Harley-Davidson will take its electric motorcycle division public through a blank-check company, valuing the enterprise that has been part of the Harley for 10 years at $1.77 billion.
Under the agreement, the special purpose acquisition company AEA-Bridges Impact Corp. will buy Harley-Davidson’s LiveWire and make it the first publicly traded electric motorcycle company in the U.S. next year.
LiveWire has been part of the Milwaukee motorcycle maker for 10 years and became a separate unit in 2019.
Based on that, it sure sounds like Harley is going all-in on advancing their strategy for electric bikes.
Adapting for the times. I get it.
I've never owned a motorcycle. And do not have any plans to buy one in the next 5-10 years.
If I do, I want me a gas engine that purrs at stoplights and can roar like a beast when the light turns green.
Not some pansy electric engine that sounds like a cheap scooter.
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
Matt
