Good news, bad news day for H-D.

 

Good news

 

I'd hit it for 13K new or less IF it would go 180 miles between charges no matter how I rode it AND only took 30 minutes to get back to full charge in 30 minutes on 110V current.

I'm not here to save the planet, I'm here to have fun.

 

I betcha it will be darn close to 20k, won't have nearly the range you'd like, and will be a total hoot to ride!

 

Bad news for KC. Goodbye 800 jobs...

 

Something for the Prius snow flakes to ride.

 

Loved the video. Would most definitely be interested to test ride one if they make it to market.

 

It will probably appeal to those "world ecology conscious" millennials, so as long as they don't OVER price it, this might be a "good thing", for the MoCo. I'll reserve judgement until it actually comes out, and we see what the price is like and how well it sells.

 

I thought it sounded like this...

 

It would never appeal to me, just as an electric car would never appeal to me. I'm not an engineer by any means, but what I don't understand really is how this "saves" the planet. Doesn't it use more fossil (Tesla Battery Production) fuel to actually make batteries. Then what about when the batteries are end of life. Sure you can recycle them (What's the cost of that), but what about replacement costs or resale when the battery is 90% used (end of life) and now you want to dump your vehicle. Electric vehicles I suppose have their place, just like everything else. I'd just never own one.
