What was the first electric start motorcycle?

The first electric start Motorcycle was the Harley-Davidson Duo-Glide, introduced in 1965. This innovative bike featured an electric starter motor that eliminated the need for kick-starting, making it easier and more convenient for riders to start their motorcycles. Prior to the Duo-Glide, motorcycles typically used a kick-start mechanism, which required the rider to manually kick-start the engine by pushing down on a lever. The introduction of the electric start feature revolutionized the Motorcycle industry and set the stage for the modern convenience we see in motorcycles today.
