Newsflash | Electric Duke from KTM in the near future?
Rok Bagoroš, known as official KTM stunt rider, bike builder, and YouTuber, shared a video on his Instagram showcasing a KTM E-Duke prototype at KTM Motohall. Since 2011, Rok has been linked with KTM and is the only rider among the elite global stunt performers using a motorcycle with a single-cylinder engine. KTM is recovering from a phase of financial instability, thanks to Bajaj’s intervention through a loan, which has also resulted in the Indian company gaining a controlling share in KTM.
While there isn’t any official information available yet, and we won’t speculate, some technical details have been published by media colleagues.
