KTM is a name many people in the UK will have heard of, either as a result of our extensive range of motorbikes or the X-Bow car.
However, what is less well known is that we have also been making bicycles in our factory in Austria since 1964.
Product testing back in the day
KTM Bike Industries have been producing e-bikes since the concept first came about and we are now one of the leading manufacturers of e-bikes in Europe.
KTM bikes have been available in the UK since 2012 and one of our priorities is to help and support the development of the e-bike market here.
The bikes are built by hand in the factory in Austria. They are painted and fully assembled by the team there.
Even the graphics are applied by hand in Europe
