This controversial motorcycle from Easy Rider appears once more…

Back in 1969 Easy Rider wowed audiences with its counterculture flair, making it a hit with people who favored a life of drug abuse, communal living, and the hippie movement in general.

A designer put together a really impressive Tesla electric motorcycle concept that makes you wish the automaker would actually get into the bike business, which Elon Musk says will not happen.

Back in 2018, Elon Musk was asked by a Tesla shareholder if the automaker would ever get into electric motorcycles and the CEO responded:
