On the fence about an electric bike, but looking forward to a gas powered television

You can find plenty of used examples at dealers. I've seen them anywhere between $21K and $30K. Still too expensive for what it can do, in my opinion. I want one, but not at that price.

Sure, why not? I would definitely ride one. My brother bought Tesla model X recently and I have to admit this car is really good. I have never thought that electric cars are so cool, I am thinking about buying for myself. By the way, who can help me to choose the best adapter https://evadept.com/best-j1772-for-tesla-adapters/? I don't know much about it so any tips would be appreciated.

If Harley priced their Electric bike around the price of a Zero, then yes.

I've ridden the LiveWire a few times and it's a bit of a rocket ship. Would I buy one? Not at the current price.

If they can put that performance level in a Pan America frame, with a real 200+ mile range and a charge time of one hour or less, then I would be all over it.

NO.. Harleys are V-Twin, gas powered, motorcycles. There is nothing about an electric motor in a motorcycle that's remotely appealing to make me want to spend a dime on one. Putting a Harley emblem on one is the equivalent of putting it on an electric appliance.

Electric bikes like electric cars miss the mark if you ask me. They take a great electric powerplant with gobs of torque, no gears, and place them in Funky looking chassis. The Harley Live Wire looks like something out of a Tron movie. Don't even get me started on the so called "Electric Mustang". The made a four door sedan that looks like a Subaru and dropped an electric motor in it and called it a "Mustang". No sir!

No take that same motor and put it in a true Mustang Body, and then maybe I would take it for a spin.

I could totally see a Electric Cruiser in the Harley lineup. Pan America, Fat Bob, Street Bob, Slim, Street Glide, etc. Great commuter bike you could charge at work and head home and not have to worry about range or recharging.

California signed a law to eliminate all gas powered vehicles by 2035! Good thing I will be dead by then!

NO, to me, they are not worth my time or the money.
