The HT3 and HT5 new models by Horwin for electric off road motorcycles will be available in 7 variants for on-off road use.
Horwin HT3 and HT5 new electric off road models, offer up to 105 km/h, 880 Nm torque and 150 km range. The Chinese manufacturer of electric 2-wheelers which operates through its European subsidiary based in Austria, Horwin has establish itself 3 years ago when presenting two neo-retro electric motorcycles inspired by café racers.
Horwin manufactures in China, and operates across Europe with headquarters in Austria. We previously covered the CR6 cafe racer, presented first at EICMA 2019, and offered across Horwin dealerships. Along side the street models, the company also presented their scooter model, the EK3.
The CR6 has since then been joined by a range of electric scooters and now the company is entering a new market segment: all-terrain 2 wheelers. With 3 variants of the HT5 and 4 variants of the HT3, Horwin will offer affordable and powerful models. The manufacturer has just lifted the veil on these two enduro motorcycles with the HT3 and the HT5.
The HT3 – pure off road.
Starting with the HT3, a model purely designed for off-road and therefore is not street legal. The HT3 is available in a sporty Cross version and in a Trail version similar to traditional trail bikes, both available in L and R variants with different performances.
