There’s perhaps no bike manufacturer that’s quite as iconic as Harley-Davidson. Known for its incredibly robust and powerful nature, Harley-Davidson has been releasing a number of great bikes. However, one of their newest offerings is slightly dividing the fan base.

Harley owners are typically rough, brutish individuals that don’t care much for anything under a 1000cc. The kind of people that would scoff at the thought an electric bike wearing the Harley badge.

However, Harley is an innovative company and is trying to come up with different products that cater to a more sensitive market. The future is electric, and Harley doesn’t want to be left behind. As a result, they came up with the quite brilliant LiveWire Electric Bike. It looks just as tough as any other Harley, and is easily one of the best-looking electric bikes on the market! Here are 15 sick pics of the 2020 Harley-Davidson LiveWire!

Everyone was sort of skeptical about Harley releasing an electric bike because of their tough image. The LiveWire doesn’t look like a traditional Harley at all, and the styling looks distinctly European. That’s not to say it isn’t a fantastic looking bike. The aggressive body and the wide handlebars make the bike quite a head-turner

13 H-D Revelation Motor

Powering the LiveWire is a 15.5 kWh battery. The battery gives life to Harley’s Revelation motor, which sits right below the battery. It’s the motor that provides the LiveWire with all its power. With an output of 85.5lb-ft of torque and 105-horsepower, you can expect the LiveWire to offer you very decent performance!

12 Proper Fast

The LiveWire isn’t just your run-of-the-mill electric bike. It’s proper fast. With the motor capable of generating so much torque, the bike accelerates brilliantly. 0-60 mph takes three seconds flat, and the bike goes on to a top speed of 110mph! These figures are good enough to smoke most gas-powered Harleys.

11 Very Little Sound

Despite the incredible performance, the LiveWire doesn’t make a lot of sounds. One of the main reasons why people love sportbikes, is feeling the roar of the engine. However, something is enticing about how the LiveWire races by with just a slight mechanical humming sound. It’s fascinating how electric motors work!

10 No Gears

There are no gears at all when you’re riding the LiveWire. From 0 to all the way 110mph, there’s only one gear that the Harley has to work with. If you’re worried about how the power is distributed around various speeds, you’re going to be very pleased. The throttle response is immediate at every point!

9 Range

When you’re talking about range, the LiveWire has a total City range of 146 miles. However, that range is dependent on a lot of factors. If you’re going to take the bike on the highway, it’ll provide you with a range of 95 miles. In comparison to Harley’s other bikes, the range is right up there!

Typically, you would notice that Harley-Davidson bikes usually don’t incorporate a lot of modern technology. However, with the LiveWire, they’re completely embracing a modern approach. Harley has inserted a beautiful screen that controls all the functions and output on the bike. The digital speedometer also looks brilliant; it’s a great modern update.

7 Custom Calibrations

Additionally, from the new digital screen, you can control several aspects of the bike. These include power output, charge status, Abs braking, and traction control. You can mess around and see what settings suit you best. Harley also gives you the ability to download an app and easily adjust settings from smartphones.

6 Charging

Charging speed is something that will hold back electric vehicles for the foreseeable future. On a fast-charging station, it takes close to 40 minutes to go from zero battery to eighty percent. However, if you’re using a regular AC charger, it’ll take you 12 hours to get to full battery! Treat it like your smartphone, and you should be fine.
