Default Harley-Davidson is making electric balance bikes for 3-year-olds

The target group is 3 to 7-year-olds with two versions...a small one for 650 and a slightly bigger one for 700 hundred.

This little tyke sure looks like he is having fun.

Not a bad marketing idea. My first dirt bike was a Honda so the first 30 years of my life that's all I would own.

Year 2040: fat 20-somethings invade the streets on HD electric motorcycles.

Kids will never pedal again.

The idea of these scotters is too help them learn the balance and eventually go to pedal bikes. I was the kid pushed by dad until I got it or crashed multiple times.
Plus, they are going to be fat 20 something whether they pedal a bike or not.

I heard they were trying to get younger riders. I guess I didn't realize HOW young...

These bikes are also on Harley's website under "Bikes".

Shouldn't that kid be pedaling?

Teach them to be lazy young unlike these kids.
