This is the fun electric moped Harley‑Davidson designed and almost built
Sleek, street-legal, and brimming with potential, it was a concept that looked like the perfect entry point into urban electric mobility for youthful riders and city commuters alike. With Harley’s branding, a slick removable battery for easy charging, and design filings that showed a nearly production-ready machine, this could’ve been a breakout moment in light electric vehicles. But instead, it was shelved, leaving a gaping hole in a market that’s now bursting with demand for just this kind of ride.

Electric mopeds are coming: Munro Motor launches new $1,700 retro-looking battery-powered bikes
Electric powertrains are already quite common in two-wheel vehicles – thanks to electric scooters, which are already extremely popular in Asia, somewhat popular in Europe, but less popular in North America. Now a relatively new segment of electric mopeds is coming and should make two-wheel electric vehicles significantly more popular.
We could argue about the differences between motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds, which can also be different with an electric powertrain, but generally speaking a moped will look more like a motorcycle than a scooter and it will have weaker powertrain which generally results and less stringent licensing requirements and therefore, it makes them more accessible than motorcycles.
