Don’t know how I got on your video. But that was absolutely hilarious. Started on bikes again e-bikes are the best but u have to have enduro tires. Continental have really worked well.

[@CrushedEMTB]

Yeah, enduro bikes are king!

I’ve been ripping my Husqvarna MC/LE for 2 1/2 years and it’s held up wonderfully and the warranty issue when the battery came loose was handled really quickly at the local dealer no issues.

[@CrushedEMTB]

Good to know, thanks.

I bought the HC5 late July 2024 and As of mid Oct have almost 800 km with very few issues. The build components are different than shown with Shimano XTR drivetrain and XT brakes, DT Swiss 350 hybrid hubs and 1700 wheelset. Tires front and rwar are Pirrelli Scorpion Enduro R and have no issues with them. Peddle strikes are common, but have not caused issues yet. Initially the battery rattled but an adjustment on the locking mechanism looked after that and has been fine since. I replaced the 150 mm dropper with a 200 mm unit which is a better size for me. I’ve had no issues with bolts coming loose, or any warranty requirements. EP801 drive unit is magic, and I get a decent range between charges. I will be installing a 32 tooth chainring for next riding season as the 36 is too large and will allow more use of the 12 spd gearing and should improve range of the battery as well. All in all for the price, I couldn’t ask for a better bike. Compare this build with any of the other big name brands and expect to pay another $3,000.

Great video, with some good crashes! Just bought a new controller for my ep801/ Santa Cruz bullit after seeing how easy they can break.

I had a hc5 2024 same bike really. Cracked the rear triangle within a month. Husqy warranty came through. Also had the bike shut down and had no power. The battery mount was no good so they sent a new one of those out. The battery latch though was terrible, always coming loose and rattling none stop. When it was not rattling though was an amazing bike to ride.

I've seen two different Huskies battery covers fly off during rides.

[@CrushedEMTB]

Tell them to tighten the Allen screw a half a turn. It will never come off.
