Husqvarna continued its pioneering ways by introducing a street-legal eMoto machine at EICMA on Tuesday morning. Although biased for off-road use, the 2025 Pioneer is said to be street legal in the USA. A 5.5 kWh Li-Ion battery offers a range of up to 85 miles and a running time of up to three hours. The 11 kW motor provides a peak power output of 19.2 kW and 37.6 Nm of torque.
Selectable ride modes further enhance the riding experience, with three options to suit varying abilities as well as the terrain, the perfect amount of power is always delivered to the rear wheel. In addition, Traction Control can be activated in conjunction with any ride mode, while three levels of energy recuperation for the battery are available—energy recuperation modes also adjust levels of engine braking. All options are easily engaged using the handlebar-mounted switch cube.
The 11 kW electric motor used to power the Pioneer was designed and developed in-house by Husqvarna Mobility. With no clutch or gearbox, the Pioneer offers beginners an easy introduction to riding motorcycles, while allowing those with more experience to master more technical terrain with ease. Adding to the simplicity of riding the machine is the rear brake, which is operated by a lever on the left side of the ProTaper handlebars.
Adjustable WP suspension, offering 250mm of travel front and 240mm of travel rear, ensures all riders can customize the settings to suit their requirements. The WP XACT forks feature an air spring, and the Pioneer is supplied with the pump required to adjust the pressure. Additionally, the compression and rebound can be fine-tuned using the easy-access clickers. The WP XPLOR PDS rear shock offers both high and low speed compression, rebound, and preload adjustment to ensure maximum comfort and traction.
