reported arrival date in dealers by May 2026.

While KTM continues to rebuild following its financial restructuring, the 2027 Freeride E model could be the boost the Austrian brand is looking for – alongside the popular 390 Adventure and Enduro R models, plus the 350 EXC model rumoured to be in development.

Bringing off-road to a wider spectrum of the motorcycle market is a fact already proven by other manufacturers like Stark Future, certainly in the wider picture across Europe where capable dirt bikes are proving popular because of so many noise and emissions issues. That and the fact they are easy like an E-MTB to ride and live with.

£8999 is a premium price tag you could say, when compared to the many electric models from Asia out there (we do not have prices for other countries at tie of writing). But like always, you pay more for product development, dealer support and build quality of a motorcycle which we would expect from any KTM.

Some facts about the Freeride E

The 2027 KTM Freeride E has been 99% redesigned from the ground-up, KTM claim, with 8.3kW of power, 19.2kW peak power, more than 37Nm of torque and top speed of 59mph (95km/h).

It tips the scales at just under 247lb/112kg including mounted mirrors, indicators and other street legal relevant parts.

The 63.9 lb (29 kg) MX50 Lithium-Ion battery is easily interchangeable, allowing the use of a second pack while the charging process takes place or to increase travel range.

Removal it is easy, they say, but “in less than 10 minutes” is still a pretty slow process and we expected better.

The capacity is 5.5 kWh, an improvement of 1.5 kWh compared to the previous KTM Freeride E which they say means 20% more riding time or distance.

Nominal voltage registers around the 50V mark and the battery life can withstand more than 1000 charge cycles before dipping to 80% state of health.

Typical Enduro riding time is estimated between 2-3 hours from one battery charge although this can naturally vary depending on terrain and riding style.

The charging time with the included 660 W charger is less than eight hours when using a standard household power supply. Charging from 20% to 80% will take less than six hours. All figures quoted here are claimed by KTM and not tested by Enduro21. Yet.
