Street-legal KTM Freeride E-SM revealed

KTM is adding a third bike to its electric-powered Freeride line-up. The new E-SM, which is a street-legal supermoto, joins the E-SX and E-XC.

It’s built around a steel frame and a 21 bhp (16 kW / 22 PS) water-cooled brushless electric motor. Energy is provided by a 360-cell lithium-ion battery pack that should offer around an hour’s worth of riding. Recharging to 80% capacity takes about 50 minutes.

As well as lights and a speedometer, the E-SM’s specification includes 17” wheels, sticky on-road tyres, a WP upside-down front fork and a WP PDS rear damper unit.

The Freeride E-SM costs €11,595 in the Eurozone, but a UK price has yet to be confirmed.

Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
