I saw this too. People here have talked about a larger-framed motorcycle with room for a really big battery for touring. Maybe this is it.

Here is another article regarding Confederate/Curtiss and the possibility that they might go all-electric.  If they do, that would be quite a change for that small company and it will be interesting to see if their customers buy into the concept.  ???

I find it interesting that when I posted this news on a BMW forum that gets a lot of English-speaking international traffic, all of the responses were about the change in Confederate's name and not a peep about the company going all-electric.  Everyone was talking about the Civil War and knocking down old statues and were not even thinking about the company's venture into propulsion future.   ???
