Is Harley Davidson making electric bikes?
Bikes are actually very fuel efficient and Harleys used to be especially good in that area.
On the other had, I cannot imagine Harley carrying that huge load of batteries. And what about the Harley noise?
Is anybody ever going to ride such a bike?

Harley's issues go beyond the debacle of the EV Livewire. The HD brand was popularized w/the 60s counterculture movies that presented the outlaw antitype as cool.

That continued to, and through, the tv show "Sons of Anarchy." Now, baby boomers (the aforementioned target demographic) are getting too old to ride and Harley's high priced product just isn't selling well.

And HD bikes are to heavy and slow to appeal to the majority of younger riders.
