I have 2 old shovelheads..... I think an electric Harley is sacrilege.... although I have occasionally thought it
would be quite easy to build a properly big AF motor and put it in place of the V-twin, with a belt drive to the transmission...

Yes looks really refined. It has some really nice lines. They have put a lot of effort into its appearance.Lebowski said:

It makes sense, just like big trucks getting the electric treatment because they're all heavy pigs that have lots of room for batteries. Many Hardly owners I know never ride more than a few miles at a time, so there's your built-in market.

I like it. Just a shame that if it ever lands in Australia it will be $40,000+!

Good for Harley, good for us!
The skeptic in me wonders if there's some EPA incentive for them to do this?
I also find it hard to believe they would do this all "in-house" - 'wonder if Zero or any of the "other guys" contributed to this?

From the posts on the hd website ones with pics all you see are EV grins this will really push the EV to even more mainstream and if hd keeps up and does a full run it will sell

B-B-But... without that 'potato-potato-potato'-sound, what are they going to trademark? 
I hope they sell a bunch of them

they even are calling for EV engineers to join them, at the bottom of their FAQ
someone should point them to ES

The articles I've read says they used Brammo engineers for the electrics.

Sweet!
FINALLY!
I would think this will be SUPER GOOD for the EV movement, specially the bike side of things.
If Harley understands the need for quiet, fast, greener bikes; the ripple effect will spread much quicker and easier through the biker crowd.

That's Scarlett Johansson's stunt double. The bike will be used in the next Avengers movie.
