You know what the difference between a Hoover and a Harley? You can fit only one dirt bag on a Hoover.

That CEO didn't just decide one day "electric = good" All CEOs get gaslighted by Government to do what they want them to do and they comply, then they get tax breaks etc...

They don't have to gas light them. They are all masons following a plan.

Tell you what though: electric dirt bikes are fucking RAD.

Yeah, if you like a top speed of 20mph, and a 26 minute runtime before you recharge the battery for 12 hours.

Re: Corporate suicide watch: Harley-Davidson plans to go all-electric
I'm against all that is Woke but this is a company that's seeing the handwriting on the wall...they either pivot or they die. Their key demographic is dying and the younger generations aren't clamoring to run out and get a Harley. They need to find a way to get the younger generation interested in their product. Their sales in the recent years have been abysmal.

Re: Corporate suicide watch: Harley-Davidson plans to go all-electric
I can’t think of a worse example of a corporate CEO misreading his customer base than this via the Robb Report (Hat tip: Ed Driscoll, Instapundit)

“At some point in time, Harley Davidson will be all-electric,” the executive [Harley-Davidson CEO Jochen Zeitz] recently told Dezeen. “But that’s a long-term transition that needs to happen. It’s not something you do overnight.”

Zeitz’s pronouncement seems guaranteed to make a not-insignificant portion of the manufacturer’s customer base cringe. For many enthusiasts, the thing that really sets a Harley apart from other motorcycles—American-made or otherwise—is a thunderously loud internal combustion engine. But the company knows that no matter how important those large-displacement mills might be change is on the horizon.

Maybe by “long term” he means several generations from now. If not, this is a surefire recipe for disaster.

Less than 50%

Sound like they have finally found a way to fix their reliability problems.

They could have hardly made them worse as most ex-Harley owners will say.

Stupid heavy engine and gear-box combination makes them unride-able in many nations and even states who don't have dead straight road.


It will improve the bikes and their handling.

It will add value to their gasoline engine bikes because they will hopefully become rare.

No, not bonehead, all carefully planned.

Do you think that these executive really have a say in how their companies are run? No, that comes from a place far above their boardrooms.

See how literally EVERYTHING is changing at once? That is the handiwork of those in the shadows, not the supposed “heads” of corporations.

Re: Corporate suicide watch: Harley-Davidson plans to go all-electric
Any large bike manufacturer making this decision is gonna go bust fast...
That said, the days are numbered for them all imo. The world is heading towards all electric and at some point driverless and motorcycles will ultimately be banned sadly, just a matter of time....
I hate that thought btw...
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 57594442


It's impossible to go all electric.

It's impossible to go 50% electric.

The grid can't handle it. At 0.41% electric vehicles in California it is causing them to ration power.

The charging infrastructure isn't there.

The amount of cobalt and other rare earth minerals aren't available.

It's a pipe dream.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84885833


The move to ethanol was stupid enough, but it does replace a percentage of the gasoline you pump into your car with government money.

In 10 years there will be major transportation issues caused by this lunacy and we'll look at railroads. They're the only manufacturing sector that still have a full (more or less) domestic infrastructure.

The used gas powered vehicle market will make the current housing sitation look menial. As if Cash-For-Clunkers 15 years ago wasn't part of their plan.

I'm in Wyoming and the only way EVs will work here without a quantum level technology leap is if we provide power on the highway, like electric buses in European cities. And that ignores the grid problem...
