LAST ELECTRIC KTM TEST RIDE VIDEO
• KTM SX-E Freeride elec...
Last time when we had this electric bike we did test ride video. There was a lot of questions about the top speed and how long you can ride it. Now we test those things, hope you liked the video :)

[@stokes58]

I like how your mate casually rolls up with half a tree in his wheel. 7:58

[@vajeye-nar6172]

Remember guys 4 stroke bikes were shit once too. Give it time. Can't wait.

[@Ad0akes]

Great for urban stuff when noise is an issue but long enduro stuff and sand dunes where's no plug. Petrol power is champ

[@HorsepowerHouse]

That's what they said about electric: cars, mowers, trimmers, scooters, bicycles, drones, pressurewashers, the list goes on and on as to what is now accepted to be electric - but used to be only petrol-fueled (or human-fueled). And many E-Vehicles are now BETTER than their petrol counterparts.

[@dukeofsomewhere1553]

Lol, you guys crack me up! Cool video, this is exactly what people wanna see imo, loads of comparisons and honest reporting without too much blurb - sweet, subbed you guys!

[@Slugger84629]

That whining whirling sound would drive me batshit crazy. I'll still with my four stroke.

[@lilsquid5405]

Electric vehicles have instant torque but will never sound as good as a combustion engine

[@vapsku8212]

LIL SQUID true nothing beats a good old 2 stroke sound when it comes to dirt bikes

[@stuntfreaksteam]

+LIL SQUID true!

[@wtffy204]

Videos are getting better every upload. You have a lot of bikes love it.

[@sharagan]

Thanks for the comparison with the drag races, it really gives me a perspective....great job!

[@Mrplacedcookie]

Keep in mind that E-bikes is pretty early in it's evolution. Can't wait to see what future will bring. But i got to say i love the smell of a two stroke in the morning.

[@deborahchesser7375]

Jorgen Sandstrom they will surpass all forms of propulsion for vehicles

[@mxrider2strokebraaap54]

That's what I call a good review👍

[@ludde8405]

When you raced the Honda you had eco mode on…

[@Void34]

The upcoming 2018 Model has 50% more battery capacity to allow 90min sporty driving, 18 kW (25 PS) power and a redesigned frame ( body )

[@bassplayermarty6032]

Awesome thanks for the update on the 2018

[@dickyboyryw]

Hey. What a great looking, nice performance bike. I may buy one, when my finances pick up. I'm pushing 50. But a youngh man at heart. This reminds me of the dirt bikes we rode as kids. Wonderfull memories. Love for all those youngh, or youngh at heart

[@jukebox5308]

in a couple of years tech will catch up and E bikes will really kick ass !!

[@tonyhawk8461]

What exhaust are you running on this bike? It is sure quiet.

[@lacostemayn]

Tony Hawk lol

[@aatutapio4833]

Tony Hawk its....its electrick....

[@valtteri1520]

Aatu Tapio..... It was a joke...

[@user-lm7jq9ck4i]

E-xhaust

[@jeffreymoran6234]

Anyone seen Josh Hill riding it through LA those bikes have a lot of power I can't believe how far Josh Hill was jumping that electric bike it's crazy the shit he was doing in it and it's sounds like a really fast RC car.

[@JohnHowerton137]

Jeffrey Moran they’d rather call it a pussy bike, powerless expensive junk, POS, annoying, etc.. than watch one of the most talented riders to ever throw a leg over a dirtbike ride one. It’s a cool ego stroke when you say you like “the smell of gas” and “loud pipes.” Even though you never get to start yours because the other 7.8 billion people on the planet find it annoying 🤣

[@solvandenboogaard5936]

i used to always say that i wanted to see an electric dirtbike, now that its real, i dont want to see it anymore

[@kingmatthews5436]

Sol van den boogaard do you think I’d get this taken from me riding it on the streets? I would just tell the cops if they said anything it’s a toy lol

[@solvandenboogaard5936]

haha it does sound like one of those 6 volt carts for 3 year olds

[@kingmatthews5436]

Sol van den boogaard fr lol

[@MrSvensken100]

Sol van den boogaard 3

[@roblesmx2121]

Easy my nordic friend, those bikes are the future... If u don't want your grandchildren to live in a dirty world, of course. I mean, i am the first one on pollute, but this kind of bikes are one more step to end with pollution.

