    I would buy one in a heart beat if it had a sound generator to replicate the trademarked Harley sound.

    Electric cars, trains, and other conveyances still need fossil fuels to generate the electricity to charge their batteries.

    I'd like to see a Harley powered by a micro thermonuclear fuel cell.

    That would be one "Bat out of Hell."

    Why not, they are already using mostly foreign parts to replicate the trademark Harley Davidson motorcycle.


    Yeah, I said that.

    As mentioned though, you can't beat the torque curve of electric. From a performance standpoint, they can be awesome.


    I could see a market for a decently powered electric bike for cheap commuting, but the initial cost and eventual battery replacement would most likely offset fuel savings until battery technology makes a couple more leaps.

    What's a man to do now? Gonna have to sit there at stoplights saying "potato potato potato potato potato" so it'll still sound like the engine is idling.

    [h=3]What customers want[/h] The LiveWire offers 74 horsepower, 52 foot-pounds of torque and a (governed) top speed of 92 mph. It’s more powerful and quicker off the line than the $13,000 Zero DS, but it’s got less torque and range. That said, it’s got more torque and power than Harley’s Iron 883.

    I have very quiet pipes on my Sportster 1200C but I still love the potato, potato, potato sound of that big twin! Sorry, the hum of the electric bike does nothing for me!
