While the company said its testing is progressing “well,” it did not offer a timeline as to when the production will resume.Harley’s shares turned lower on the news and were last trading down 1% at US$34.73
The company is betting on electric motorcycles to attract the next generation of younger and more environmentally conscious riders in a bid to reverse declining U.S. sales. LiveWire - priced at $29,799 - has been available for preorder in the United States since January. The bulk of the orders for the bike were coming in from existing riders, its dealers told Reuters.
