Buy Sell Trade / Re: 2017 KTM Freeride E-XC ...SM wheels or sell?
« on: October 25, 2022, 12:42:26 AM »
Located in Western Nebraska.  I love the bike and added OEM accessories (blinkers, horn, mirrors, etc.) for street legal licensing.  One reason I had been considering an SM wheel conversion was to also drop the seat height another inch or so.  I'm still on the fence about selling but with only like 30 miles on it over the last couple years I thought I should at least consider the option.

Buy Sell Trade / 2017 KTM Freeride E-XC ...SM wheels or sell?

Considering selling my nearly showroom condition minimal miles and garage kept KTM Freeride e-xc.  Have been contemplating a SM wheel conversion but since I just have not ridden it thought I would post.

I thought KTM announced a leasing program would be available for battery packs ($50/month or similar)?

I might be interested in the platform if could be used in a conversion project (working motor, controller, batteries).

Buy Sell Trade / KTM or Zero for project bike
« on: May 01, 2019, 09:18:33 PM »
Looking for a KTM or Zero as a platform for a conversion project.  Preferably would like to purchase a used KTM Freerid parts bike or motor with or without a working battery.  I already own a 2015 and would like to utilize battery pack for both.

That was my hope, but several "backwards thinking" states (Nebraska I'm calling you out) have regulations written in such a way that an off-road MSO makes it impossible.  Quote from my DMV "Born a dirt bike remains a dirt bike".  Coming from a state that doesn't even require brake lights, mirrors, or blinkers for a "legal" street bike.   >:(

That's exciting news!  I had hoped to hear about a pack refresh...hopefully interchangeable with existing models!  What is the official KTM freeride E facebook page address?

Olav,

Would you mind detailing your registration experience?  After you installed your street-legal components what was your first step in the registration process and what forms were you required to provide?  I'd be very interested in knowing how the DMV reacted to this electric motorcycle and if anything was questioned concerning a VIN lookup or similar.  If you prefer to keep the conversation offline please PM me. 

Thanks!

Do you think the Freeride E platform, specifically the battery technology will continue to evolve?  Would it be wishful thinking to think that as battery technology improves KTM would improve the existing modular battery making the platform "upgradable"?  Has this happened in Europe where the model has been available longer? 

KTM could demonstrate commitment to the platform following something similar to Ryobi where the same battery pack is not only interchangeable across models (is it currently?) but improves over time with developments in battery chemistry.  This would significantly prolong the platform as to creating something disposable.  Perhaps this even creates an aftermarket following for chargers and batteries alike.  Weight, riding range, charging time, and price would all be competitive variables to improve in the foreseeable future.

Thanks for the great information!  I'm very much hoping that I would be able to make the e-xc street legal in Nebraska.  It would be so much more useful for quick around the town trips as well as riding to a trail or similar.

Olav,

Would you be interested in sharing details concerning your street-legal mods?  Were you able to simply plug in and bolt on factory components or did you add aftermarket switches, wiring and controls?

I think I've answered my own question reading that the bike "should" be submersible but not recommended.

Similarly I'm curious if anyone can report on the long term reliability.  My understanding is this same model has been available in Europe for at least a couple years.  I have not yet ran across anything as far as major mechanical reports and/or replacement drive-train parts availability.  Can the motor components be rebuilt or replaced if damaged or worn as opposed to being disposable?  My hope is the platform will continue to evolve with future battery upgrades and/or a possible aftermarket parts following.  Certainly interested in hearing from anyone that might have additional information or insight.

Looking to officially join the club and purchase the KTM E-XC as soon as I can locate one.  Would like to know if it's a fair weather only bike.  I have not been able to find anything specific to riding the bike through creek crossings, in the rain...etc.
