Now they’re coming for our motorcycles…
Anyone walked on a downtown sidewalk lately?
The electric motorcycles are already here.
Most of them are driving on the sidewalk!
I was commuting 80 miles a day...I looked into E-bikes. The BEST e-bike that was capable of this task cost as much as a new Goldwing ($25K), and would have to be fully recharged every night. Whereas the Goldwing would only need to be refueled every 3-4 days. And of course the Goldwing had all sorts of extra features to make the commute comfortable. The e-bike had zero storage and was pretty much stripped down. No way I wouldn’t go for the Goldwing instead, no matter the gubmint incentives.
And BTW...anything the government has to subsidize is NOT commercially competitive by definition.
Ready for the next Dumb and Dumber sequel someday. Electric.
As mentioned in the movie “Our hog is outside.”
Electric bike would be OK around town, but they’re too expensive, too heavy and don’t have enough range. The advantage would be low maintenance a not sitting over a hot engine in summer.
All the online motorcycle sites endlessly hawk these piles of crap. Range really sucks. You simply can’t fit large enough batteries on a motorcycle.
Zero Motorcycles sells an e-dirt bike. The battery lasts about an hour of hard riding. A spare battery costs thousands. For a day of riding you need two batteries and a generator to charge one while you use the other. Don’t criticize it though. You’ll get banned.
How about this for a novel idea? . . . Let people form companies to manufacture vehicles of all sorts - solar powered, gasoline or diesel powered, wind powered, electric powered, three-wheeled, two-wheeled, unicycles, four-six wheeled.
Then market them and let drivers and riders and wives decide what to buy based on need, desire, and costs. voile! Taxpayers can stay completely out of it.
I have a MC that gets 65+ miles per gallon. I have zero need for some battery powered MC with high output Maytag motor...
Oh, why stop there? Just buy and send an electric motorcycle to every household.
How to get Harley Davidson to be woke in everything they do...101.
MWF 10:00am - 11:30am.

How about electric bikes?
Speaking of Motorcycles, since 1957 Harley made the Sportster...and continued to make the classic Sportster line until this year. What they replaced the Sportster with looks like s**t and ironically, I think they call it the S line.
If I were strictly an investor, I’d buy 2 or 3 of the classic Sportsters for investments, as I would bet in not too many years from now, they’ll be worth a whole lot more because they aint coming back.
Harley’s competitors must be salivating in anticipation of their new market share.
I thought there was still a motorcycle ping list.

Lol. A silent HarleyDavidson. Do playing cards come with it?
Yep. Since we’ve gone full retard already, may as well add motorcycles to the retard list.
