Title: Tough times at Polaris
Post by: Richard230 on November 06, 2016, 06:21:09 PM

It looks like Polaris is getting hammered financially due to a vehicle recall.  This could have an impact on their ability to move forward with updating their electric motorcycle platform.  ???

Well, that is not good news.  :( But unfortunately, I am not surprised after reading that article.

An article stating that Polaris was having financial problems.  When big companies loose money, new projects that are not generating money get put on hold and people tend to get laid off until profits go back up.   :(

I have no idea where Jazz999 obtained his information.   ???  Perhaps he can enlighten us.

Sorry I think I was misunderstood.  To clarify, Polaris shut down their Electric Bicycle division last month.  Sorry for the confusion.
