E-Bicycles are generally very
well-equipped, and their pric-
ing is massively competitive.
Husqvarna saves some
costs by steering away from
carbon or composite frame
construction and goes all-alu-
minum across the range with
6061 alloy. A Full Active 4-link
frame system handles suspen-
sion linkage/ratios, and motor
mounting is tucked underneath
it all via Husqvarna's proprietary Skeleton
Interface design that fits the EP8 (or other
motors, in theory) securely without altering
frame tubes above.
Also, possibly leaning on the motorcycle
manufacturing efficiency of the associated
brand, Husqvarna E-Bicycles incorporate a
stack of house-branded components that fill
bikes across the lineup. Handlebars, stems,
saddles, dropper seatposts, crank arms and
front chainrings are all Husqvarna brand.

feels just like a regular
MTB, just with some
serious boost on the
straights and up hills.

EP8 motor tucks under
the "Skeleton" frame
design of all the full-size
Husqvarna e-MTBs.
Husqvarna's 180mm
travel Enduro bike
stands tall but rides
smooth. Premium
components are at
the top end of the two
bikes offered.
