Harley-Davidson electric motorcycle? Naah. Does Harley-Davidson LiveWire sounds familiar to you?Well, believe it or not, this is a reality. Harley designed their electric motorcycle prototype named LiveWire in 2014 and all of us at The Man agree that it looks pretty slick. Test LiveWire motorcycles were delivered to drivers in the States and Europe in 2015, rather silently.

Notice that LiveWire accelerates like a sports bike, and a fast one too.

Very interesting we say.All things considered, it will be pretty exciting to see how the motorcyclists’ community will respond to this change. Especially the fans of HD. We should all agree though that one thing is clear and that is the fact that Harley-Davidson is making bold moves at this time where electric motorcycles are a more futuristic idea than a reality.Harley-Davidson LiveWire. Obviously, the future just arrived.The LiveWire went into production in 2019 after years of ideas and roadshows.
