We’ve had the opportunity to speak with Jared Weems of Weems Motor Co. in Tampa, FL a few times now. Whenever we get that chance, we always take it because Jared creates some of the coolest custom Triumphs around. Case in point, this 1956 Triumph Drag Bike seen at Fuel Cleveland earlier this summer. It’s […]

This bike is the perfect choice for riders still finding their feet — and throttle.
Positioning itself at the grassroots level, the KTM SX-E 3 charges into the electric lineup as the ideal starter package for aspirant young riders. With a tailored power output, smaller wheels and lower seat height, it is the perfect choice for riders still finding their feet — and throttle.
Following its success in the European Junior E-Motocross Championship, the KTM SX-E 5 has become a very viable proposition for young mini-cross racers, with further acclaim given by Freestyle MX legend Robbie Maddison’s sons Kruz and Jagger — not to mention its everyday usability as demonstrated by Zoe Birch when exploring with dad Chris.
These accolades have paved the way for the KTM SX-E 3, taking its position as a true entry-level motorcycle rather than an electric-powered mini-cycle.
Like the KTM SX-E 5, the KTM SX-E 3 delivers the same high-quality and advanced technology as its more powerful counterpart. Featuring the same chromium molybdenum frame, durable suspension and advanced lightweight construction, the KTM SX-E 3 retains all the “big bike” attributes but in more user-friendly packaging.
Powered by the same permanent magnet electric motor in the KTM SX-E 5, the KTM SX-E 3 has an output of 3.8 kilowatts, with the 60 lithium-ion cells providing a capacity of 648 watt-hours in a low 48-volt configuration. This results in approximately two hours of ride time between charges.
Upfront, 35-millimeter, non-adjustable WP XACT USD forks take care of the bumps, providing 144 millimeters of wheel travel. On the rear, a WP monoshock is mounted directly to the swingarm, offering 133 millimeters of travel, and is perfectly matched to the front forks.
In keeping with its smaller dimensions, the KTM SX-E 3 is fitted with 10-inch, black-anodized, lightweight aluminum wheels front and rear, wrapped in MAXXIS MX-ST tires. This complements the stock seat height of 600 millimeters.
The KTM SX-E 3 also features an adjustable seat height, which can be reduced to 555 millimeters by lowering the bodywork/seat, mounting the rear shock in an alternative position and lowering the front fork in the triple clamps. From a safety standpoint, the KTM SX-E 3 is fitted with a rollover sensor, which will cut power as a result of a crash or tip-over. This is supported by a wrist-worn lanyard key, which also stops the motor in the event of an uncontrollable riding scenario. Additionally, the low noise emissions make the KTM SX-E 3 more accessible to younger riders by being less intimidating and more accepted in areas where noise emissions are restricted.
Keeping the KTM SX-E 3 charged is easy, thanks to an external charger supplying up to 900 watts. This can be connected to any 110- or 230-volt socket and plugs directly into the battery pack for easy charging, with a full charge from empty taking approximately 70 minutes.
