Once, it heads to production, it will disrupt the electric two-wheeler market. It will also make its way to India. On our shores, the vehicle will take on rivals such as Bajaj Chetak and Ola S1.
Design

The Husqvarna Vektorr will draw styling cues from the Bajaj Chetak, featuring a slim indicator-mounted front apron, a flat footboard, a single-piece seat with a pillion grab rail, and a round headlight.
The scooter should pack a digital instrument cluster with support for turn-by-turn navigation, a full-LED setup for lighting, and ride on designer blacked-out alloy wheels.
Its kerb weight will be disclosed later.

In terms of safety equipment, the Husqvarna Vektorr will be equipped with a disc brake on the front wheel and a drum brake on the rear wheel. A combined braking system for better handling should also be available.
