Why, white tires?

Probably want fenders so they don’t sling mud up your back and front.

I thought H-D was in the woke crowd, they’ll be passing them out in three mostly peaceful protests.

How many USB ports does it have?

[Fungi]

No thank you. I’ve done over 25,000 miles on a bike over the entire continent, I do not need an electric powered bike. My legs work fine. But if you want one, go right ahead.

Greg Lemond makes an E-bike for 1/2 that.

I think I will stick with my antique yamahas

I think one of those was in Garner’s Nichols show.

Pete Butt gig will get one so he can say “I ride a Harley”

[TexasGator]

“Because it is. The price tag insures it.”

What is the price?

[Zuriel]

White tires? Do you only ride it indoors?

[hoagy62]

Sorry, but unless it SOUNDS like a Harley, it aint a Harley.

[Zuriel]

Tires made in china.

Where’s the playing cards clamped to the spokes with clothes’ pins?

Seems like the same thing when congress certified Obama and America accepted the V-Twin at the time.

Look where we are now?

[ctdonath2]

Ok, that’s funny. Ya got me.
Now where’s a picture of the actual electric Harley?

I don't get all the negative vibes, man. It's an electric BICYCLE that's not trying to be an Electra Glide or Sportster or anything close.
It's a hat tip to the first Harley Davidson ever built in 1903, which was a BICYCLE with a motor attached and rolled on white tires which are the color of natural rubber and used on early automobiles also.
Anyone with even a molecule of transportation history knowledge in their skull should know these things.
I dig the bike.

Yes— stunning, as in-— horrific! Mr. Soul on that album, in the 80’s as a rave synthro track— cannot touch the original Buffalo Springfield.

But, get where you may be coming from. The kind of people who may buy this will be eating a lot of soy, cause they could not electro start a fat boy.

Harley-Davidson has gone woke.
