Husqvarna E-Pilen electric motorcycle concept was unveiled in April 2021. It was speculated to be introduced in several international markets next year, however, there was no official confirmation about the same, until now. According to one of Pierer Mobility's 2021 presentation slides, Husqvarna E-Pilen's launch has been confirmed. The electric motorcycle, along with the brand's new e-scooter, is slated to hit several foreign markets in 2022. Both these electric two-wheelers are currently under development.
Looking at the E-Pilen concept, it follows
Husqvarna’s design language that can be seen implemented in its petrol-powered
motorcycles. Though the E-Pilen is still under development, expect the
production model to look quite similar to this concept. As per the available info,
the E-Pilen would be made available in two configurations - 4kW and 8kW. Its
battery pack would be able to provide a max range of 100 km. Speaking of range,
the E-Pilen would feature the modular battery system that would allow owners to
exchange/swap the power pack extending the appeal and utility of the electric
motorcycle.
KTM and Bajaj Auto have been working
together on a 48V electric two-wheeler platform for quite a while now. This
platform is capable of producing between 4kW and 11kW of power (5.36 to 14.75 horsepower). With a 4kW electric motor, Bajaj Chetak
electric scooter makes use of a variant of this platform. Now, the Husqvarna
E-Pilen will become the first electric motorcycle to utilise the same platform.
