quick-charging 36-volt Husqvarna BLi300 battery – the same style as found in Husqvarna electric mowers and chainsaws – with a runtime of up to 100 minutes . Charging time from flat to full is listed as one hour , but with the battery being a readily available unit from the existing Husqvarna stable , grabbing a spare to keep the fun going all day shouldn ’ t be a problem . Considering its positioning as an entrylevel product , the EE 2 sports some decent specs . The frame , swingarm , and skid plate are aluminium , while the suspension comes courtesy of WP just as on the full-sized motos . The braking system even consists of hydraulic disc brakes while a rollover sensor which deactivates power when it senses the bike has fallen adds additional safety and peace of mind . Furthermore , the seat height can be increased from the standard height of 470mm to 500mm by lowering the forks through the triple clamps and repositioning the shock absorber as the rider grows . As in the other EE models ,
Husqvarna has bestowed the EE 2 with adjustable power delivery through the Multi- Functional Display unit . Positioned in front of the seat , this allows parents to select one of three power modes beginning with a walking pace option , through to the least restrictive setting which allows for a top speed of 33km / h . Pricing for the EE 2 is yet to be announced by KTM New Zealand .
