Harley will probably fail with an EV. If Honda bring out an electric version of the Vision or the PCX, they'll sell boatloads of them. Electric scooters are near-ubiquitous in South-East Asia, particularly China. 30-50 miles of range is plenty for a little urban runabout. You don't need a lot of power to replace a 50cc or 125cc engine, so the battery is small enough to carry up to your apartment and it can charge reasonably quickly from a normal 13A outlet. Electric scooters are often replacing absolutely filthy two-stroke scooters, so they have a disproportionately positive impact on local air quality. Electric scooters have the potential to be the new Honda Cub - simple, economical transport for the masses.
