The 2025 Husqvarna Pioneer is a new electric dual-sport motorcycle. It is street legal, and its indicators, horn, and license plate holder can be removed for exclusive off-road use.
Powering the Pioneer is a power pack that will be shared with other Husqvarna models in upcoming years. The 11kW motor produces a claimed peak of 19.2 kW (25.7 hp) and 27.7 lb-ft of torque, and top speed is claimed to be 59 mph. As an electric bike, the Pioneer has one permanent drive, with no clutch or gearbox. Electric Bicycle Price
The MX50 5.5 kWh lithium-ion battery weights 63.9 lb and offers two to three hours of enduro-style riding time. It comes with a 660W charger that can charge from 0-100% in eight hours, and an optional 3.3 kW charger reduces charge time to two hours. Husqvarna says the battery can be removed in 10 minutes to swapped with a fully charged spare battery, and it takes 1,000 recharges until the battery reaches an 80% state of health.
The Pioneer’s LCD display features a simple layout limited to only key info. Riders can toggle from state of charge, ride mode, recuperation level, clock, tripmeter, accumulated run time, and odometer. Three ride modes alter torque and power delivery, and recuperation can also be set from Off, Mid, or High. Traction control is switchable and adjusted per ride mode. Additional tech includes a Rollover Sensor to cut power after a crash or tip-over.
The Husqvarna Pioneer has a chromoly steel frame with the motor and battery as stressed members. The subframe is made of aluminum and glass-fiber-reinforced nylon. The bike’s overall weight is a claimed 246.9 lb, seat height is 35.8 inches, and ground clearance is 13.5 inches.
A WP XACT 43mm fork is fully adjustable and offers 9.8 inches of travel. In the rear, the WP XPLOR PDS shock is also fully adjustable and offers 9.4 inches of travel. The black-anodized rims (21-inch front, 18-inch rear) are wrapped in Michelin Enduro tires.
Since the Husqvarna Pioneer doesn’t have a clutch, the rear brake is operated via a lever on the left side of the handlebar, similar to a bicycle brake setup. Braking components are made by Braktec, with a 260mm front disc and a 220mm rear disc. The handlebar is made by ProTaper.
