2020 Harley-Davidson LiveWire
Contents
The 2020 Harley-Davidson LiveWire is the company’s first electric motorcycle ever. It’s fast and impressive to look at but comes with only a mildly impressive range and a soul-crushing price tag. The motorcycle is a move in the right direction for Harley, but it’s far from the bike most people wanted.
The LiveWire gets a permanent magnet electric motor that provides instant torque and can launch the bike from 0-60 mph in three seconds. The range sits at 146 miles in the city and 95 miles on the highway. The engine makes 105 hp and 86 lb-ft of torque.
The LiveWire is the first of its kind. Harley will build more electric bikes in the future. This bike is the halo bike for the rest. The LiveWire has an absolutely outrageous starting price of $29,799.
The motorcycle is available in three colors: Vivid Black, Orange Fuse, and Yellow Fuse.
