Juice up the outdoors with Harley-Davidson's electric bike concepts
While they haven't been earmarked for production, it'd be a smart way to improve H-D's reach.
Following in the vein of the LiveWire electric motorcycle that's set to hit the market in the near future, Harley-Davidson showed off two electric bike concepts at the X Games in Austin this week.
The first concept is an electric mountain bike.
There are some clever nods to more traditional Harley-Davidson styling on the body, but there's no mistaking this for what it is.
The other is an urban scooter or pit bike of sorts, small enough to sneak around in tight places.
The ring up front hides the LED headlight, and the drop-down mirror on the side is a nice aesthetic touch.
While Harley-Davidson didn't give out any specifications for its bikes or batteries, it did say the battery itself is designed to be removable and hand-carried inside, where it can be charged using a special dock and any ol' wall outlet that's available.
H-D is using these concepts to bring more attention to its future portfolio of electrified models.
