Harley Electric Motorcycle

Confirmed a new Harley electric motorcycle

Well, it’s been a little over two years since Harley announced and debuted it’s Project Livewire electric motorcycle.

Bill Davidson the great grandson of William Davidson, the founder of Harley-Davidson  stated recently, that just like their gas powered motorcycles have a very unique sound, they’re working to make their electric motorcycle to have a unique sound that will be totally different than their competitors.

.DO NOT expect it to come to market.

53 Miles per charge? Some Harley riders have said the target market for this concept was probably the new age limp wrist metro-sexual male because this is nothing more but a castrated Harley… That’s a glorified Vespa. Who would’ve thought that the Harley of the future would sound like my girlfriends blow dryer? Read more »
