The following press release is from KTM:

INTRODUCING THE NEXT BIKE FOR FUTURE RIPPERS, THE NEW KTM 18EDRIVE FACTORY EDITION AND 20EDRIVE FACTORY EDITION BALANCE BIKES

Five-model-strong mini E-RIDE range aims to continue growing the sport of motorcycling by offering the perfect starting point or training companion.

MURRIETA, Calif.—KTM North America Inc. has increased its electrified product range with the new KTM 18eDRIVE FACTORY EDITION and KTM 20eDRIVE FACTORY EDITION machines. Built in collaboration with STACYC, these limited-run, special edition balance bikes take their place alongside the KTM 12eDRIVE and 16eDRIVE models and the beginner-friendly, yet competition-ready, KTM SX-E 5. The five-model-strong mini E-RIDE range aims to continue growing the sport of motorcycling by offering the perfect starting point or training companion for riders in the hunt for their first, or next, podium finish.

The all-new KTM 18eDRIVE FACTORY EDITION and KTM 20eDRIVE FACTORY EDITION feature a new 36 Volt motor platform and come with the power and range to tackle aggressive riding terrain or longer trips with the crew. Power your aspiring rider with FACTORY-level performance, thanks to top-shelf componentry and dirt-shredding, high-flying electric performance delivered by the brushless motor and quick-change battery. For training or playing, these are the machines we wish we had while growing up.

The KTM 18eDRIVE FACTORY EDITION is the next choice in the eDRIVE range and is ready to deliver a whole new riding experience. With 3 power modes, the KTM 18eDRIVE FACTORY EDITION will still allow the progression your little rippers expect from STACYC but with a much larger growth curve. With a top speed of 18 mph, and dressed in FACTORY EDITION-specific hydraulic Hayes disc brakes and race-inspired paint scheme, the KTM 18eDRIVE FACTORY EDITION has the ability to unlock endless opportunities and develop the skills your little rippers have dreamed of. Weighing in at 31 lbs. with the battery, this ride is perfect for kids between 8-10 years of age, and up to 115 lbs.

This is the top choice for young shredders and is ready to deliver the most exciting and energized riding experience imaginable. Like the KTM 18eDRIVE FACTORY EDITION, the KTM 20eDRIVE FACTORY EDITION offers 3 power modes to enable manageable progression as little rippers become medium sized rippers. Topping out at an impressive 20 mph and equipped with FACTORY EDITION-specific MANITOU J-Unit front forks and Hayes hydraulic disc brakes, the KTM 20eDRIVE FACTORY EDITION provides the performance and control to own the local pump track or for backyard domination. At a light 33 lbs. and with an adjustable 23 inch seat, the KTM 20eDRIVE FACTORY EDITION is ideal for kids between the ages of 10-12 and up to 115 lbs.
