I think it looks pretty cool, particlarly for a harley... and an electric bike nonetheless!

 

I wonder what it is about electric vehicles that every manufcaturer except tesla decides "Hey, lets make this stuff looks as goofy and different as humanly possible".

 

Zero bikes are pretty normal looking too I guess.

I foresee a time when bikers will want the loudest whine possible....

electric whine?  why not a nice sound system that lets you choose your "exhaust sound", gets louder with rpm type deal... so why not a 16cylinder radial motor sound, why? when was the last time the avg person heard a 16cylinder radial engine 😂😂, that will get your attention...

I test rode a Zero a couple of times. I like the "no sound" of an electric bike. Its a slight "whirring" noise, really. 

 

Noisemakers are just a crazy idea.  What purpose would they serve?  It would be a short fad, and then others would start making fun of it.   Like those fart can mufflers little kids put on their Honda's.

I too have tested out the zero

I liked it, but I think a little noise would be nice

Of course, there is no limit to the possibilities of sound. The mind begins to boggle...

Just do it!

If I remember correctly I read somewhere that Harley will use straight cut gears in electric bikes to make more mechanical noise.
How "Harley" of them to do that.
