Husqvarna is giving eco-conscious urban riders yet another mount to consider in the new Vektorr electric scooter concept. Earlier this month the brand revealed its E-Pilen electric motorcycle, essentially aimed at the same crowd, in a push to broaden its rider base and position itself as a competitive player in the burgeoning electric motorcycle market.
Technical details are slim, with Husqvarna calling out a top speed of just 27 mph and range of 59 miles per charge. No other specs are provided for the Vektorr at this time.
In the styling department, the Vektorr is undeniably Husqvarna, with crisp clean lines that put it right at home with the E-Pilen and gas-powered cousins like the Svartpilen and Vitpilen.
If you happen to find yourself in Austria, you can pop over to the Pierer Mobility AG special exhibition in the KTM Motohall in Mattighofen to see the Vektorr and E-Pilen concepts in person.
Huqvarna also announced a Bltz stand-up scooter concept, which will also be on display in the KTM Motohall exhibit. Stand-up scooters offer urban riders another mobility option that’s perhaps a bit more approachable than a scooter or motorcycle. The Bltz will max out at just over 12 mph.
When these models, and the E-Pilen, finally do make it to production, they’re sure to find their feet in international markets first. Husqvarna says as much when it indicates that it’s “actively searching for qualified dealers in large metropolitan areas in Europe.” That’s all to say that it’ll likely be a few years before anyone Stateside is able to purchase an E-Husky.
