Founded in Wisconsin

Harley-Davidson® was founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, by childhood friends William S. Harley and Arthur Davidson in a small garage in 1903. The first item the friends built was a single-cylinder engine that was designed to be added to a simple pedal bicycle, which had only just been developed within the preceding few decades. 

Because the engine was not able to power the bicycle up Milwaukee’s steep hills, the two men tried again to develop a motorized bicycle without pedals. The resulting invention was a motorcycle that swiftly became popular with locals. Soon, Harley-Davidson® was able to build a factory and keep up with high customer demand.
 

Creating a Name

During the ensuing decades, Harley-Davidson® motorcycles were used during World War I and World War II, because the company was able to weather the Great Depression well compared to other motorcycle manufacturers.

The company began to expand its range of motorcycles by tailoring new models to certain uses, including competition, style, long-distance riding, and off-roading. Today, you can choose from a wide variety of different Harley-Davidson® motorcycles that feature classic stylings and advanced features.