[@jdillon575]

You guys should test some of the Zero E - bikes.

[@meals24u]

Love the vid. Great work..

[@danober3283]

The sound is sooooooo innocuous

[@deborahchesser7375]

Honestly some do , but not one with a nice crisp and bassy enduro exhaust. To each his own, I love the stealthiness, they jus don’t have the range yet. Cheers

[@johny79action]

Have you tested the Sur-ron Light Bee mx?

[@stevenvanheel3932]

I can't believe that it kept up to a cr125 lol.

[@topias6522]

It can, but when the electric bike reach top speed, cr is gonna go faster! Because cr can reach 110-140km/h top speed, when electric bike can reach just 78mh!

[@topias6522]

km/h*

[@zane4964]

Steven Vanheel it did up until what seemed maybe 40 or 50kmh then it died off

[@zane4964]

Topias these bike can go even higher or lower depending on gearing.

[@NirHason]

Tnx for the video! :)

[@matthewb9241]

It looks super fun

[@emilguta7850]

Can you do a video where you show every "crew member" of Stuntfreaksteam? :)

[@marklowe7431]

Very good video, gives a good idea of what they can do. Imagine after a few decades of development

[@Hirotoro4692]

Have you not seen the Isle of Man TT Zero? They can already average over 100 mph on a lap of the circuit.

[@Bob_Lob_Law]

It takes exponentially more power to move the same distance at higher speeds, thus you will be able to get more range by going slower, to a certain point.

[@robbed_of_sanity]

2 stroke for life!

[@Youravaragegymbro]

Kuulostaa äkäseltä nikkoautolta

[@zapfhahn6130]

You should try the 2017 Alta Redshift MX bike

[@nick22611]

How about seeing some hill climbing with this e bike?

[@Michael_P23]

should have named it KTM E-SX Mosquito Edition.

[@tomtellem]

E bikes are mosquitos 2 strokes are 100 angry wasps

[@smogchecktech]

For me to be able to ride without anyone one hearing me makes it possible for me to ride at home. I’m liking this idea but need more range. When I can get a good 3 hours out of it in the woods count me in. Bought my 5 year old a sx e-5 and am very impressed. More like mind blown

[@JohnHowerton137]

Davey Eck depending on the terrain you ride, you can get 3, even 4 hours. Just not if your idea of woods is logging roading.

[@mikefrench316]

Yeah I really need one of these! All of the people here in California get really pissed off when we ride our bikes in the hills.

[@Mitchems]

Mike French fuck them

[@BAMBAM3316]

buy them earplugs

[@JuzzlinOSS]

The engine noise is fucking annoying. Why not have a silent bike so that everyone is happy?

[@juniordking126]

I need one i love it💯💯😍

[@eemeli6706]

What exhaust you using and i will buy your viri-tarrasarja

[@magnuswf]

How many aH's is the battery? 20-30 minutes isn't that bad from 1 hour charging, I guess.

[@Simonsiempie]

And with gearbox also, like the other guys?

[@jasons44]

Nice stuff, I have been wondering how good they ran? :30mins @ shit to put it bluntly! But great for a city dirt bike where loud/smokely engine aren't acceptable could be a lot of fun for the quick fix

[@tylerjames3526]

Is it electric or kickstart?

[@jasonjaeger4042]

Tyler James That had me laughing pretty good man

[@SuperMoon1972]

does it have an electronic speed control that is adjustable ?maybe change the curve and timing and should get more top end out of it

[@peterzingler6221]

The top speed is set by the max Motor RPM . That is set by the battery voltage ..lets say theres 10% more RPM hidde in the Software otherwise you need another backgear or simply higher voltage

[@danytheunicorn95]

cool video, thank you!

[@no.1bike]

I don’t know if I like them or not! I find them interesting but they’d have to be bloody good to beat petrol and esp 2 smoke!!

[@tonyclifton474]

getting there....not quite there yet

[@ThisTall]

it seemed quite obvious the 250 and 450 4strokes were being shifted way to fast from 1-2-3rd, like he just shifted up into 3rd or 4th as fast as he could

[@thumpersquid]

Doc's DeLorean was 1.21 gigawatts but it could travel trough time. Hopefully someone will make a Mr. Fusion for it aftermarket.

