Collaboration Electric Mountain Bikes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Husqvarna Mountain Cross MC6 Has a Shimano EP8 Motor

— September 15, 2022 — Eco
The Husqvarna Mountain Cross MC6 mountain bike is a new e-mobility solution created in collaboration with KISKA Munich to offer riders access to intuitive power and performance. The bike maintains a lowered and centered riding position, and has a higher front wheelbase that's adapted for a more agile and intuitive experience. The weight is focused more on the front wheel to support climbing control and grip when traversing mountainous landscapes.

The Husqvarna Mountain Cross MC6 mountain bike features a Shimano EP8 motor and battery, which features vents for passive cooling. A hinged battery cover allows for easy charging and also removal of the pack. The bike will call to mind the classic design of the Husqvarna Motorcycles VITPILEN and is ready to withstand the rigors of everyday off-road riding.
Trend Themes
1. Collaborative E-mobility Solutions - Businesses can explore collaborating with design firms to create innovative e-mobility solutions that offer riders intuitive power and performance.
2. Front-weighted E-bikes - Designers and manufacturers can consider creating e-bikes with front-weighted designs that support climbing control and grip in mountainous terrains.
3. Passive Cooling E-bike Motors - Opportunities exist in developing e-bikes with passive cooling motors, like the Shimano EP8 motor used in the Husqvarna Mountain Cross MC6 bike, to improve performance and sustain the rigors of everyday off-road riding.
Industry Implications

2. Outdoor Sporting Goods - Companies who specialize in outdoor sporting goods can consider integrating front-weighted e-bikes, with passive cooling motors into their product portfolios to meet the needs of riders looking for an agile and intuitive mountain biking experience.
3. Automotive and Transportation - The emerging trend of front-weighted e-mobility solutions with passive cooling motors presents opportunities for automotive and transportation companies to explore collaborations with e-bike manufacturers and design firms to create sustainable and innovative solutions for transportation and leisure activities.
