As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!
Dear Robertaccio,
As a point oif clarification those aren't 2011 Zeroes. The announcement and photos go out next week. We will offer a full range of motorcycles with dramtically new styling and performance platforms. Nothing has been influenced by Husqvarna I can assure you of that. Our business is being built on the transportation, commuting and fun recreation sector. We are signing global distributors at the rate of two/mo and our dealer network asa whole is growing rapidly as well. Our greatest opportunity is coming from fleet sales and govt agencies with a huge number of requests coming from police depts around the world. Our strategies are well developed and sound. We are driven to be the leaders in developing this new technology, create U.S. based manufacturing jobs, lowering our dependence on foreign oil and attract all new customers to our sport. I am very happy to say that we are becoming very successful on all fronts. The focus is not on replacing the current use model for off road motorcycles. That market is is being served very well by the tradional ICE OEMs. That market is also the smallest of all motorcylcle markets. We are focused on a much bigger picture and are hoping to secure our brand as the global leader in driving this new technology to the marketplace. It is a huge challenge but very exciting. If we are successful we will be responsible for a truly transformational change in the development of two wheeled transportaion and recreation and it will come from an AMERICAN company.
There are a lot of misconceptions out there about what electric motorcycles can and cannot do. I just wanted to clear some of this up. In regards to off road use our product is intended as a supplement for your traditional ICE riding experience. We offer an opportunity for quick afterwork and weekend rides in the back yard or the vacant lot across the street. Because we make no sound we are not an issue for 90% of those that oppose what we do. I can tell you from personal experience that riding an electric bike in these conditions is just as much fun as my regular bike. In any case, thanks for thinking about us. This is the first time I've checked in at CafeHusky since I left 6 months ago. Hope everyone is doing well in Husqvarna land.
Thanks for checking in Scot, good to see things are progressing nicely and the E-bike thing is in full swing. We are one big battery development away from the e-bike wave i believe.
You guys know that ICE is EV-speak for Internal Combustion Engine, right?![]()
