The new EE 1.18 from Husqvarna Motorcycles is the next choice in the balance bike line-up. Sized to suit riders between the ages of 8 and 10, the EE 1.18 is complete with 18-inch wheels, hydraulic disc brakes front and rear, and a top speed of 18 mph. Capable of handling offroad terrain, the EE 1.18 is the perfect model for riders looking to develop their skills.
Features may include:
Access the action from the startWith a twistgrip throttle, the EE 1.18 allows riders to discover how to control power from a young age. Learning how to use a throttle correctly is a fundamental, and very valuable, skill that all riders will learn on the EE 1.18.
The removable lithium-ion battery has a user-friendly power-tool style interface for quick and easy changes. Fully charged spare batteries extend riding time if and when required with the EE 1.18 offering 30 to 45 minutes of riding time.
The EE 1.18 features three ride modes for easy progression. For riders new to two wheels, the training mode has a top speed of 9 mph with the standard mode set at 13.5 mph. For more experienced riders, or those who have developed their skills using the first two settings, the advanced mode allows for speeds of up to 18 mph.
Easy handling, more funWeighing just 31 lb including the battery, the EE 1.18 is lightweight with most of the weight positioned low on the frame. This ensures it is easy to handle and boosts a rider's confidence as they develop their riding skills. In addition, it allows them to pick up their balance bike should they need to. Additionally, due to its size, the EE 1.18 can easily be lifted into the back of the car and transported to a riding location, if needed.
With a low seat height, riders can confidently touch the ground when starting and stopping. This also allows them to easily dab with a foot while riding to maintain their balance and forward momentum, should they need to. The EE 1.18 is perfectly suited to 8 to 10 year old riders weighing up to 115 lb with an inside leg length of 22 to 23 inches. As riders grow in size, the seat height can be adjusted easily.
Due to its capability to travel up to 18 mph, front and rear hydraulic disc brakes are fitted to the EE 1.18. For an additional layer of safety, the rear disc is completely enclosed within a plastic guard.
