How does it compare?
When you stack the Husqvarna EE up against other electric motorcycles in its class and price range, its not just about numbers; its an electrified ride into the future. Lets put the Husqvarna EE side by side with titans like the KTM SX-E 5, Cake Kalk OR, and the OSET 24.0 Racing, shall we? The gauntlet has been thrown.
Speed
The Husqvarna EE delivers a no-frills, whip-crack speed of 45 km/h (about 28 mph). Not blazingly fast by any means, but for its intended use and category, speed isnt everything. Meanwhile, the KTM SX-E 5 matches it nearly stride for stride with a top speed of roughly 45 km/h (28 mph). The Cake Kalk OR however, takes the leap to 85 km/h (53 mph), making short work of the off-road terrain. OSET 24.0 Racing drifts back to a more leisurely 50 km/h (31 mph), which might leave speed demons wanting.
Range
The range game, where range anxiety meets its match. Husqvarna EE offers a solid 2 hours of run-time, perfect for weekend trail rides. The KTM SX-E 5 doesn’t wander far, giving about 2 hours as well. Up the ante with the Cake Kalk OR, where you get a robust 3 hours of off-road shenanigans or 85 km (53 miles) on mixed terrain. The OSET 24.0 Racing stays in the middle ground with a constant 3-hour run-time, a satisfactory compromise for most riders.
Power
If watts make you wheezy, the Husqvarna EE throws down 5 kW, an E-punch fit for purpose. The KTM SX-E 5 offers a virtually identical 5 kW. The Cake Kalk OR cranks it up to 11 kW, ensuring its as electrifying as its name. The OSET 24.0 Racing, with its more modest 2.5 kW, might seem a bit underwhelming but sufficient for its designed track.
Charging Time
A brief respite to refuel the juice box. The Husqvarna EE demands a respectable 70-minute wait. Matching it, the KTM SX-E 5 insists on around 70 minutes. However, the Cake Kalk OR extends this patience-test to 3 hours, which might be a touch frustrating. And the OSET 24.0 Racing? Around 3 hours as well, enough time to catch lunch and some nap perhaps.
Price
The financial plunge into the electric abyss. The Husqvarna EE stands firmly at $5499, approximately £4460, or €5260. The KTM SX-E 5 flaunts a slightly higher ticket at $5199 (£4225, €4975). For those willing to shell out for more panache, the Cake Kalk OR is your £11,000 (£8950, €10499) darling. Lastly, the OSET 24.0 Racing comes in around $4299 (£3488, €4110).
