2027 KTM SX-E 2.12 Electric Kids' Motorbike Launched: Price, Specs and UK Release Date
KTM has launched the 2027 SX-E 2.12, a £2,549 electric mini bike with a 12-inch front wheel, 1.8 kW hub motor and 29 kg weight. It arrives at UK dealers from mid-October 2026.
KTM has added the SX-E 2.12 to its electric mini bike line-up, sitting between the SX-E 2 and SX-E 3 and aimed at taller young riders.
The new bike costs £2,549 and will be available from authorised KTM dealers nationwide from mid-October 2026.
The bike uses an extended version of the SX-E 2's centre tube aluminium extrusion frame, while a 12-inch front wheel replaces the SX-E 2's 10-inch unit. It also gains taller suspension hardware to give it a more lofty stance.
Up front is a WP hydraulic fork with 90mm of travel. At the rear, a preload-adjustable 34 mm hydraulic monoshock mounts directly to the swingarm and offers 70mm of travel. KTM says the two are matched for balance and damping.
Seat height rises by 66mm over the SX-E 2's 500mm maximum. Ground clearance and wheelbase also increase, while the bike’s weight is unchanged at 29kg.
Power comes from a 1.8kW hub-mounted motor that produces up to 50Nm (36.88lb ft) of torque. A 9.4Ah lithium-ion power-tool-type battery feeds it. With no chain or sprockets, the hub motor layout keeps weight down, adds safety in a crash and should be reduced maintanence, according to KTM.
The bike is silent in operation, making it suitable for back gardens and built-up areas with strict noise limits. That said, as it’s not road legal or homologated, it can only be used on private land and with the owners’ permission.
A 500 W external charger connects to any 110- or 230-volt socket and takes approximately 60 minutes for a full charge,
A roll-over sensor cuts power in the event of a crash or tip-over. A wrist lanyard key connects the rider directly to the kill switch, which stops the motor if the rider loses control.
