Harley-Davidson will go All Electric, says CEO

"It’s possible Harley-Davidson is fully aware that its core customers have little interest in buying EVs. If that’s the case, then the move to compartmentalize, or “quarantine,” its EV efforts seems downright shrewd: it lets Harley keep selling pricy large-displacement hogs and baggers to the H-D faithful as it fills up its war chest. After all, moving to a fully-electric lineup is not going to be cheap.

Maybe that’s why Harley isn’t committing to a hard and fast timeline just yet. Still, it’s ironic that the bikes dragging old Harley down in the eyes of generations of newer riders are going to pave the way for a new Harley."

Makes no never mind to me…By the time that happens i won’t around or even if I am around I won’t be in the motorcycle market…Harley is a For Profit Company and they will do what they have to do $$$..

It will cost 10s of millions of dollars to pull this off

I wonder who will finance this?

More insider information…..My Sisters Brothers Son works in the Harley Davidson advertising and sales division in Spill Rock California .. And she said that he said that the electric bikes won’t be sold though any Harley Davidson Dealerships instead you will have to order them direct from a Williams Sonoma catalog…..You heard it here first…..

Makes me happy that I own an adult tricycle. I don't have to wait for the thing to charge up before I can use it, but I have to fuel myself before peddling away. This is how great an electric vehicle is to own, 5 days for a full charge: https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2023...ic-vehicle-takes-five-days-to-charge-at-home/

I'll believe it when I see it. Even if it happens, I won't be around.
