Husqvarna intends to have an electric motorcycle among its ranks soon, and we’ve been given a glimpse of the shape it will take with the E-Pilen concept.
The E-Pilen streetbike will look familiar to anyone who’s kept up with Husqvarna the past few years, as it takes its styling cues from the brand’s distinctive Vitpilen and Svartpilen models. Primarily in the shape of the tank, the minimalist café look, single round headlight, and tailsection. It’s a good fit for an electric bike and even though the details of the bike are obscured by all that dramatic lighting, it looks like Husqvarna will have an elegant, well-proportioned machine at the finish line.
Husqvarna assures us its emobility line development is well along its way but for now the details of the E-Pilen are sparse. The concept provides 8kW of power and a little over 62 miles of range on a charge. It also has a swappable battery so riders can easily exchange battery packs, but the company continues to explore the benefits of fixed battery configurations as well. No additional specs are provided at this time.
Husqvarna has already dipped its toes in the electric pool with its EE 5 motocrosser for kids, so we’ll be looking forward to seeing what the brand eventually offers up to adults. There’s no indication of when Husqvarna plans to release additional details on the E-Pilen however.
