Urban commuting for first-time bikers who can have all the attractive features that a Husqvarna machine boasts: an explosive mix of road, off-road and supermotard experiences.Only 80 kg of pure exhilaration, with an innovative design inspired and derived from the latest Husqvarna models, with features such as the striking side panels that makes this bike clearly a member of the Husqvarna family. The Concept E-go is Husqvarna's solution to electric motorcycling and how to enthuse the young generation to the spirit of riding and freedom.

    I want 2. One to terrorize the streets and one to build into a racer! Ahhh. I've been daydreaming about the brammo engage, but I want a husky :lol:

    I believe that is simply a design excersize to stoke up chatter about the husky brand. Lots of it does not make sense and is more of a shock value than anything real and usable like the single sided forks. That said it is very cool BMW and husky are putting so much into the brand and exploring new ideas / directions.

    Maybe on the chatter but as soon as that power supply is slimmed down in cost & weight ... that device will be main stream ... I'm glad I saw V8s, 2ts .... I'll pass on a silent bike that looks like a toothpick ...

    Kickstand on the right? Clearly that was BMW's idea...

    I like the design sense of the Husky E-go better than KTM`s Freeride and what Zero Motorcycles are showing.
