I have a feeling based on this info the Live Wire will NOT be HD's savior $30k with a 100 mile range
Harley-Davidson's LiveWire Electric Motorcycle Will Retail For $29,000
2019 LiveWire Electric Motorbike | Harley-Davidson USA.... at Las Vegas' Consumer Electronics Showcase on Monday, the motorcycle company showed off its first ever pure electric bike.
We caught glimpses of the company's sleek, LiveWire electric motorcycle late last year, and were quickly intrigued by everything so defiantly un-Harley-like about it.
At the time, there were more questions about LiveWire than there were answers, but Harley has finally released details on the bike, which will reportedly retail for $29,000 when it company starts fulfilling orders in the fall.
If anything, the LiveWire almost has more in common with a Model X: It goes 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. Because it's electric, twisting the throttle can instantly engage 100 percent of the bike's torque, .....There's also the question of range as well, since you cant just stop at the gas station. Thebike will travel 110 miles on a single charge, the company says.
What is the range of the LiveWire?
The high-voltage battery, or RESS, provides an estimated 110 miles of range, measured using the MIC mixed-use cycle.
Riding range estimates based on current SAE testing of LiveWire concept motorcycle. Actual riding range will vary based on several factors including weather and driving conditions.
TWO EASY WAYS TO CHARGE
Use the onboard Level 1 charger and power cord to connect to any standard household outlet and get a full charge overnight. For a faster charge, visit any public Level 3 DC Fast Charge station......The LiveWire can be charged at any compatible charging station, or with its on-board charger and a standard household outlet.
Level 1 (standard household outlet): 13 miles range per hour of charged.
Level 2: LiveWire can be connected to a Level 2 charge unit but will be charged at the Level 1 rate.
Level 3 (DC Fast Charge): 192 miles range per hour charged.
How much will the H-D Connect annual subscription cost?
H-D Connect will be free for the first year. After that, there will be a subscription fee.
Will the LiveWire motorcycle retain all functionality if I don't care to subscribe to HD Connect?
Without the subscription that is required to maintain a cellular service, owners will not be able to take advantage of any of the remote status and security features.
