H-D says they will market an electric motorcycle in 18 months

<< < (2/2)

Richard230:
Leave it to H-D to buy into the new technology by sucking up an existing company.  (Something H-D has been doing since the early 1960's.)

Kind of reminds me of when Polaris invested in Brammo.   ::)  Hopefully Alta has a better business plan for electric motorcycles than either Brammo or Polaris did.  :O

Ultratoad:
With any luck, if Harley and Alta are successful....  It will force Polaris to dust off the Brammo stuff to develop a new line of Victory's (I mean Indians)....  The Harley Live Wire was the main reason Polaris bought Brammo in the first place....  Could get interesting....  I'm hopeful for the future of the Brammo tech and Alta....  Harley and Polaris, not so much....

jazz999:
On the face of it all, the Polaris deal seemed to be a good move only to turn out disappointing.  It was surprising that a multi-billion dollar company flopped on the Empulse so bad with terrible planning, zero marketing and limited support (parts and service).
