Used electric bikes KTM

KTM designs high-end electric bikes with a sporty, urban look. Its models combine versatility, autonomy and quality. They provide users with excellent robustness and durability. It is a well-known brand in the cycling world, but still little known to the general public. 

KTM stands for "Kronreif Trunkenpolz Mattighofen": the name of its founders and its location. This small family business was founded in the 1960s and has grown into a famous brand in the world of cycling thanks to its unrivalled technical expertise. 

The launch of KTM electric bikes

Upway reconditions used KTM electric bikes, whose qualities are praised by specialists. Best known for its motorcycles, KTM was quick to recognize the potential of electric bikes. It was one of the first brands to market electric bicycles. In 2009, its first MTB electric bike was an unexpected success, even though at the time there was a great deal of skepticism about electric bikes. 

Features of the KTM electric bike

KTM electric bikes have a high level of performance. They have two types of motorization: a Bosch motor or a Fazua motor. Each product designed by KTM is characterized by the purity of its design and its quality equipment. These bikes offer a level of performance that is highly appreciated by the most athletic riders. 

Apart from the frames, which are manufactured in Taiwan, all KTM electric bikes are designed and tested in Mattighofen, Austria. They are regularly praised by critics for their impeccable finish. Most of the KTM EAB models feature the brand's signature color: orange. These bikes are particularly suitable for tall people, although different frame sizes are usually offered.

How to choose your used KTM electric bike

KTM offers a wide range of electric bikes to be found used at Upway. The KTM Macina range alone includes numerous models of MTB electric bikes, electric VTCs, but also electric city bikes with VAEs for men and women. 

In order to choose the right KTM electric bike for you, it is important to select a model that corresponds to your use and your body type. Indeed, to buy a suitable bike, it is important to take into account your height, and in particular the height of your inseam, when choosing the frame. Don't forget that the recommended dimensions can vary between a road bike and a MTB, because the riding position is not the same.

Electric bike KTM woman

There is no range of KTM electric bikes for women. Indeed, the bikes are generally unisex. What can differentiate a electric bike for women from a man's model is possibly the ergonomics of its saddle, the size of its handlebars and the size/geometry of its frame.

That's why many of Scott's EV models come with open frames, which are easier to step over, no matter what you're wearing. This is the case of the KTM Macina Central RT 8 electric VTC, designed for your daily commute in the city or in the countryside. Its Bosch Active Line Plus motor with 50 Nm of torque is ideal if you live in a hilly area. It also has a 400 Wh battery. This high-end electric bike combines comfort and maneuverability. 

Which accessories for a KTM electric bike?

To ride your KTM electric bike safely, don't forget to buy a helmet. It is not compulsory for children under 12 years of age, but it is an essential element of safety, whether you are riding in the city, in the countryside or on rough terrain. If you plan to take your child with you, it is possible to attach a baby seat on the luggage rack, for trekking or city models.

In terms of lightsA bike must be sold with regulation lighting. KTM bikes are equipped with quality equipment, but if you wish, you can reinforce the lighting already present on your bike by attaching additional lights and reflectors.

Finally, KTM electric bikes are high-end models and bike theft has exploded in France in recent years. To park your ebike, it is therefore important to use a good anti-theft devicel and to do everything to protect it from theft by fixing it to solid elements.

How to take care of your KTM electric bike?

To prolong the life of your used KTM electric bicycle, it is important to maintain it regularly and to take care of it. It is strongly recommended to clean your KTM electric bike if it has been soiled by mud, dirt or even a ride in the sand.

Before each ride, check the pressure of the tires and the lubrication of the transmission. On a regular basis, you should also check the transmission components (chain, sprockets, chainring), cables and brake pads for wear. The most fragile (and also the most expensive!) part of your ebike is the battery. That's why we strongly advise you to disconnect the battery of your KTM electric bike when not in use for a long time or when stored outside. This will effectively slow down its aging process. Also avoid leaving it fully charged or discharged for long periods of time.
