2025 KTM Freeride E

KTM’s electric-powered Freeride stands in a class of its own among the orange off-road motorcycles. But for 2025, the new-generation Freeride E is now street legal, which could potentially lump it into the dual sport category. The Freeride received a major overhaul for 2025 for what KTM calls a “99% new” model, featuring a new 50.4 PMSM (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) which delivers 37 Nm (27 lb.-ft.) of torque, 19.2 kW (25.7 hp) peak power, and a top speed of 59 mph. A new MX50 lithium-ion battery is easily interchangeable, and though it is technically down on power from its predecessor, KTM promises a 1.5kWh capacity increase and 20% more riding time.

The Freeride E is close to a full-size dirt bike, running on 21- and 18-inch wheels, but not quite as large in its overall dimensions. A new chromoly frame uses the battery as a load-bearing member, and is suspended by a new 43mm WP Xact fork and WP Xplor shock. Without a need for a clutch, KTM took advantage of the real estate on the left handlebar and gave the Freeride E a new Braktec hand-operated rear brake—so it stops like a bicycle, only backward.

A new LCD dash displays charge levels, riding modes, and a four-button handlebar switch offers ride modes (each with a separate regen setting) and traction control options. KTM says a full charge can be reached in nine hours with the included charger (660W) or in 1.5 hours with an optional 3.3kW charger.

The 2025 KTM Freeride E is available in orange. MY25 pricing is TBA.
