Welcome to the Family: Why We’re Backing KTM E-Bikes for 2027

A New Era Begins: Welcoming a True European Heavyweight to the E-Bikeshop Showroom Floor!

If you’ve been keeping a close eye on the electric bike industry lately, you’ll know that the landscape is shifting at an unprecedented pace. As we constantly hunt for the most reliable, best-equipped bikes to offer our riders, we're thrilled to announce a major addition to our line-up: a comprehensive, masterfully engineered range of 2027 e-bikes from KTM. 

From aggressive enduro mountain bikes to ultra-practical urban folders, the new KTM range has completely blown us away but bringing a new brand into the fold isn't a decision we take lightly. Here's a deeper look at exactly why we’ve chosen KTM, why their arrival couldn't be better timed, and which of their fantastic new bikes might just be your next perfect ride. 

Why Now? Navigating a Changing Industry

The European cycling industry has faced some immense turbulence over the past couple of years. In August 2026, the Accell Group (the massive parent company behind household names like Haibike, Raleigh, Ghost, and Lapierre) was officially declared bankrupt following severe financial difficulties. This collapse has led to factory closures and cast serious doubt over the future availability and warranty support of these historically popular brands in the UK market. 

We've not sugarcoated it: Haibike and Raleigh have always been core brands for us here at E-Bikeshop and their sudden loss leaves a hole of around 30 individual models to fill on our showroom floor which is around 20% of our total offering each year. With gradual decline of stability from manufacturers we’ve historically relied upon to meet demand and cover key product types, we knew we had to step up immediately and secure another dependable, European manufacturer to fill the void.

As it happened, the timing couldn't have been more perfect: KTM reached out to us looking to establish a partnership on their return to the UK. Our riders deserve absolute peace of mind, consistent parts availability, and bikes they can genuinely rely on for years to come. We needed a heavyweight brand with a proven track record of riding out economic storms - and that led us straight to Austria... 

Why We’ve Chosen KTM E-Bikes

First and foremost, we've traditionally always been a European bike specialist. While there are certainly plenty of other massive global brands out there (and we even considered straying outside of Europe a few times!), we've consistently chosen to support European manufacturers because of their unmatched reliability - not just in the exceptional quality of the product itself, but crucially in their aftercare and warranty support. Selling bikes is generally the easiest bit - looking after those customers for the next 10-12+ years is what really sets bike shops apart. 

When you hear the name KTM, you likely think of high-octane motorsport and legendary off-road capability. While the bicycle division operates independently from the motorcycle giant, they share the exact same DNA: a relentless commitment to robust engineering, premium performance, and bulletproof reliability.

KTM has been building bicycles in Mattighofen, Austria, since 1964. Rather than chasing fleeting industry fads or overcomplicating their designs with proprietary headaches, they focus entirely on what actually matters to riders: outstanding build quality, highly sensible geometry and utilising standardised, proven components. This ethos means a KTM bike is super easy and economical to service, ensuring it spends its life out in the wild rather than waiting for bespoke parts in our workshop.

KTM’s long standing partnership with Bosch eBike Systems absolutely sealed the deal for us. Whether it's the monumental 120Nm push of the new Performance CX motor or the brilliantly stealthy 45Nm Hub Line, combining KTM's bombproof frames with Bosch's industry-leading electronics guarantees a deeply trustworthy, class-leading ride every single time you head out.

Who Do These Products Suit?

The beauty of the 2027 KTM lineup is its sheer breadth. They’ve meticulously crafted a machine for virtually every type of rider: 

• The Gravity Chasers & Trail Explorers: If your weekends are spent conquering brutal Alpine descents or flowing UK singletrack, bikes like the Macina Prowler, Kapoho, and Lycan are absolute weapons of the bike part and trail centre. Featuring plush, long-travel suspension and full-power Bosch motors, they are built for riders who demand aggressive geometry and uncompromising off-road control.

• The Cross-Country Enthusiasts: For those who love tearing up woodland fire roads and mixed-terrain bridleways without the complexity of rear suspension, the Macina Team hardtail provides raw pedalling efficiency and massive battery range for all-day exploring.

• The Dedicated Tourers & Daily Commuters: The brilliantly equipped Macina Tour PX, Sport SX, and Joy hybrid models are absolute game-changers for everyday riding. Available in both crossbar and highly accessible low-step frames, they come fully loaded with integrated lights, mudguards, and pannier racks. They are perfect for mature riders, cycle tourers, and urban commuters who prioritise an upright, deeply comfortable riding posture.

• The Unbound Adventurers: Blurring the lines between road speed and off-road grit, the lightweight Macina Gravelator HX is a drop-bar dream. At just 17.5kg, it is the ultimate tool for bikepackers and adventurous roadies who want a stealthy tailwind while exploring neglected country lanes and deep forest gravel tracks.

• The Urban Space-Savers: For apartment dwellers, motorhome owners, and multi-modal commuters, the Macina Fold 20 is an incredibly clever solution. It packs a staggering 90Nm of torque and a zero-maintenance Gates carbon belt drive into a compact, folding frame that easily tucks away under a desk or on a train.
