2024 KTM Mini Electric Dirt Bikes First Look

For kid beginner riders and supercross racers alike.

July 22, 2023

KTM continues to offer two electric youth motocross bikes in 2024 with its SX-E 3 and SX-E 5. No changes have been made to the mini electric off-road motorcycles, so they’re still powered by an air-cooled 48-volt BLDC motor, have a double-cradle chromoly steel frame, and slow via 160mm discs on both wheels. Battery capacity differs between the two with the SX-E 3′s at 648Wh and the SX-E 5′s at 907Wh.

Being lower to the ground, the SX-E 3 also has less suspension travel with 5.7 inches front and 5.2 inches rear, while the SX-E 5 offers 8.1 and 7.3 inches, respectively. The SX-E 5 also has a larger 12-inch front wheel, and both models are spec’d with Maxxis MX-ST tires. According to KTM, the SX-E 3 weighs 86 pounds and the SX-E 5 hits the scales at 90 pounds. Scroll down for more information, photos, and specifications of the Austrian manufacturer’s 2024 electric dirt bikes for kids.
