Maybe they are going after the “Karen” market.

At some unspecified point in the future. Maybe just buying time.

You cant make an electric bike look, ride, sound, feel or pound the earth beneath you like a Harley.
I predict bad things.

Would;d be great to see what the Harley Dealers think of this lunacy
To: MtnClimber
My guess would be they are already in big financial trouble, and the ESG financial types are saying all electric plan or sudden death.

The CEO is a German environmentalist who worked for Puma. With the magic of interlocking corporate board seats, he landed a seat on the Harley Board of Directors, and here we are.
A kraut green track suit and shoe executive... Running HD. Enjoy the woke company image bikers.

Why not make them all pink, too.
To: SaxxonWoods
So they are lying, promising to work hard against their core market demographic, to appease the environmental crowd.
Nice to know their corporate ethics... zero backbone.

Pure Electrics Wonβt Work for Most Motorcycle Enthusiasts, Who May Have a Hybrid Future
This article is more about sport bikes and people are often more willing to accept changes in this segment—it’s all about cutting-edge technology. A hybrid gives you locomotive-like torque down low.
The upcoming hybrid Corvette is an example. It’s being done for performance reasons less than fuel economy.
The cruiser segment is not so flexible. Many of the designs have been around decades and it’s not just Harley. If they built sport bikes I’d say hybrids might work. But all electric for a company whose strength is in cruisers, well, no.

So a German, has come up with a final solution. That rings a bell....
