I had a chance to talk with the company’s CEO Jay Giraud. In that conversation, he mentioned that Damon Motorcycles has considered working with other companies—like Honda, Kawasaki, and Yamaha—and allowing those companies to use Damon’s proprietary technology.

Here Comes the Electric Motorcycle Future

If you thought the future was going to be full of gasoline engines, you were wrong.

A news roundup of electric motorcycles.

Harley-Davidson’s LiveWire Electric Motorcycle Sounds Weird

The Harley LiveWire whirrs instead of rumbles and it’s kind of awesome.

For the record, I’ve always believed Harley’s path back to prominence wasn’t going to be through electric bikes. I don’t think the LiveWire will save the company.

I do, however, find something alluring about how freaking weird the electric motorcycle sounds in the video above.
