KTM and Bajaj Auto have been working together on a 48V electric two-wheeler platform for quite a while now. This platform is capable of producing between 4kW and 11kW of power (equivalent to about 5.36 to 14.75 horsepower). With a 4kW electric motor, Bajaj Chetak electric scooter makes use of a variant of this platform. Now, the Husqvarna E-Pilen will become the first electric motorcycle to utilise the same platform.
