IN THE WIND P58 KTM Introduces SX-E 5 Electric Minicycle KTM's new SX-E 5 is the company's new electric- powered minicycle that is expected to be available in November. T he newly developed KTM SX-E 5 is the next step in KTM's innovative lineup, says the Austrian manufacturer KTM. The KTM SX-E 5 is based on the company's popular two-stroke KTM 50 SX with a high-end chassis powered by an electric motor. The mission, KTM says, is clear: "to create an ultra-competitive machine that is also easy to ride, even for pure beginners." Zero emissions, low noise and minimal maintenance makes the SX-E 5 a good option for young- sters looking to make the first step into the world of motorcycling and is good for the growing rider with its adjustable seat height. KTM claims its KTM Power- Pack can provide more than two hours of riding for a beginner, or 25 minutes for the faster junior racers, and with its external world- wide charger, full power is re- stored in approximately one hour. The SX-E 5 will be available in North American dealerships in fall 2019. CN
