KTM, the global leader in high-performance motorcycles, has stepped into the e-mobility market with the launch of its all-new KTM Electric Bicycle 2025, setting new benchmarks in the electric mobility segment.

The new KTM e-bicycle combines style, strength, and sustainability, offering a thrilling yet eco-friendly riding experience. Built with a lightweight aluminum frame, the bike carries KTM’s signature bold orange-black design and sporty appeal.

Powerful Battery and Range

The highlight of the new model is its high-capacity lithium-ion battery that delivers up to 160 kilometers of range on a single charge. The battery can be fully recharged in just 2.5 hours, making it ideal for both city rides and weekend getaways.

Performance and Motor

Equipped with a high-torque mid-drive motor, the KTM Electric Bicycle provides smooth acceleration and consistent performance even on steep slopes. Riders can switch between Eco, Normal, and Sport modes for optimal power use.

Built in Switzerland, Solar Impulse 2 is the world’s largest aircraft powered entirely by sunlight. Designed by Swiss engineers Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg, it completed a historic journey around the globe covering 40,000 kilometres without using a single drop of fuel. The aircraft is covered with over 17,000 solar cells that power its four electric motors, allowing it to fly day and night.

This achievement proved that renewable energy can sustain long-duration flight, marking a major milestone in clean aviation technology. It inspired new research into solar-based propulsion systems and energy-efficient materials, setting a foundation for future sustainable flight innovations.
