From the most archaic, cantankerous moto maker to forward thinking anorak overnight.
Meet the HD Livewire, one of the first electric bikes to market at the absolute first from the mainstream manufacturers.
She's a pretty looking thing with a cafe-ish profile and raked riding position, a clear departure from what most would call traditional bar and shield.

Battery Capacity is a little suspect with only 50 guaranteed miles on tap, but thats plenty enough for the urban socialite this is clearly lined up for. Its a bit of an open source project (to a degree)Featuring a three-phase induction motor with 55 kW of power (just under 74hp) and 52 lb-ft of torque, the Harley-Davidson Livewire is packing more power than both the Brammo Empulse R (54 hp) and Zero SR (67 hp).
This could be very cool...Harley-Davidson Livewire isn’t a finished project from Milwaukee. Instead, Harley-Davidson is looking for customer feedback on its first electric motorcycle model, and will be setting up demo rides at Harley-Davidson dealers for loyal Bar & Shield enthusiasts.
