That’s crazy. That putt-putt-putt-putter-putt sound is what Harley riders want.

CEO is a professional
A German leftist woke CEO with a knack for turning around companies
However he’s obviously completely unaware of what the Harley brand actualy means to it’s aficionados but

I don't ride a Harley but one of the ONLY redeeming things about a Harley IS THE POWERFULLY LOUD RUMBLE IT MAKES.
Who the hell is going to buy a QUIET Harley, snowflake TESLA OWNERS? They will have to have a SOUND GENERATOR in lieu of combustion exhaust output or else HARLEY-DAVIDSON UP A CREEK WITHOUT A PADDLE.
I'm guessing only about 5-10% of current HD owners would by an electric one, but perhaps HD plans to change it's target demographic to fat, single lesbian fembot lefty females.

Harley will cease to exist as a profitable company. Get your money out of their stocks now.

Why that is not considered noise pollution is beyond me
My understanding is that the excess HD noise was originally the result of poor engineering/build quality, but it became a signature of the brand, so in later, better-built models a slight misfire was designed-in to maintain it.

...I know a lot of Harley Riders and none I know would even consider an electric bike. Will they make a tricycle model?

“Harley-Davidson golf carts.”
Harley made golf carts in the 70s. I had a 2 stroke, 150cc, three wheel model. Once I removed the governor, it was quite fast. It was an AMF product with a Harley name plate.
I have owned 9 Harleys. I currently ride a 2007 FLHTCI (Electra-Glide Classic). If you are into comfort and don’t race on public roads, the Harleys are fabulous.
The whole idea that they will all be electric is ridiculous. The current crop made since the 80s will last at least 50 years if properly maintained. I sold my 1948 FLH in 2015 when I retired and moved to Florida. It will still be running in 2048.

This would be as phenomenally stupid as Smith and Wesson switching over to nothing but pepper spray and tasers.
