Glad that it looks like they'll stick around. Any idea on who their clients are?

Hmmm, Last years bike had 7 modules, which are now condensed down to 2 large modules that go on the motorcycle now... Looks like the modules from the latest iteration of the RR to me. So when the hell is Polaris gonna sell this thing? I thought they had planned on bringing something to dealerships by this summer.

Isn't working with the "big guys" what sunk Mission Motors boat?  I seem to recall an article that said that the "big guys" don't really want to work with "little guy" consultants.  (H-D perhaps being an exception but that relationship with MM didn't seem to last very long.)   ???

It will be interesting to see how Brammo consulting fares in the future.  I would think they would have better luck with start-ups than large firms pushing their EV tech wares. Most of the big firms (BMW comes to mind) really want to develop electric propulsion in-house from what I can see.
current bikes: 2018 16.6 kWh Zero S, 2011 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Classic, 2009 BMW F650GS, 2007 BMW R1200R, 2005 Triumph T-100 Bonneville, 2002 Yamaha FZ1 and a 1978 Honda Kick 'N Go Senior.

With a bit of imagination I see the Victory logo on the new battery brackets.
Let's hope that we get to see the actual bikes soon.
EICMA perhaps?
Or US introduction first...
Once you go EV, gas is history!
