Title: Harley has "Upped" their game
Post by: JaimeC on March 06, 2019, 01:36:26 AM

At least they have according to this article in Asphalt & Rubber:

The author's past articles has displayed a DEFINITE blas against Zero and there is even a "snarky" toned article about "Fuell" so take it all with a grain of salt.

I'm happy to see the improved figures. I spoke to the dealer today and he told me the new numbers. Each dealer has to have an e-bike "guru". They have frequent conference calls and webinars to educate them on products and technology. He mentioned the 140 mile range and the 1.9 second 60-80 MPH roll on, as well as the 3.0 second 0-60 figure. I told him to relay the message that they really missed the boat on the level 2 charging figures. Where I live, the public chargers are almost all level 2. I expect that by the time the final product is released, there will be a few more improvements to the specs.

"Recharge time of 0-80%  in 40 minutes"?

Energica CCS time is 20 minutes (at 20kW). What are they charging on CCS, 10kW?

Good for them and for us consumers. Healthy competition forces businesses to improve and treat customers right.

This, and another thread, was necrobumped by what I assume is a bot account. But good catch on that time to charge, Rick.
