KTM has displayed a prototype of an electric Duke at its headquarters in Austria.
It features numerous components from the current 390 Duke.
The display on the e-Duke is from the 390 Enduro R.
It has typical KTM styling with some neat design elements.
Three years ago, the annual Pierer Mobility investor presentation revealed that KTM was working on an electric version of the Duke. Now, a prototype version of the E-Duke has been seen for the first time. No specification details are available, but the 2022 presentation stated that the KTM E-Duke would get a 10kW (nominal power) electric motor along with a 5.5kWh battery pack. That could result in a quick and engaging performance, although it would be hard to see a realistic range of over 100km with such a small battery pack – and that would be with some very well-behaved riding. The KTM theme is very much apparent with a big fuel tank, exaggerated fuel tank extensions and the deconstructed headlamp design that we’ve already seen in the new 990 Duke and 1390 Super Duke.
