I wish there were a company willing to go around the patent and trade secret litigation to just continue to make what is already known to exist. This is done quite a number of times in the mountain bike market with suspension design patents by producing and selling outside the US and only supplying to US market through second hand (ie. Specialized Horst Link). At least then the world could be flooded with quality electric bikes and Harley would have a hard time litigating what is out of their control. Also, that Harley electric bike is freaking ugly.
