My Freeride has 71 Hours and almost 1,300 miles when I get my first Fault Code. The bike will not run. It turns out to be Blink Code 44. This indicates that the auxiliary 12V Battery needs be either charged or replaced. I charged mine using a trickle charger. That solved the problem, for now.

A long traffic jam could eat up the 12V so if you turn the bike off for a bit, it might not start again. I want to replace the lousy standard battery with a quality kit any suggestions?

I'm not sure how technical of a ride you like, I'd rate the trails that I was on as mild. They are good for a family ride. I do have a coworker who frequently camps and rides there for 2-3 days at a time, he really enjoys it. My biggest concern is that you have to be aware of oncoming traffic, and I've heard the parking/camping areas can get congested over weekends. I hope this helps, if you have any more questions just reply, and I'll try to answer.

    This is good information. Sorry you went through that. I was thinking that the 12v only charged through forward motion. Am I correct? (I've seen videos of "no start" situation because 12v is completely flat even when power pack battery is fully charged, but 12v monitors ALL other functions except motor. ) Any codes will be a big problem for me as my nearest KTM e-tech is 2 states away. Is that 12v moto battery lithium? easily found at shops or dealers? (I ask because I've never seen pos/neg terminals like that.) Regardless.. well done,, keep it coming!

    • @gtoutrider5762
      @gtoutrider5762 Před 3 lety

      Hi Dan. According to the Owner's Manual under Recuperation, in Riding Mode 1 (Economy), the Powerpack HV (not the 12V Battery) is charged by the electric motor when the throttle grip is fully closed in overrun. Basically an engine braking effect that increases with motor speed. Recuperation is not available in Modes 2 & 3. The Manual also states that the 12V Battery is only charged if the Powerpack HV is being charged in the vehicle, as opposed to removing the Powerpack HV and charging it. So, no, forward motion does not charge the 12V Battery. The 12V Battery is not Lithium. It is a YUASA NP1.2-12 valve regulated lead acid battery, 12V 1.2 Ah. However, it is very small and light (I weighed it at 0.58 kg (1.28 lbs)), and is easy to remove and install. It's currently available on Amazon Prime for ~$18, and as low as ~$6 on other sites. The Manual also states that when the 12V Battery has been discharged (Fault Code 44), recharge the 12V Battery immediately. FYI, I've ridden the bike several times since this incident with no problems. Hope this helps!

If you get this error, you may be able to charge the battery a couple of times, but I'd recommend a new auxiliary battery. Also, if you are riding remote locations, I recommend buying another auxiliary battery as a spare and carry it with you. Yes, this is a pain, but it's better than being stranded. To recharge during riding: I don't think it matters what mode you are riding, the main battery should charge the auxiliary, similar to an alternator. If and when you get this error code, it's probably a good indication that a new auxiliary battery is needed. Mine lasted about a year. Enjoy your new '22 Freeride!

    That small little auxiliary battery is easy to accidentally leave the key on the headlight and tail light can drain enough power to trigger the 44 code. One time while unloading the bikes preparing to go ride I left the key on for probably 30 minutes and sure enough code 44 flashing.

    Thank you, sir! Exactly the test I'd asked so many other KTM Freeride E-XC owners to do and none did. There were a couple that did mode 1 reviews, but they rode it hard and wide open, which kind of defeats the purpose of Mode 1 Eco. Your test better simulates a slow family trail ride. That 26.3 miles range at that cold of temperatures of 23F - 33F surprised me. I bet at a comfortable 65F - 75F temps, one could get 30 - 35 miles; about the same as my Surron X. But the KTM is a much more comfortable bike (riding position, quality moto suspension rather than mountain bike suspension, larger diameter wheels/tires to roll over rough trail, etc.). Maybe the KTM is back in the running for me. Or could fill the gap for a couple years while waiting for a true 50 - 60 mile range trail bike to come out. Really appreciate your being responsive to a request for this content and for taking the time especially when it was below freezing temps! Top notch. Thank you!

    Great vid. Thanks for taking the time to do it. I've been riding a Surron X the last couple years and can get 25 - 35 miles on easy, family mountain trail rides in eco mode. Have to take one of the ICE bikes for our typical 50 - 60 mile rides. Really looking forward to an E-dirtbike that is closer to fullsize like the KTM Freeride or Surron Storm that can do an honest 40 - 50 miles out of it on eco trail rides. That may not be until the next generation KTM by the sounds of it. Any chance you can do a max range ride in Mode 1 "eco"? Terrain seems to make a fair bit of difference (asphalt/packed gravel vs trail rides). Not sure what you have for trail riding in your area. Very few KTM riders are doing mode 1 rides. I know it's not exciting, but the data is valuable to many of us looking for a Edirtbike for family trail rides. Thanks!
