Husqvarna eBikes

[Deere John]

Saw that Husqvarna that has made great motorcycles for long time now are bringing some ebikes also! Six models from a full-suspension to a city tourer. Most awesome!

What do you think? I think they are very sexy. Some frames remind of Haibikes!?

Bit of backround for you.

There are 2 KTM's, like the Twix factories. One makes bikes and one makes motorbikes. They are separate, but both in Mattigohofen (the M in KTM).

The bicycle bit, has the rights to the pedelec market.

The motorbike bit, doesn't. The motorbike bit, owns Husquvana.

The motorbike bit want to make eBikes.

A new company (Pexco GmbH) officially launched last year. Pexco owners are the former Winora managers Susanne and Felix Puello, also reputed for the Haibike e-MTB successes - so yes you'll see lots of Haibike in the new Pexco brands. (There are 3 brands being set up). KTM Motorbikes are a partner in this project, but they can't use the KTM name, for obvious reasons, which is why they are using the Husqvana one. Its just a Husqvana sticker really, on what is essentially a Haibike, I'm sure.

ok, seems Winora/KTM/HQ is tightly connected.

Well well, interesting. But Haibike doesn't have Shimano Steps bikes? Now there is

price is steep though, to be expected, like a top-end Haibike.

Here is the MC7 (Mountain Cross 7, top of the line), for 4999 Euro:

found a new great article here:

I like the HT-model, very nice, a such with plus-sized would be a great candidate for next ebike

Here is the LC4 (Light Cross), an LC5 would be better though.
