Here is the video of my ride on the Harley-Davidson LiveWire on a private test track of Michelin. I was very curious to try an electric motorcycle after having watched the video of RoyalJordanian about the BMW C-Evolution (https://youtu.be/OGwHR7npXWY). I haven’t been disappointed!

Good video. I would want to test drive one for at least a week to get comfortable with the completely different technology and feel of it. Ride Safe and Stay Happy.
They are releasing it in 2019
Sorry I don’t like it. I prefer it to be a little wider for handle bars. And a longer body.
Looks like Ducati
SOUNDS LIKE A MILK FLOAT ! LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE NEEDS TO LEARN ABOUT COUNTER STEERING
Hurry up and make me a Electric Tron bike
Reminds me of the Buell bikes!
Too bad it is such a generic design. I liked the old days of the cruiser style bikes better.
I like it. But the price has to be competitive. Around the $10k or less. Or it won’t sell.
There good but dangerous because you carnt hear them coming
captain america stammt von einem afroamerikaner. HD hatte Sich strickt geweigert für den Film HD zu Verfügung zu stellen.
50 mile range? I ride further than that to work. Sell it to the Europeans, I don’t think Americans are going to go for this.
Electric motorcycle is not motorcycle!
Mirrors are horrible.
Yep ebikes will be great once the batteries are better but its been years now and they can still only get 50 to 60 miles per charge there has been no real progression
The designers has designed batteries into the bike and not the other way around. You need a certain amount of KW in order to get a satisfied radius! No argue about that. You can see that there is just not enough volume for batteries and motor. End result is: no sales. Just my opinion!
thank’s for posting but nobody cares for your gasoline preference. in 10 years tops we’ll look back at the weaknesses of combustion engines asking ourselves: how the hell didn’t we transition faster.
Give me fuel give me fire give me that which I desire!
Could you please drive a little bit fucking! Faster you fucking wuss I’m 14 I ride dirt bikes I would passing those other guys before you could realize what such a wuss you are
People don’t ride the Harleys because they are good bikes. People ride Harleys because they are loud and obnoxious. The people who ride the Harleys are loud and obnoxious. My obnoxious neighbor who rides a Harley, won’t want a quiet bike. She wants a loud bike. Yes, your prototype is good, but will it appeal to those who are currently buying them? No. Will they appeal to a different market? Maybe.
One of the thingsI love about riding is the sound the engine makes. Electric bikes won’t catch on with my generation.
This is just out right stupid !
Wondering how it compares to its competitors, in acceleration and speed.
Looks like a crotch rocket I think they should do a more traditional look or at least a modern mix of a cruiser
Chassis looks very much like a Buell….hmmmm….
40 mile range is a joke. I can ride 3x that much on a bicycle in a day. Expensive toy it will be.
I’ve got to get me one of these!
Wenn man bei Harley Davidson nur noch aufs Geld schaut. Sollte man sich überlegen eine
neue Strategie und Umsatz denken das ändern können. Nicht immer wo HD drauf steht ist aus den USA sondern ein bielich produkte. Den mythos HD haben die kunden gemacht nicht HD. Beste beispiel ist berühmte HD captain america. Da mit hat HD am wenigsten. Sie stammt von einem afroamerikaner für den berühmten Film. HD hatte sich geweigert eine HD zu Verfügung zu stellen.
40 Mile Range. What a joke. I bet this new toy will be Fifteen Grand.
I will take a 48 Pan head or 47 Knuckle head please. Thank you.
horrible
It needs some cards in the spokes:)
