KTM E-Duke electric motorcycle confirmed to be in development

KTM is yet to confirm the unveil date of its upcoming electric motorcycle.

Pierer Mobility, the parent company of KTM, has confirmed that it is working on an all-electric motorcycle called the E-Duke. The battery-powered motorcycle is expected to share its internals with the Husqvarna E-Pilen.

As the name suggests, the electric motorcycle will be based on KTM's Duke range of streetfighter offerings. Reports suggest that the KTM E-Duke will come with a fixed 5.5 kWh battery pack. The electric powertrain on the E-Duke is expected to produce 10 kW (13.4 BHP) of nominal power, making it comparable to the brand's entry-level 125 Duke in terms of performance. The E-Duke could also offer a range of 100 km on a full charge, although KTM is yet to confirm any of the specifications.

The reports also suggest that the electric motorcycle could carry forward a sharp and aggressive design, in line with KTM's Duke range. The E-Duke could borrow its suspension, frame and brakes from the Husqvarna E-Pilen, which is expected to make its global debut sometime later this year.
