It did not take long for Polaris Industries to provide a tilt of his intentions to Brammo. Hot off the heels of the announcement on January 15 that it had acquired the electric motorcycle business Brammo, Polaris Industries has filed a trademark for a magazine “victory” on 27 January 2015. “No further details are available, but Polaris has said it “The trademark covers “electric motorcycles and its structural parts, expects to begin manufacturing electric motorcycles during the second half of 2015 in the lake of his mind, ease of Iowa. “
Victory currently offers 10 basic models in its range of 2015 all powered by its 1731cc Freedom 106 V-Twin. Polaris of the parent company also owns the Indian Motorcycle Co., a company it acquired in 2011. Since the acquisition, it seems that the energy boost Polaris focused on the re-launch of the iconic brand while that new developments in the victory took a back seat. The victory last year offered 15 basic models, but motorcycles long as the Jackpot has been nixed in 2015. An electric bike could be the catalyst needed victory to revive the company.
The charger victory could also be a response to Polaris LiveWire Harley-Davidson. Harley has been actively promoting its electric motorcycle with towers and national marketing campaigns. Although LiveWire was presented as a “prototype”, the consensus is that the electric Harley will soon be a production model.
It would seem that the Harley-Davidson LiveWire gave some ideas to Victory since according to motorcycle.com; one called electric load would be in preparation…
Unveiled in the middle of last year, the electric Harley – Davidson LiveWire was taken aback to fans of the American giant. If we were miles away from thinking that HD was going to attempt an intrusion on this segment, it was also the antithesis to consider that Victory would make as much and yet, according to motorcycle.com, a Charger Victory would be in the cards. It is also true that Polaris Victory owner more work for 4 years with Brammo electric expert! -, is formalizing its acquisition not later than 10 days ago. Then it is almost all naturally that one can imagine an electric Victory catalogue history to come Tickle Harley-Davidson in this field. Who says slippery?
Now remains to be seen if Victory will manage to create the same buzz as HD a few months ago.
