New ELECTRIC Harley Davidson---the Tesla of Motorcycles

Unread postby Plantagenet » Mon 07 Jul 2014, 19:28:42

Harley Davidson is bringing out an electric Harley Davidson Motorcycle.

Project LIVEWIRE---the new electric Harley Davidson Motorcycle

It really says something about the acceptance of electric vehicles, when Harley Davidson---the ultimate motor head loud ICE engine motorcycle----whose fame is based largely on the loud sound the big motorcycle makes-----is bringing out an EV motorcycle whose sound will be an electric whine.

This new electric Harley-Davidson has the potential to be the Tesla of motorcycles. People who missed the rocketship that Tesla stocks has turned out to be might considering investing in Harley Davidson now that they are bringing out the Tesla of motorcycles

The electric Harley will have to slightly modify that song...

Charge up your EV cycle
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Plug in the lithium batteries
Until the dial says fully charged

I love lithium batteries
Heavy metal electric
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Plug in the lithium batteries
Until the dial says fully charged

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild

------------------
And since the range of the EV Harley is only about 50 miles, that "head out on the highway" stuff isn't going to last very long.

But who cares----the only people who will buy this thing will be the same rich yuppies and bohos who buy Teslas. They will be the guys driving their electric Harleys to the wine bar. :idea:

I thought Harley's were only good for doing laps up and down the main street on a Saturday night in front of the girls. 50 miles is more than enough!!

Some of the petrolheads around here would most likely fit a 500w amp and woofer horn speaker to it and attach an exhaust synthesiser to the throttle to recreate the "big bike" noise. :badgrin:
