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

I predict bad things.

I don’t have any experience with riding a motorcycle, I did have a Honda dirt bike as a kid, the decision is similar to Coke coming out with “New Coke” back in the day.

The took a product that had been fabulously successful for decades and tried to improve it.

Harley-Davidson is doing the same thing, taking a highly successful product and trying to improve it based on being politically correct which will end in disaster I predict.

I hear the EV Harleys with an electric “zoom zoom” sound so the deaf grannies can hear you coming up behind them.

Kinda like the toy cars we had as a kids.
Don’t think the Hell’s Angels types will go big for this.

Yamaha made a copy of the Harley with the V-engine, but had separate journals on the crankshaft for each piston to produce a smoother power cycle. Bikers hated it. The “bug” (two pistons on the same journal) is the feature Harley riders want.
