KTM is three weeks away from unveiling a supermoto version of its electric off-roader, the Freeride E, Visordown can exclusively reveal.

Called the Freeride E-SM, the new version will be almost the same as the Freeride E but with road wheels, sticky tyres and bigger brake discs and calipers.

That means its specs will be almost identical to the Freeride E's too, at 30hp, 31lbft and a weight of just 95kg. The 300-volt battery takes just 90 minutes to charge.

News of the supermoto version was revealed today by KTM's PR manager Thomas Kuttruf on the press launch of the Freeride E in Austria.

The Freeride E is itself based on KTM's accomplished Freeride 350, a lightweight single-cylinder road-legal trail bike designed to master the same challenges as the firm's full-on enduro machines.

The Freeride E-SM is due to be unveiled at the Intermot Cologne motorcycle show on September 30.
