For many motorcycle enthusiasts, riding a Harley Davidson bike into the sunset is the is one of the most incredible experiences in the world. However, as we’re rapidly using up our global fuel reserves, it seems that even one of the world’s most renowned muscle motorcycle manufacturers is ready to be a part of the increasingly popular electric trend. The Harley Davidson Livewire Electric Motorcycle is definitely an impressive 2-wheeler, at least as far as its aesthetics are concerned.
Featuring a menacing, modern design and a superb color combination of black and red, this new Harley Davidson creation definitely looks like it could tackle even the most powerful motorcycles in the world, but whether its performance will actually be up to par with its looks it remains to be seen. That’s because the Livewire Electric isn’t actually a production vehicle just yet. Granted, it’s not just a prototype either because Harley Davidson plans to deliver it to about 30 dealerships across the United States. However, once it arrives at those dealerships, the motorcycle would become available to potential customers for testing purposes exclusively, and the feedback gained from these test runs would help Harley’s experts to fine tune and perfect the final product.
Releasing an electric motorcycle that boasts the Harley Davidson badge is a risky prospect for obvious reasons. Many of the company’s clients are used to hearing the deep rumble of a powerful engine under their seats, which is why some of them might be disappointed in seeing a Harley Davidson motorcycle that’s as quiet as a whisper. Furthermore, power limitations and range concerns could also hinder the Livewire Electric’s overall success, but if its makers are able to overcome these obstacles, then this bike has a big chance to represent the future of electric 2 wheelers.
