What works

  • The Husqvarna-badged version of the KTM-group electric 50cc-class MX bike: 5 kW peak, water-cooled, six power modes, 40.5 kg
  • WP suspension (205/193 mm), 160 mm hydraulic discs, and Husqvarna's dealer network for parts and service
  • Three-stage lowerable seat - 26.1 in standard, 24.2 in lowered, 21.6 in with the accessory kit - fits smaller riders than most rivals

Trade-offs

  • At $5,849 plus $425 freight it is the most expensive of three identical siblings (KTM $5,799 / GasGas $5,449)
  • You are paying for Husqvarna styling: mechanically the same bike as the SX-E 5 and MC-E 5
  • No published top speed or range, no display or app, and off-road only

What works

  • 8 kW peak and 40 mph in an 86 lb chassis - genuinely quick for a small-wheel bike
  • SAWC anti-wheelie control, three ride modes plus reverse, and regen, all new for 2026
  • Sur-Ron's dealer network and parts pipeline behind a youth-sized machine

Trade-offs

  • Official carrying capacity is only 121 lb - most adults exceed it
  • 58V/22Ah pack is small; 35 mi is a 25 mph steady-state claim, not trail range
  • Previous-generation 5 kW bikes are still sold under the same name - confirm 8 kW before buying
