Harley-Davidson developing three-wheelers
Iconic U.S. bike-builder Harley-Davidson, Inc. (ticker symbol: HOG) announced Friday that it will develop a range of Harley-branded three-wheeled ‘trikes.’ The company is partnering with South Dakota’s Lehman Trikes (the self-proclaimed ‘Leader of the Three World’) to build Harley trikes based on its motorcycles, like the aftermarket Lehman Renegade touring model shown above. The new trikes will be sold through Harley dealers.
Lehman already builds three-wheeled conversions of Harley-Davidson, Honda and Suzuki bikes, among others.
Looks to us like Harley is covering its bets as its core demographic gets ever older…
