Husky’s electric scoot
Husqvarna have unveiled another electric concept to add to their steadily growing ‘e-mobility’ quiver. The strangely named ‘Vektorr’ is designed to show us what Husky describe as a ‘tantalising vision of what a move into electric urban mobility will look like’ although we can’t help but think it shows us something that looks a lot like a traditional internal combustion scooter – a far cry from the wild concepts we’ve seen from others. There’s little in the way of proper info about the bike although they do say it will have a top speed of 28mph and a maximum range of 65 miles, which pretty much limits it to buzzing around town.
Alongside the Vektorr, Husky also unveiled a folding scooter called the Bltz (presumably missing an ‘i’ because they spent all the budget on the extra R in Vektorr) both of which join the recently revealed E-Pilen. These new bikes are part of a big push from Husqvarna to be at the cutting edge of electrification, having recently joined a consortium with Honda, KTM, Yamaha and Piaggio to agree a standard for swappable battery technology.
