Regarding HD, I don't know enough about the e-bike to say anything educated but I'd "imagine" that they're not at the heart of its design.....but they do have the support possible to hire the best engineers, if they so choose, or work in concert with people who do know what they're doing.

Yes, that belt reminds me of a dryer drum belt. But considering it does not experience the shock that a clutch driven shifted bike, it could be made of a different material designed for the pure torque. There is a chain conversion for those who get really crazy off road. I wasn't able to get the front wheel off the ground, no clutch to dump and I wasn't about to stand and jump on the pegs, lol. I think BMW could get away with an electric big scooter, they have the following. The Harley contingent probably will not welcome it. |

No truer words spoken. We all see what happened to the V-Rod and it's a really nice bike. You should have heard the rash I took switching to a Vic! LOL!....then I'd pass them.
