2024 Husqvarna EE3: SHAMES TOY-LIKE ELECTRIC MINICYCLES.
Introducing the 2024 Husqvarna EE3…
Based on the EE 5 and delivering the same high-level of quality as its competition focused counterpart, the EE 3 is fitted with an electric power pack delivering negligible noise emissions. Featuring the same chromium molybdenum frame, as well as durable suspension and advanced lightweight construction, the EE 3 differs significantly from the many ‘toy’-like electric minicycles on the market. The EE 3 is a fully-fledged motorcycle aimed at beginners and recreational riders alike. Additionally, near-silent operation makes the EE 3 more accessible to younger riders and better accepted in areas where noise emissions are restricted.
It was new for 2023, the EE 3 is the perfect machine for introducing young riders into the exciting world of offroad riding. Powered by a state-of-the-art electric motor capable of producing 3.8 kW of peak power, the EE 3 is expertly assembled with a chromium molybdenum frame, WP suspension, and high quality components. With six ride modes, customisable ergonomics thanks to an adjustable seat height, the EE 3 allows riders to increase their confidence as they grow, learning the fundamentals of riding offroad in a controllable manner. Additionally, the pioneering EE 3 produces next to no sound, which makes it perfect for riding in areas sensitive to sound emissions.

2024 Husqvarna EE3 Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits
Drivetrain
The permanent magnet electric motor features advanced design and excellent reliability. The motor is powered by 60 Li-Ion cells providing a capacity of 648 Wh in a low 48 V configuration.
An intelligent, state-of-the-art control unit is integrated within the package and guarantees instant but controllable power delivery. The use of an electric motor means there is a permanent drive eliminating the need for a clutch or gearbox, resulting in a simple and uncomplicated riding experience for young riders.
Electric motor
Producing peak power of 3.8 kW, the permanent magnet motor features an extremely compact and slim design well-suited to a smaller chassis. It is air-cooled and its dust and waterproof layout make the motor wear- and maintenance-free. The Integrated Control Unit (ECU) guarantees a direct but very controllable power delivery.
Battery
The EE 3 is fitted with 60 modern lithium-ion cells in a robust die-cast aluminum casing mounted just above the motor. The stored energy is 648 Wh, enough for more than two hours of riding for a beginner or up to 30 min for the fastest riders, depending on the terrain and conditions.
The integrated Battery Management System (BMS) ensures the longevity of the battery pack.
Multi-functional instrument
A multi-functional instrument located between the steering head and seat allows the user to select six different ride modes with different power characteristics suited to both beginners and advanced riders. In addition, the instrument displays the remaining charge of the battery.
Charger
An external worldwide charger supplying up to 900 W can be connected to any 110- or 230-Volt socket and plugs directly into the battery pack for easy charging.
Charging time 0 – 80% = 30 minutes
Charging time 0 – 100% = 60 minutes
Safety features
The EE 3 is fitted with a Rollover Sensor (ROS) to cut the power in the event of a crash or tip over. A wrist lanyard key (connection between wrist and kill switch) stops the motor in the event of a riding scenario where control is lost. The ride modes can be set using a dongle located below the seat to preventing younger riders selecting more powerful ride modes on their own.
Bodywork
The bodywork of the EE 3 is modelled after the successful full-size motocross range. This means that when scaled down, smaller riders experience the same ergonomics instilling confidence and comfort in all riding conditions. Additionally, the ergonomics and comfort allow riders to perform at their peak for extended periods of time.
Frame
The high-strength chromium molybdenum steel frame is specifically designed to house the electric drivetrain and integrates carefully calculated parameters of longitudinal flex and torsional rigidity to benefit handling and suspension functionality. It guarantees easy handling and precise cornering, along with outstanding stability.
Front suspension
Featuring advanced suspension technology, the EE 3 is fitted with WP XACT 35 mm forks. Besides being very light, the non-adjustable 35 mm USD forks feature exceptional damping and comfort characteristics allowing the rider to push their limit with complete confidence. With 144 mm of wheel travel, the fork is able to conquer the most challenging track conditions and let the rider concentrate on the ride.
Rear suspension
Linked directly to the swingarm, the WP monoshock is matched perfectly to the front forks for exceptional balance and damping characteristics. Additionally, the non-adjustable rear shock offers 133 mm of suspension travel providing advanced comfort on challenging track conditions.
Brakes
Featuring the same level of technology offered on the full-size motocross range, the EE 3 is fitted with hydraulically operated brake calipers and wave brake discs front and rear. Both brakes are hand actuated and ensure advanced brake feel and stopping performance in all conditions, while allowing young riders intuitive control.
Wheels
Mirroring the full-size motocross range, the EE 3 uses lightweight, black anodized, aluminum rims providing the highest strength and reliability. For the EE 3, these are 10” diameter. As on the EE 5, MAXXIS MAXXCROSS MX-ST tires provide progressive grip on a variety of terrain.
Seat height
The EE 3 allows the seat height to be adjusted at multiple levels. The standard model comes with a seat height of 23.6 in (600 mm), which can be easily reduced in two steps to 21.8 in (555 mm) by lowering the bodywork/seat, mounting the rear shock in an alternative position, and lowering the front fork in the triple clamps.
Handlebars
The tapered NEKEN handlebar is made of high-quality aluminum alloy, ensuring the best stability and durability. Its diameter reduces from 28 mm in the central area to 18 mm at the controls. Here, a thinner lock-on ODI grip is mounted on the left side while an innovative throttle assembly for the electronic drive with a vulcanized ODI grip is mounted on the right. The thinner diameter is a major benefit to youth riders, affording better grasp while riding, increasing control and drastically reducing fatigue. A crash pad on the handlebar protects the rider from impacts.
Graphics
Modelled after the full-size motocross bikes, the EE 3 features striking, modern graphics in white, yellow and light blue, echoing its Swedish brand heritage and differentiating its electric drive. Additionally, the graphics are applied using an in-mold process to ensure the best durability and quality.
