Harley Davidson LiveWire

From afar the all-new machine possesses more than a passing resemblance to its large V-twin engined brethren. The styling of the squared-off headlight cowl and petrol tank are clear Harley design cues. On closer inspection however it is obvious that all is not quite as it seems. At the very core of the bike sits its sizable battery, something Harley Davidson calls a ’Renewable Energy Storage System’. In technical terms, it’s a 5.

Located directly beneath the battery is the LiveWire’s ‘Revelation’ water-cooled electric motor, which Harley Davidson says is good for 0-60mph in 3.0 seconds. Should the need for virtually instant overtaking manoeuvres arise, it can also shoot from 60-80mph in a hugely impressive 1.9 seconds. Once underway you can’t fail to notice the smoothness of the motor, the jet turbine-style sound it makes and the distinct lack of gears, which has your left hand and foot often reaching into thin air for an absent clutch or gear lever. You also quickly warm to the abundant power and torque, all 104bhp and 86 lb ft of it. Delivered in a wonderfully controllable and linear manner, the system is super simple to operate, you simply twist and go.
