The electric motorcycle that Harley-Davidson announced back in 2014 is finally hitting the market this year.

Since 2014, Harley-Davidson has been working on developing its first electric motorcycle; at the Consumer Electronics Show on Monday, the company announced that the 2020 LiveWire model is finally available for pre-order before its official August launch.

Well Harley-Davidson has gone Green and will start selling a Electric Powered Motorcycle.

It will go a whopping 110 miles on a full charge and sell for approximately $30,000. Who is in for one?

I personally think they are making a huge mistake going this route. 110 Miles on a charge is not very far compared to the gasoline engine that will give you several hundred miles on a tank.

For that kind of money it's just too expensive and I predict a flop. Any comments?????????????

I would encourage any hipsters who buy this thing to make a beeline for the nearest biker bar, and once there make sure to explain all the wonders of their new “green” Harley to the other customers. Don’t worry hipsters, it’s a Harley, so they’ll welcome you with open arms....trust me.

Love to be a fly on the wall if that ever happens.

I own an Indian 2010 Scout and never failed on me, and a Triumph Cruiser, which my dad handed to me. At least I know my Indian wont go sissy fag on me by going thru this “green” bullsh*t..

I don’t remember getting several hundred miles per tank on my Dyna...anyway, I see nothing wrong with it other than the price point. $30k is a ton of money for an electric scooter.

My Suzuki S40 has a small tank and gets about 120 before reserve. It also takes me 5 minutes to fill it.

Unlike cagers, we riders like to know there is an engine underneath us.

For $30K I could put several more very nice bikes in my garage. Except my wife won’t let me park her car outside to make room for them LOL.
