KTM E3W Electric Three-Wheeler: 2011 Frankfurt Preview
Electric Car News | admin | August 11, 2011 at 12:05 pm
This is the KTM E3W two-seat electric three-wheeler which will be shown at the upcoming 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show next month.
To keep the E3W’s weight low, the electric three-wheeler gets a plastic body, meaning the E3W weights merely 500kg.
The KTM E3W is powered by a 15kW electric motor and a lithium-ion battery pack, which has a claimed range of around 100 km (60 miles) and a top speed of 95km/h (about 60mph).
The KTM E3W features Lamborghini-inspired scissor doors which open vertically and seats placed exactly like in a regular car.
KTM is hoping to produce 50,000 units of the E3W per year from 2013, priced at between 5,000 and 8,000 euros ($7000 and $11,000).
The KTM E3W was developed with the Austrian Technology Institute and partially sponsored by the Vienna government.
