Very bold move for Harley.. maybe they would have been better off under a sub-brand, but there's the offset in brand credibility for the consumer.
I love it. Electric is the future.
I hope it comes to life. 50miles/80km is more than enough for a city slicker. Not enough for a weekend warrior, but the technology will catch up. Need sales from the early adopters to fund R&D!
Battery/Re-charging technology is still in the early stages.
