New 2021 Husqvarna EE 5 Dirt Bike Motorcycle

2021 Husqvarna® EE 5, 2021 Husqvarna® EE 5

The EE 5 is Husqvarna Motorcycles’ first step into electric mobility, drawing on the brand’s rich motocross history combined with modern, pioneering technology. Powered by an adjustable electric motor capable of rivalling its 50cc fuel-powered counterparts, it is perfect for young racers and grassroots beginners. The EE 5 is also fully adaptable and adjustable for height, making it accessible to younger riders. Additionally, low noise and zero carbon emissions make the EE 5 more accessible to younger riders and more accepted in areas where noise emissions are restricted.

Features may include:

• ELECTRIC MOTOR

The electric motor fitted to the EE 5 produces a peak power output of 5 kW – much the same as its 2-stroke counterpart. The permanent magnet, air-cooled motor features an extremely compact and slim design, which is well suited to the smaller chassis. The electric motor is also air-cooled, water and dust-proof, making it largely maintenance free. Lastly, an integrated control unit (ECU) guarantees a direct, but very controllable and unintimidating power delivery in all conditions.

• BATTERY

Powering the electric motor in the EE 5 are 84 modern lithium ion cells, mounted in a robust die-cast aluminium casing. This accounts for 907 Wh of stored energy, giving the EE 5 up to two hours of general riding, or 25 minutes of fast-paced full-power racing. The integrated battery management system (BMS) further ensures the safety and longevity of the battery pack.

• MULTIFUNCTIONAL INSTRUMENT

Ensuring users have all relevant information at a glance, a multi-functional instrument and display is located between the steering head and seat. The user can select 6 different ride modes with different power characteristics suited from beginners, up to experienced racers. In addition, the remaining battery charge is also displayed.

• SAFETY

In the event of a fall or tip over, the EE 5 is fitted with a roll-over sensor which cuts power. A wrist lanyard key also acts as a safety net in the event of an uncontrollable riding scenario. Further, all ride modes can be saved or ‘locked’ with the use of a dongle located below the seat. This prevents younger riders from inadvertently activating more powerful ride modes.

• FRAME

A high-strength chromium molybdenum steel frame houses the electric drivetrain and maintains carefully calculated parameters of longitudinal flex and torsional rigidity. This benefits handling characteristics and enhances the suspension functionality, guaranteeing precise cornering and outstanding stability.

• SUSPENSION

The EE 5 is fitted with premium suspension, making it remarkably capable as a mini-racer. On the front, revolutionary lightweight WP XACT 35 mm forks offer exceptional damping and rider comfort. With 205 mm of wheel travel, th
