Off Topic » Zero motorcycles partners with Polaris Industries

It looks like Zero (the U.S. electric motorcycle manufacturer) will be providing the power trains and battery packs for Polaris off-road products, while Polaris provides the chassis design, manufacturing, marketing, retail dealers and distribution network for a new line of battery-powered commercial and recreational vehicles, perhaps including snowmobiles and watercraft.

This partnership makes sense considering the environmental restrictions being placed upon recreational vehicle usage around the world and will do its bit to help with reducing global warming.

Here is more spin regarding this new partnership by the two new partners. Polaris has more to say about their company than does Zero. Polaris's purchase of Brammo's technology even deserved a mention in Polaris's comments, although not their failed Victory electric motorcycle or the selling of their EV tech to Cummins a couple of years ago, leaving them without any way to develop electric vehicles in-house: https://electricmotorcycles.news/polaris...ro-motorcycles/

Didn't HD team with someone to develop the Livewire?

Here is the news that likely spurred Polaris to enter into their arrangement with Zero: https://www.asphaltandrubber.com/dirt/ca...bikes-ban-2035/

As a massive market for vehicles, CA could be viewed as creating a business opportunity for producers of e-vehicles. Perhaps, not the production, but a location for vehicle design and R&D. Similar to Designworks USA.
