Husqvarna Motorcycles reveals new electric balance bike
Husqvarna Motorcycles has revealed the EE 1.20 2023 by STACYC, now offering an electric balance bike for every child up to 12 years old in its lineup.
The EE 1.20 allows riders to hone their skills. Once the new rider can push, balance and coast with the power off, the 36 V motor allows riders to work on throttle control and go feet-up on the tapered footrests. With the thrill and excitement of power delivery from a twist-action throttle, learning becomes fun.
The Low/Training power mode has a top speed of almost 10 mph and at about 33 pounds, the EE 1.20 is easy to push and lift. Young riders will be able to get both feed off the ground if they have an inseam of 23 inches or more. As confidence and control develop, two quicker power settings can be accessed, topping out at almost 20 mph in the High/Advanced mode.
An all-aluminum TIG-welded frame marshals the output of the electric motor, a Manitou J-Unit Machete front fork with 80 mm of travel absorbs the bumps, while hydraulic brakes front and rear guarantee safe stopping. Innova pneumatic tires on 20-inch wheels provide confident grip as young riders master their machine.
The EE 1.20 is fun, exciting and stylish. The new model is the perfect bridge from the smaller EE 1.12 and EE 1.16 to the EE 3 and EE 5 accessible electric minicycles.
