Harley-Davidson’s concept electric scooter is for city dwellers

Harley-Davidson has declared that the future is electric — and it’s quickly scaling up a pipeline of electric bikes.

Two new concepts unveiled last week at the X Games in Colorado wouldn’t require a motorcycle license and could be charged with a normal wall plug, the company says.

Courting new riders, including city dwellers and millennials, is key to the company’s turnaround plans.

Harley said in its investor presentation outlining its “More Roads to Harley-Davidson” program that electric motorcycles aren’t expected to achieve cost parity with internal-combustion-engine motorcycles until 2030 at the earliest.
