The Husqvarna Pioneer Added To Brand’s Electric Range

After seeing parent company KTM introduce its very own Freeride E electric model a couple of months ago, Husqvarna has taken the covers off its new Pioneer motorcycle, an off-road enduro bike that’s also street-legal.

The new Pioneer model from Husqvarna is the newest electric motorcycle in its range and will serve as the big brother in comparison to the EE5 motocross model (also new for 2025) which is designed for young riders and only produces 2.6 hp. The Pioneer comes in with a peak electric power output of 25.7 hp which puts it just above the KTM Freeride E (25.4).

A 5.5kWh lithium-ion battery provides up to three hours of running time and can be replaced with a fully charged spare within 10 minutes should it be necessary. Using the supplied 660W charger, a full recharge can be achieved in eight hours using a standard household supply. With the Pioneer designed to be ridden in all types of off-road conditions, the battery and motor are all IP 67 components, making them fully dust and waterproof.

Easily the flashiest element of this bike is the suspension as the new Pioneer model features an adjustable WP setup that offers 250mm of travel for the front and 240mm of travel at the rear. Riders also have the ability to customise the settings to suit their requirements. The WP XACT forks feature an air spring, and the new Pioneer is supplied with a fork pump to adjust the pressure as required.

Other features that come standard on the Pioneer model include ProTaper handlebars, Braktec brakes and Michelin enduro tyres. A 21-inch wheel comprises the front of the bike and an 18-inch is fitted to the rear. The bike weighs a modest 112kg.

The new electric model from Husqvarna will land in dealerships in March 2025, although UK pricing has not yet been confirmed.
