Husqvarna Motorcycles enters electric mobility with the E-Pilen Electric Motorcycle Concept

Husqvarna Motorcycles is entering electric mobility with the E-Pilen Electric Motorcycle Concept that was showcased earlier this past spring :

and the latest news is that they are partnering with the swappable electric battery consortium that i have been mentioning in many other past threads :

it cannot be understated that since the battery is a significant cost of the total e-bike that not only reducing costs thru standardization, but also reducing maintainability and sustainability of the e-bike in the near future for newer technologies as well as general maintenance.


Since battery technology is the future for all or any electric / electronic technology performance of the future, its critical that the design of any electric device start here with a modular and maintainable envelope. The fact that cell phones have NOT caught onto this is totally and completely absurd !!


Moreover, considering that the number 1 complaint of any battery based device IS THE BATTERY LIFE , leaves me dumb-founded WHY these companies with millions of dollars spent on engineering can't seem to figure this simple fact out ?!?


Moving forward for those of you wanting to get involved with electric vehicles, i recommend that you start researching how batteries perform over time as well as the safety aspects to design packaging and envelopes that support the best environment and long term maintainability issues, least this engineering monster later bite you in the ass.
