The Early Days of Moto
In the 1950s, Husqvarna’s ultra lightweight and compact ‘Silverpilen’ street model was the first choice for riders wanting to build offroad-capable self-modified bikes.
The first official European Motocross Championship was held in 1952, with the first World Championship running in 1957.
Husqvarna’s first motocross championship titles came in 1959 (Rolf Tibblin’s European 250 cc title) and 1960 (Bill Nilsson’s 500 cc world title).
In both 1962 and 1963 Husqvarna swept the 250 cc and 500 cc world titles in a single season with Rolf Tibblin and Torsten Hallman.
The first production motocross competition models arrived in 1963 with a production run of 100 replicas of Hallman’s championship bike.
Thanks to cross-Atlantic exploits to introduce the sport to the USA by riders like Torsten Hallman, the sport exploded in popularity in the late ‘60s and ‘70s.
By 1979 Husqvarna Motorcycles had clinched 13 motocross world titles, 9 Baja 1000 wins and multiple victories in the US nationals and legendary Trans-AMA series.

2022 Husqvarna EE5 Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits
HI-TECH DRIVETRAIN
ELECTRIC MOTOR
The electric motor fitted to the EE 5 produces a peak power output of 5 kW – much the same as its 2-stroke counterpart. The permanent magnet, air-cooled motor features an extremely compact and slim design, which is well suited to the smaller chassis. The electric motor is also air-cooled, water and dust-proof, making it largely maintenance free. Lastly, an integrated control unit (ECU) guarantees a direct, but very controllable and unintimidating power delivery in all conditions.
USABILITY
MULTIFUNCTIONAL INSTRUMENT
Ensuring users have all relevant information at a glance, a multi-functional instrument and display is located between the steering head and seat. The user can select 6 different ride modes with different power characteristics suited from beginners, up to experienced racers. In addition, the remaining battery charge is also displayed.
COMPETITION CHASSIS
FRAME
A high-strength chromium molybdenum steel frame houses the electric drivetrain and maintains carefully calculated parameters of longitudinal flex and torsional rigidity. This benefits handling characteristics and enhances the suspension functionality, guaranteeing precise cornering and outstanding stability.
DESIGN AND FUNCTION
HANDLEBAR
Ensuring stability and control at the helm, tapered NEKEN handlebars are mounted as standard. With a tapered diameter of 28 mm to 22 mm in the bends to cylindrical ends of 18 mm in the grip area, the narrower diameter benefits younger riders with better grip and less fatigue. The throttle assembly for the electronic drive features a vulcanized ODI grip mounted on the right-hand side, along with a bar pad on the handlebar brace to protect the rider from any rough contact.