[@danvalley6524]

That answers all my questions, thank you Stunt Freaks Team! If I buy a SFT jacket, can you add oem KTM box of parts that makes it street legal? 😆😆 (... or may part number...) Thanks again.

[@manus3409]

I love 2 strokes

[@torstai-]

tota konetta ei muute varmaa tarvi lämmittää? :D

[@boxershyangbo6802]

I love this bike

[@freddierowe-crowder7178]

How many miles did you get per charge

[@autohog]

Nice job, finally some real numbers. I love the torque but they’re going to have to significantly increase battery life and weight. As well as increase power output. Realistically 16 min run time at full throttle is useless for anything. Zero motors is a much smaller company with far less resources. Their bikes are putting out more power with 3X the runtime. KTM really needs to step up if they want to sell these bikes.

[@marywallace8792]

Fuck off bicth

[@charlesbickel4295]

Yes Ktm sucks.

[@MathieuTechMoto]

just how many bike you have ? :D

[@Geonious]

The first two seconds of the video was the best!

[@Remu-]

The power is more than enough for enduro trails but the battery life just isn't there yet. Maybe in a few years. Although it would be interesting to see how long it lasts with low speeds when you're doing more technical stuff in the woods.

[@thetruth7608]

Amazing machine

[@murdock6450]

do you do the voice over on despicable me films?

[@wrenchone5003]

It sounds like those electric track cars that we had as kids !! And don't last at all plus let's see you take it off some jumps

[@deborahchesser7375]

Still not quite there on battery technology, guess we’ll wait a little longer. Still can’t beat gas for energy per lb of weight

[@JohnHowerton137]

And now since 2018 they last 50% longer. 50 mins (a lot of it pinned) on muddy, steep motocross track last week. That's pretty damn good.

[@anthonyrodriguez9800]

😍😘

[@stevenhorsefield2909]

Electric bikes will be nice when they have a battery breakthrough. If they can get a small light battery to power it for a long time then the bikes will be super light. Imagine what they could do in fmx with a really like weight bike.

[@jonathanoxlade4252]

Well since the 250sx is the lightest bike just throw a 50cc extra port on it and you have 300cc of awesome and at the same weight aswel yet a 300cc destroys a 4 stroker unless it’s a 450 cc because you need a 500cc to beat a 450cc

[@SamT40]

these things would be awesome for Sydney suburbia.. cops get called within 2mins of a local parkland thrash.. I need one..

[@MrJakeyshadow]

Hey guys, how many of your stickers would i need to cover a dirtbike? two of the 65x30cm ones?

[@Ozlizardking]

Ktm 250 spinning the tyres and rooster tailing the whole way

[@hardgamer6983]

When u test kawasaki h2

[@lucywucyyy]

h2 drifting would be cool as fuck

[@joeyjenkins6140]

Power wheels?

[@adamtlangdon7583]

✨Yes they are⚡️

[@jdillon575]

The E-bikes made by Zero seem ti be much better. Way faster and much longer run time. Also they have various settings controlled by cell phone. Such as engine braking and rider modes.

[@fisherriiska4469]

I like the idea of an electric dirt bike but the technology is not quite there yet. Once they get it to last more than 32 minutes and go faster than 77kph (about 48mph) I'll think about buying one.

[@zane4964]

Fisher Riiska they can go much faster just have to change the gearing

[@CasperRc81]

I agree and people think the first max dirt bikes were 2017 ktm450's idiots. That bike would pound a mid 70's mx bike. Idk I'm all for no valve adjustment, air filter clean, spark plug, oil change etc. just will Take some time for the BATTERY technology to change. Both sides are bad ass!!!.

[@karlbarker2912]

the best video i've seen.. sold until 16 minutes at throttle :(

[@busterstig7830]

Also i heard the batterys are not good to store fully empty or full so you have to ride your bike till its half dead then get off and store it

[@Martoriass]

The charger has a setting for "storage" if you're putting it away for winter, which gives it around half charge.

[@Tuesdaysgonewtw]

When I was a kid we road from sun up to sun set, no electric bike can offer that.

