Harley-Davidson’s highly anticipated electric motorcycle gets a bit of exposure at CES. The motorcycle manufacturer announced the LiveWire is now available for preorder and will be delivered to those who preorder later in the fall. It’s going to cost a pretty penny, though, at US$29,799. The electric bike is capable of going from 0 to 60mph in under 3.5 seconds and it requires no clutch or gear shifting, making it simpler for new riders. Harley says it can travel 110 city miles on a single charge, but the company didn’t specify how this translates on the highway. It can be charged from a standard household outlet with Level 1 charger and power or riders can visit public Level 3 DC Fast Charge stations for a quicker top-up. The bike has seven riding modes to choose from—four are standard and three are customizable.
It has a tiltable, colour touchscreen above the handlebar. The LiveWire also comes with a telematics system called H-D Connect, which has data on the bike’s vital stats such as battery charging, service reminders, and even tampering. These data can be sent to the owner via Harley’s connected app, making this the brand’s first mass-market, cellular-connected electric motorcycle. It comes in vivid black, yellow fuse, and orange fuse.
