Now it appears that the speculation has been confirmed as Harley Davidson announced today multiple new electric motorcycle platforms that are in development over the next few years.

According to Harley Davidson’s Chief Operating Officer Michelle Kumbier:

“We’re going big in EV with a family of products that will range in size, power, as well as price. When you look at EV you know this is a whole new customer base that we are bringing in.”

In addition to Harley Davidson’s 2019 halo model, the LiveWire, two smaller and more affordable electric motorcycles are slated for 2021 and 2022.

Kumbier described these models as “more middleweight, if you will” and designed for “accessible power”.



Harley Davidson also plans to cover the lightweight electric motorcycle market as well, offering three different EVs designed to cater to the same market currently dominated by electric scooters, mopeds and higher end electric bicycles.

These three vehicles include a utility scooter, something that looks more or less like a dirt bike, and perhaps most surprisingly for the bar-and-shield motorcycle company, an electric-assist bicycle.
