Chevy makes a lot of vehicles I can't stand the look of, but I still own and love my Tahoe. I don't care what they produce. The day they don't produce something I want to buy will be the day I won't buy something from them. I would never not consider a company solely based on everything they make.

That being said... I 100% agree that thing is ugly...

I really like it. I'd buy one if the price was right. I was looking at the Honda Ruckus for something small to run around locally = similar look but road worthy - if they put some lights on it.
Would like a lot more info on it.

I used to work for a company that produced high end products like mainframe computers, industrial controls, aircraft equipment, etc. They tried to get into low cost consumer type manufacturing, but couldn't do it competitively. They finally succeeded by spinning off some parts of the company, buying other small companies and licensing their name to existing producers. I wonder if HD has the same kind of strategy in mind. I just don't see it likely that they can produce an electric scooter or bike at a competitive cost. Maybe the plan is to develop these products, then license them out or spin off part of the company. One thing I think is pretty certain is that things like this scooter will not be produced in the US.

I guess they are still in the concept stage.

Depending on price, I could actually see these as being somewhat practical for urban commuters.

same looking electric bike that Juiced bikes made, freaking dumb, harley is really losing their mind. There are so many companies already in this market, the sales are in the slump, sales guys i know are hurting, service has slowed down, selling this bicycles aint going to help the company. Wow, i was debating unloading my street glide, think i might keep it as my last harley i bought ever,
