Oh, and the title? Ca vient de la planète Mars!
WIdening their appeal.
Going from motorbikes for fat boys to bicycles for fat boys... 🙂
I bet they'll still manage to engineer in some anti-social noise.
If it's anything like their motorbikes it'll cost twice as much as anything else, be based on 1980's technology and bought in it's thousands by ATGNIers.
You have to wonder how may peds are going to cause accidents walking out in front of silent e-bikes/mopeds etc

Relatively few?
Apart from antisocial fart cannons with the letters S, R or A, U, D, or I in their model name most modern IEC cars are wisper quiet around town, its all tyre noise.
That and people will adapt, deaf people manage.

It's no problem, they will just be an electric version of the fossil bikes, and no doubt there will be a noise making accessory. In any case, modern H-Ds don't get ridden very far so the risk is low.
But they will need more public posturing spots where the fat weekend warriors can hang around next to their bikes drinking beer to enlarge their rippling breasts and belly, and scowling through their stubble in the hope it makes them look like authentic bad boys.
