topazsparrow Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I think it looks pretty cool, particlarly for a harley... and an electric bike nonetheless! I wonder what it is about electric vehicles that every manufcaturer except tesla decides "Hey, lets make this stuff looks as goofy and different as humanly possible". Zero bikes are pretty normal looking too I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator sorkyah Posted November 7, 2018 Global Moderator Share Posted November 7, 2018 is it just me or does the seat look like just an afterthought? like, OH shet, we built the bike and forgot the seat..... ummmm here, a dyna seat will fit... slap that on there ATGATT...

robbo10 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Looks good to me. It will be fun, if you can afford one..... Just do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MT27 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Looks aside, I would like to ride it. It's way better looking than that adventure bike harley showed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayMT07 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I don't mind the looks at all but that high pitch sound I've heard from YouTube vids bothers me. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=F0cKYaV-8dw Instagram: @jayparrington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 It would look better with a fake, shorty pipe. Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I test rode a Zero a couple of times. I like the "no sound" of an electric bike. Its a slight "whirring" noise, really. Noisemakers are just a crazy idea. What purpose would they serve? It would be a short fad, and then others would start making fun of it. Like those fart can mufflers little kids put on their Honda's.

Cruizin Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 If I get an electric bike, I will install an amp, a speaker and blast loud fart sounds at various RPMS. Beer farts, morning farts, diarrhea farts. I'll just be fartin on down the road.

liqwiq Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 If I remember correctly I read somewhere that Harley will use straight cut gears in electric bikes to make more mechanical noise. How "Harley" of them to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
