KTM E-Duke Prototype Displayed At Motohall In Austria

KTM’s electric motorcycle project, the E-Duke, has been seen in public for the first time. A video shared by rider Rok Bagoros, recorded inside KTM’s Motohall in Mattighofen, Austria, shows the prototype on display. The E-Duke was first mentioned in Pierer Mobility’s 2022 investor presentation. KTM has not confirmed production plans, but the motorcycle may be built in India, where KTM already produces several models through its local partner.

According to earlier information, the E-Duke is expected to use a 5.5kWh battery pack and a 10kW nominal power motor. KTM has not released official specifications. A range of less than 100km is likely, depending on riding conditions.

The E-Duke appears to share its main frame, swingarm, suspension, wheels and brakes with the 390 Duke. The electric motor is placed where the engine is usually located. The battery and motor are positioned low in the frame. A hollow section near the headstock may act as a cooling duct for electrical parts.

The motorcycle includes an exposed charging cable, suggesting the presence of an onboard charger. This could remove the need for carrying an external charger. The body panels and frame have a different layout from the 390 Duke, and the subframe design is new. The cockpit features a handlebar and a TFT display, which appears similar to the one on the 390 Enduro R. The motorcycle uses a hand-operated rear brake lever, a feature found on KTM’s Freeride E-XC electric models.