[@porkchopspapi5757]

Same here. 1973. Suzuki tc 125. Costed 75 cents to ride all day. Dirt trails, swamp, forest preserves & town riding. We never saw any cops. I've done some awsome things in my life but that was the most fun.

[@Tuesdaysgonewtw]

@@porkchopspapi5757 Yes Sir, 1974 Honda XL 125, took all the lights off put MX tires on it and a hooker side pipe with a 28mm Mikuni carburetor and Koni rear shocks. I didn't know it then but I was living a dream.

[@porkchopspapi5757]

@@Tuesdaysgonewtw Sometimes after riding through a forest, we would stop in a giant patch of golden grass, relax, smoke a cig.

[@Tuesdaysgonewtw]

@@porkchopspapi5757Yeah bro, in the winter we'd stop and light a small fire.

[@porkchopspapi5757]

@@Tuesdaysgonewtw How old are you & where did you do that riding? Im 61 & rode in Chicago heights ill.

[@stewdapples267]

One thing I don’t like, I think the same as with the cars, they’re dangerous. No one can hear you coming? I’d be weary of pinning that thing anywhere I can’t see around me 🤷‍♂️ we have electric vans at work, no pedestrians hear you coming, the amount of people who walk in front of you is unbelievable... they just don’t hear you

[@Martins2012]

32 minutes is not good. Thanks for the tests!

[@newbeginnings8566]

great video and lots of info. Once again the electric mbike has a long, long way to go before being interesting to me. Price and duration both a real big problem

[@toxicicefox8472]

Could you make a video about all your bikes? I'd really love to see everyone!

[@stuntfreaksteam]

+Stingray5000 we have like 20 bikes 😁

[@toxicicefox8472]

Even if the video would be 20 minutes long I would stiil like to see them all! : )

[@stuntfreaksteam]

+Stingray5000 ok 😁 maybe when we have winter here in Finland (soon) ill do video like that hehe

[@toxicicefox8472]

That would be really nice, thank you. I think that other people would like to see the bikes too!

[@adrianpurse6419]

Sorry I’m from the dinosaur🦕 era and 2 stroke bikes are the only way for me maybe these new millennials kids will like them , you can’t beat that 2 stroke sound

[@osmanganimanik5787]

How long run ur bike???I mean kilometer run in 1 charge???

[@noktrnl123]

How many miles though??

[@nolimit3663]

2stroke power 💪👍 💯

[@Micscience]

Constant exceleration is what wears the battery out the fastest. It said the same thing on my hoverboard owners manual. So when you cruise you are not using to much juice. it's the same way with gas engines. I would love that bike tho it would be perfect for wheelies. I have been watching more and more of your videos keep up the good work. Thumbs up!

[@boydclark7549]

I am looking forward to many more riding areas being opened back up when we all ride these almost silent machines.

[@yannickchelle1896]

thank you

I spent 4 hours on one it was great! (at learning speeds albeit) It's very heavy though and for some one thats 5'8 I struggle to put my foot down lol.

[@liamgallagher7038]

Have you hit the ramps and bigger jumps on it, how does the suspension and power handle that

[@JohnHowerton137]

Liam Gallagher I have. The suspension on the model currently available is valved for trials/trails (what it’s designed for), so there’s no hold up and it’s undersprung. Bent the upper shock mounting bolt. My suspension is getting sent off pretty soon for MX valving and I have springs. The power is smooth as butter and ample.

[@Synthesist-flm]

Badass 2 stroke

[@KubaWicha21]

The concept of the bike is a amazing idea it's seems cool and all but if you want to ride with your buddy and your bikes not charged what do you do

[@simonnilsson9401]

Jake Wicha if you want to ride with your friends and you don't have any gas, what do you do?

[@simonnilsson9401]

Jake Wicha same thing with electric dirt bikes, just charge it

[@KubaWicha21]

Simon Nilzzon wait a couple hours to charge it hmm.

[@simonnilsson9401]

nomoreclickbait please that's basically what I was saying why are you so hot damn fucking stupid?

[@PoorCoyotee]

I tought this would be a great bike but if its really that slow and battery lasts such a short time... Lets wait a few years maybe we get proper one then.
