KTM knows how to make competitive dirtbikes… I guess now they are trying their hand at making a well-performing electric dirtbike. Is the a sign of things to come, with more manufacturers jumping into the electric motorcycle arena? What will a motocross race sound like without wailing exhaust notes pumping from dozens of bikes all at once? Will we just hear the sound of dirt flying off tires, and the thud of suspension compressing as riders come down off of jumps?

The more I think about the future, the weirder it seems.

Check out othermakes.net for their take on the bike, and you can hit up the FIM international website for more images from the exhibit.
