KTM owners are getting a new electric motorcycle partnership

Pierer Mobility Group has added another chain to its distribution bow, with Zeeho now falling under its import and distribution umbrella.

You may have never heard of Zeeho, and this may seem like a move that came out of nowhere. But that’s not entirely true, because Zeeho is the electric subdivision of CFMoto, with which PMG – owner of the Husqvarna, GasGas and KTM brands, and which has a controlling stake in MV Agusta – has had a relationship for many years. CFMoto makes the 790cc parallel-twin engine used in the KTM 790 Duke and 790 Adventure, and uses the KTM RC4 GP bike in the Moto3 World Championship (in which it has won three races so far this year with Aspar driver David Alonso).

The new partnership between PMG and Zeeho means that the Austrian company will become the exclusive importer and distributor of the Chinese manufacturer in Europe. As a result, three of the brand’s electric bikes will be coming to Europe: the AE6+, the AE8 S+ and the C!ty Sport.

The AE6+ and AE8 S+ are both electric scooters, the 6 being the equivalent of 125cc compared to the more looking 8.

The Model 6 (above) has a maximum power of 7.3 horsepower, which helps propel it to a top speed of 50 mph and hit 31 mph in 4.6 seconds, and it’ll still go 62 miles on a single charge.

On the other hand, the AE8 S+ (above) pumps 16bhp to the rear wheel, which is a bit strange, really, at least in a European context, because it’s below the top end of the 125cc segment but also above the A1’s cut-off. However, it will reach 31 mph in 2.6 seconds and reach a top speed of 62 mph. Charging takes five hours, and a full charge will take you 62 miles.

The C!ty Sport (above) is the most motorcycle-looking of the three, but has the least performance. It’s a moped, but it has a range of just 74 kilometers (46 miles) and you’ll have to make do with an output of 1.8 kW, or 2.4 hp. That will still get you to a top speed of 27 mph.
