KTM’s ‘high end’ electric motorcycles

The Austrian firm is rumoured to be extending its partnership with Bajaj to develop a new range of ‘high-end’ electric motorcycles.

While the deal isn’t set in stone, Bajaj Executive Director Rakesh Sharma said recently: “We are also in discussion with KTM (and) there is joint work going on where we are looking at platforms for high-end electric motorcycles.”

It’s no great shock that KTM’s looking to increase its electric range with the help of Bajaj – particularly considering the imminent release of its E-Duke, which is similar in size and power to the petrol-powered Duke 125 and is being built at the Indian factory’s newest production facility in Pune (alongside the Husqvarna E-Pilen bike and Vektorr scooter).

With the plant up and running and a fruitful working relationship already in place, it seems sensible to expect that KTM will continue to develop more electric machines with the help of Bajaj. Together they’re ready to roll – and with more competition than ever from Kawasaki, Yamaha and BMW (and many more), they need to be.
