It’s not a terrible idea to do an electric Harley. Why not? But with a modest range and priced at 30k, this is a luxury toy for a very limited market. Hard to imagine it moving the needle much for H-D’s overall sales.

It is terrible mistake. Harley buyers make fun of idiots that drive electric vehicles. And rightly so.

I see the staff of Monkey Wards all found new jobs.

A friend rode one recently and said it screamed (acceleration-wise) and that it was hard to hold on to (and he’s a big, beefy guy).

Your house would require an electricity upgrade for charging. 110 or 220 volts is too small.

Your house needs 2000 to 4000 volts for adequate motorbike recharging.

The downside is your children risk electrocution.

For comparison, a death row, electric chair uses 2000 volts. Good luck kiddies. All for being green. Lol.
