Arlen Ness Electric Cruiser
« on: August 30, 2015, 08:39:21 AM »
A friend of mine visited the Arlen Ness store yesterday and sent me a photo of an electric cruiser motorcycle that he built and was on display in his shop.  Not too stylish to my eye, but at least he gave it a try. Hopefully Arlen will continue to work on integrating electric propulsion into the custom cruiser format.  Photo attached.

Fugly  box... NOT integrated into the design. But, as you say, at least he tried. Maybe Victory will pull it off.

That looks like an air-cooled v-twin sticking out of the battery box ?!

It does at that.  :-\  But my friend, who saw the thing up-close, assured me that it appeared to be electrically driven and seemed to be using auto batteries.   ???
