HD is out of their friggin minds! I prefer crotch rockets myself, but I know a lot of Harley Riders and none I know would even consider an electric bike. HD will be woke and broke.

To get similar performance from the “electric” motorcycle, the frame is going to have to include a hitch to attach the trailer for the additional batteries. There simply is not enough room in the base frame to include all the battery array necessary to equal the hydrocarbon-fueled performance of existing HD cycles.

And the weight factor. Plus the wait factor for recharge.

I know, there are electric bicycles. But that does not scale up. ALL of them are short-range.

Waiting for hydrogen fuel cells to be commonplace and competitive in price.

New version of Easy Rider will have the guys stranded when batteries go dead, walking for hours in the heat.

“How long we been out here, dude?”
“Who knows? I threw my watch away back there.”

Note: Peter Fonda was so happy to have his first screenplay accepted by the studio that he bought a Rolex to celebrate. Off and on in the movie due to shooting sequences he has the old watch, no watch and several times the Rolex.

They need a new CEO this guy is a nut job and probably doesn’t ride a motorcycle. Just guessing.

Kinda like when the CEO of Playboy, Hugh’s daughter, decided that Playboy wouldn’t use pictures of gorgeous nekkid ladies anymore. hahaha

BINGO. Value of ORIGINAL real HD’s is gonna skyrocket, when the two-wheeled rascal scooters that used to be “Hogs” are not purchased by the common sense folks. Same thing with electric vehicles, where indoctrinated yewts are the market; not REAL men.
