I don't see that working well for HD. They tried to trademark their street burble, er, potato-potato sound for years. I just don't see a whining Harley Davidson as being good for their image. And electric motors whine, they don't burble. We have to come up with a better adjective than whine, come to think of it.

On edit: Electric motors whir, they don't whine.

Harleys are noisy, inefficient cruisers. Electric has better potential for commuter bikes.

It's the wrong brand. But, better that they're trying rather than being caught flat-flooted.

I'd rather have that go past the house at 3 in the morning rather than a set of straight pipes.

Folks behind me own 3 and go past the house on their way in and out. Doesn't bother me. They don't roll at 3 am though.

Nothing wrong with a quiet Harley. Nothing at all. This one resembles a Buell a bit more than a Soft Tail.

I used to have Pythons on mine and still coasted home, so I wouldn't wake anyone.

The jerks at 3 am around here ride superbikes, and are way more obnoxious than the scooter cruisers.

If you go to the bike and FAQ, you'll see an answer "in any city street" so that and the looks, it's a small cafe racer kind of style...This bike, like other e-bikes and really most EVs, it's for California where we can lane split...So at least it seems like the right market vs them EVings a big tourer...

They'll have to figure out how to make it noisy, vibrate and leak oil first...
