Post by: Richard230 on December 11, 2016, 05:48:09 AM

Cleanrider.com has posted a 2017 Worldwide electric motorcycle guide, which might be of interest.  It includes a chart listing specifications and prices for each model. Don't forget your magnifying glass to read the charts:  http://cleanrider.com/2017-electric-motorcycle-catalog/ (http://cleanrider.com/2017-electric-motorcycle-catalog/)

They didn't give Bell Custom Cycles any love. Guess they didn't realize they make big electric cruisers that look like something from H-D.

Richard230,

They are in Nevada so how about going to check one out and get back to us!

Would love to see a test ride report on one of these. Just not willing to travel across the country to check one out. I think that BCC is a bit like Lightening, if you order one they will build it for you but don't expect to ever see one at a dealership.
