Any news?
benswing:
The last things I heard about Harley was that they plan to produce an electric motorcycle by 2020. The LiveWire project ended with their European tour last year bringing the 40 demo bikes for test rides.
They also mentioned something about waiting for more energy-dense batteries, and possibly solid state batteries. Basically, there is no new word for the past year or two.

California is way more than 1/50 of the USA on any scale that matters.

Judging from the search results on Harley's site, and the former Livewire page on Harley's site, I'd say it looks dead in the water for now.

Sounds about right to me. ;) I hear that H-D sales are down and finances are tight, so it is unlikely they are going to attempt to go electric for some time, unless forced to do so by government regulators. And I don't see that happening any time soon for electric motorcycles. Governments are addressing cars, trucks, buses, trains, planes and just about everything else but motorcycles (which everyone seems to agree are too noisy and pollute too much :o ), when it comes to "pollution-free" travel. But electric motorcycles just don't appear to be on their radar for now. ???
