Despite continuing headwinds, Harley-Davidson remains committed to its LiveWire division. “We are excited to show you the latest from the LiveWire team,” said CEO Karim Donnez. “You’re looking at a new electric platform which is currently in development. These bikes are 125cc equivalents, in both trail and street versions. We wanted to show you what we’ve been working on, while also giving you a chance to contribute feedback in terms of colors, accessories or other options you’d like to see from this range.”
A series of teaser events and a big reveal for the little bikes at the Harley Homecoming helped introduce the concept. The platform is powered by two removable batteries that can be recharged or exchanged. Both models offer near 30” seat heights, and early testing has shown performance attributes of 0–30 mph in about 3 seconds, a top speed of around 53 mph, and a range of about 100 miles.
The trail model is intended for riding backyards, pump tracks, or even out on the ranch or campgrounds. The street model is perfect for urban errands, new riders, mini-moto fans and anyone looking for a new hobby in the form of a readily customizable, approachable electric moto experience.
“These prototypes were on display at Harley-Davidson’s Homecoming Celebration at the H-D Museum in Milwaukee and we’re inviting the community to share feedback on everything from design, accessories and comfort to use case,” he claimed. Stay tuned for more updates.
