Harley-Davidson LiveWire Review: World's first ride on Harley's first electric motorcycle

Опубликовано 15 июля 2019, 19:36

The Harley-Davidson LiveWire is Harley's first EV, and the first EV from what we would consider a major, mainstream motorcycle company. At $29,799, it's also one of the most expensive. The core of the bike isn't a V-twin or any other kind of engine, because there simply isn't one. There is instead an 105-horsepower electric motor, but despite its chrome plating it's really the battery pack that serves as the heart of this bike -- so much so that Harley isn't even calling it a battery pack. Oh no, this is a "Renewable Energy Storage System."

The Harley Davidson LiveWire stores 15.5 kilowatt-hours of electricity in its lithium-ion heart, enough for the LiveWire to cover an estimated 146 miles of maximum range. Hit the highway and you'll do as few as 70 on a charge, with a combined figure of 95. That's a fair bit less than the electric Zero SR which, with the Power Tank, is rated for 223 in the city.

The LiveWire is a far more comprehensively built and tuned bike than its immediate competitors.
