General information

–  The KTM Freeride E-SX is a high-voltage electric motorcycle with a lithi-

um-ion battery (KTM PowerPack, 260 V). 

–  The high-voltage components in the vehicle are identified by yellow warning 

labels. 

–  The high-voltage cables in the motor housing and in the KTM PowerPack can 

be identified by the orange color of their insulation.

–  Before beginning work on the vehicle, switch off the main switch 

 on the 

right side of the handlebar  .

Version 1: Lightly damaged vehicle 

(Orange high-voltage cable is not visible, no visible damage to 
KTM PowerPack)

1.  Switch off the main switch 

   .

2.  Unlock the seat 

 and fold it up.

3.  Disconnect the 12-V battery 

.

4.  Loosen the hex screws size 10 

.

5.  Remove the KTM PowerPack 

.

Version 2: Severely damaged vehicle 

(Orange high-voltage cable is visible and/or metallic penetration of 
the KTM PowerPack)

 
 

The intrinsic safety of the high-voltage system of the vehicle cannot be 

determined from the outside.

 

Using suitable high-voltage protective equipment, the vehicle must be 

de-energized by removing the KTM PowerPack (high-voltage battery).

1.  Switch off the main switch 

   .

2.  Unlock the seat 

 and fold it up.

3.  Disconnect the 12-V battery 

.

4.  Loosen the hex screws size 10 

.

5.  Remove the KTM PowerPack (high-voltage battery, 260 V) 

 

and store in a 

safe place until it can be submitted to a specialist workshop.

Version 3: Vehicle fire

–  In the event of a vehicle fire, the usual regulations for low-voltage systems 

apply.

–  If the KTM PowerPack was affected by the fire, the extinguishing and cool-

ing process may take up to 24 hours. The surroundings must be protected 
accordingly.

–  To cool a burning KTM PowerPack, use large quantities of water.
–  When using branch pipes and water as an extinguishing agent, maintain a 

safety distance of 

1 m for spraying

 and 

5 m for a full jet of water
