Harley Davidson tried to be progressive and be the first large manufacturer to make an electric motorcycle. No one bought them. Who buys a Harley not to make obnoxious noise?
Harley charged Harley prices (15-25k) for bikes that should have cost 5k. Thats why no one bought them.
Emotercycles still have range issues compared to gas bikes, with most topping out at 100 miles, but other modern brands are either selling them at 5k-10k or have implemented tech like battery swapping to make that range viable. Some companies are doing both.
Zero makes cheaper EV bikes, they are some kind of money laundry because they never report sales and are private, so never reveal finances. I have yet to see one in the wild.

To be fair they kept their engines insanely ineffective just because the buyers would prefer the sound over performance/consumption

They also outsourced manufacturing. That burned a lot of goodwill with their fans.
Their fans are over 70 years old and dying fast. Harley should just stick to t shirts.
There are a number of EVs that make all sorts of fake engine sounds, both to the interior and exterior. The feature is surprisingly popular.
No it isn’t. The Dodge Charger EV was a complete sales flop.
That model was a flop, but people love the feature. Just not enough to buy the rest of the car that goes with it.
It’s also not the only model with that feature.
