Rieju new electric enduro bike presented.

Looks really good. I like that it comes with KYB front and back as well!

EV KTM..change my mind.

If I remember correctly they bought the old Gas Gas inventory when the company was sold to KTM.

KYB forks , so you save money by not having to buy cone valves. Its funny that KTM went from "Ready to race" to "gotta swap out the forks and shock before you can race" . But they are Gasgas' not KTM's so kinda a KTM but more of a 2019 Gasgas. Rieju bought the 2019 offroad platform when KTM bought out Gasgas. So its more of a real Gasgas . Those sideplates do look a lot like the new KTM though.

This guy isn't very smart he thinks rieju is ktm

I'll take one

Love the electric fuel tank

That was just a show bike which is more than a year away from being on the market, maybe a lot more. Big issues with heat and the range, like everyboby else.

"Hey Rieju, we'll inject a million dollars in to you but we want you to guinea pig a new product for a year."

It happens in business. This is why you'll see a Mugen E-bike before you'll see a Honda one.

Pleeeeaaaasssseee don't tell me "But I've googled it and they're completely separate companies!"
Yeah.... deals like this are TOP top secret, we aren't meant to know, may never know. I wouldn't be surprised if Stark is born from dollars from a big company we're already familiar with.

^^^ This guy thinks the Stark is the new Triumph in disguise lol

KTM has its own electric development program, they are not using Rieju as a guinea pig

And, the KTM has been around since 2012.

With not that many changes in the subsequent 10 years. More battery capacity, but still 80cc suspenders and brakes, and, in a size that's between a Trials bike and a real Enduro / MXer.

I've ridden the Freeride E quite a few times, a mate of mine has one he's got plated here, and it's not what I want from a bike. Even if it could be had for a more reasonable price.

I'd hoped by now that KTM would have brought out an E Bike at the level of an EXC or XC / SX. But no, they've just sat on whatever they might have up their sleeves, which is bloody disappointing.

Of course, they've made a move to get the youngsters on E Bikes, and it's said they are going to go further up in size / capacity 'emulation', but as I've written so often, I hope the Stark Varg has put a rocket up their jaxies, and they get the EXC / XC / SX equivalent out, as soon as possible.

Rieju being like Mugen is to Honda , with regards to KTM? Absolute fantasy land.

Facts!

Pics from the article…

Doesn’t look like any ktm parts to me. The frame has some similarities maybe

Lame

Cool looking enduro. Lets hope this gets bigger companies to come out with their e-bikes.

On a single charge giving full power, can it go as far as a KTM/GAS GAS/Husky/Sherco/Beta with a a stock tank? That is what they need before most of us will think about swapping.
