is determined to not fall behind as motorcycles transition to . The bike maker has reworked its Vitpilen design and adapted it for electrification to show off a new EV concept, the .

The bike is just a for now, and there’s still no confirmation that it will be a production model. It’s notable however, because the concept aligns with other possibly on the way, and it even uses .

Husqvarna has shown it’s a strong believer in the longevity of its bikes. The and were originally announced in a total of four configurations, and either bike is available as a 401 or 701 model, to attract a wider range of riders.

A smaller version recently joined the Husky stable, the , and this E-Pilen seems to follow in a similar direction. It’s meant to be a two-wheeler for urban use, with output comparable to that of the new 125cc motorcycle. If the Svartpilen is a small-discplament scrambler you could maybe try to take on fire roads, the E-Pilen is more of an electric Vitpilen to take on city streets.

The E-Pilen will have a range of about 62 miles and a power output of 8kW, as you can see from the lettering along its seat. That is a little more than 10 horsepower, four fewer horses than the Svartpilen 125. I suppose the instant torque of its electric drivetrain could make you forget about the power loss, though.

I am very interested to know how much the E-Pilen weighs — and comparing that to the weight of the Svartpilen 125. The Svart is not a lightweight considering its displacement, and I wonder how the bikes will handle relative to each another.

Husqvarna also that it plans to expand its dealer network, and that may have something to do with weaving a better infrastructure catering to riders on its future EVs. Its network will likely not be as impressive as something from the likes of , but it’s still pretty neat to imagine riding into your city’s Husky dealer and swapping out spent batteries for fresh ones.
