HARLEY DAVIDSON LAUNCHES THE LIVEWIRE ONE ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLE

This new offering has very similar specifications to its predecessor LiveWire (codenamed XA) but comes with a more attractive price. For instance, the LiveWire One starts at $21,999 without any federal, state, or local tax benefit (closer to $20,000 with tax credits). In comparison, Harley’s first e-bike had a hefty price tag of around $30,000. Though people appreciated the idea, design, and performance, the pricing ruined the bike’s potential success.To get more news about emobility, you can visit davincimotor.com official website.

But the LiveWire One’s feature that is really worth our attention here is its much-better range, which now stands at 146 city miles (235 km) on a single charge, a significant upgrade from the first model’s 110 miles. Besides, on a DC fast charger, the LW1 will go from 0-100% in just 60 minutes and 0 to 80% in 45 minutes.

The company is describing its brand-new LiveWire One as “the first electric motorcycle built for the urban experience, with the power and range to take you beyond.” Harley even claims the LW1 is a “bike with a pulse,” where the rider will feel a “haptic heartbeat.” The whole idea is to give it “a touch of humanity” despite the electric drivetrain.

The new LiveWire One sure looks like an attractive new offering, but Harley-Davidson may face stiff competition from all-electric motorcycle manufacturers such as Zero Motorcycles. Its inventory stacks up multiple models of attractively priced e-bikes starting from $10,000, with availability across the US and other countries.Meanwhile, the LW1 will only be available in three US states—Texas, California, and New York—with limited highway range, cross-country performance, and fragmented EV charging infrastructure. Still, Harley Davidson’s brand was never about pocket-friendly machines and more about quality and engineering.

Also worth mentioning, Harley Davidson is adopting a “hybrid omnichannel model” approach for its customer buying experience. This new approach consists of ordering from a dedicated online shop and taking delivery of the bike from the twelve LiveWire galleries that will open this fall.
