We have discussed a number of times about electric cars, but, this is probably the first time we came across an impressive electric bike and to top-it-all an electric Harley-Davidson! Yes...Harley-Davidson going green! Vogel, an inventor-entrepreneur and an Harley enthusiast has modified a Harley-Davidson chassis so that it houses 560 pounds of lead-acid batteries and an electric motor that can achieve 85 mph. The bike is less powerful than a stock Harley and can travel about 60 miles, at 55 mph, on a single charge. The electric bike can be plugged into an electrical wall outlet and recharged in three hours. Vogel plans to begin manufacturing the electric motorcycles in 2007 and will sell them for a price tag between $29,000 and $40,000.
