They look like cool bikes. I was just entertained that a brand built on thunder and marketing is shipping ebikes for kids called IronE.

Who knows what goes thru the minds of those in marketing.
The battery for the IRONe is identical to a Milwaukee power tool battery. Maybe Harley should have gone in that direction with the Livewire?
The kids are mini celebs in uptown Waterloo. Racing each other in the big open mall areas.

Seeing those kids ride behind dad was too cute lol.

Side note - I wonder why Harley didnt want to compete with Indian's latest Power plus engine..unless they plan on releasing a bigger variant again, next year...?

Revolution Max engine

www.harley-davidson.com

The 975cc engine found in the Bronx produces more than 115 horsepower and over 70ft/lb of torque, while the larger 1250cc engine of the Pan America produces more than 145 horsepower and over 90ft/lb of torque.

Packaging when increasing cc's can't be ALL that different - or can it?
Maybe a little re-enforcement for the frame, suspension and cooling - then call it day?

If only Harley made bowling balls.

No, wait! Wonder if it's an AMF.

You'd be the CoTW @ J&L's bowling night

And let's not forget the Italians.

They started selling bicycles with motors and now they've returned to their core competency, bicycles with motors.
... they had to call it the iron-e because it would be a lie to call it the titanium-e
and because it spells irony.

If H-D really want to make a change that would amount to something,
it's a radial engine with plenty of room for more cylinders.
