Husqvarna is going electric, with the E-Pilen they are showing off their first electric motorcycle, one of several zero-emission models of the future.
With a zero-emission product range, Husqvarna wants to take a significant step towards the future, broadening the brand’s appeal and also appealing to a new target group.
Inspired by Vit- and Svartpilen
The E-Pilen was inspired by the Vitpilen and Svartpilen models and it shows. Husqvarna describes the E-Pilen’s role models as progressive, dynamic, forward-looking and design-oriented. These are exactly what the upcoming electric model range is expected to be trademarked as well. Several models for the road are apparently planned. It can be assumed that different performance levels will also be available here. Electric bikes for off-road use will certainly also be announced.
Data of the Husqvarna E-Pilen
The E-Pilen has a power output of 8 kW and a range of 100 km. It was primarily designed for commuters and recreational riders. When it comes to the battery solution, Husqvarna takes a flexible approach. They talk about “fast installed, as well as replaceable battery solutions.”
“The E-Pilen concept features a modular and interchangeable battery system that allows the power pack to be replaced…” So there will likely be no changeable batteries to save charging time, but the option to install larger or more powerful batteries or to upgrade the charging speed.
Husqvarna wants to expand the electric market
The new electric model lineup aims to maintain and continue the fun and dynamic ride that Husqvarna stands for. To drive the e-mobility initiative, they will strategically expand dealer presence in urban areas.
The electric street model lineup is said to be well underway with more information to be released in the near future.
