Husqvarna debuted the 'Husqvarna Legacy Edition (LE)' electric bike (e-bike) series. This series includes special redesigned versions of the Husqvarna Mountain Cross and the Husqvarna Hard Cross e-bikes.
The Mountain Cross LE has a 630 Wh, 36-volt battery that delivers a maximum speed of 32 mph. This is similar to the Hard Cross LE, as they both feature the same battery pack and motor. What primarily differs between these two bike models, though, is the geometry and drive. The Mountain Cross LE includes shocks and forks optimized for off-roading, while the Hard Cross LE is designed primarily for long trekking.
The most notable aspects of the Legacy Edition series over the regular line of e-bikes available at Husqvarna are the aesthetics. The LE series bikes feature a beautiful combination of vibrant blue and bright yellow to allow cyclists to express themselves in a bold style that goes beyond minimalist, subtle designs.
