Wow awesome video! I'm motivated to go ride! My story: I spent probably 4.5 hours total traveling to go test ride one of these with a friend at the end of this past summer, at a special Livewire demo event, one of only a few held in the US. It was based out of a large mall parking lot with the test route taking us around the mall and the surrounding service roads. We had these things going 90+ in that congested setting, it was truly crazy. My number one observation to share with someone who never experienced riding a Livewire would be how effortlessly the power comes on. Unlike a normal engine, the electric motor seems completely unstressed whether you're just floating through traffic at 10 MPH, or literally wide open accelerating to 100. If you appreciate engines, it's a unique sensation. Oh and by the way, I definitely believe it accelerates 0-60 in significantly less than 3 seconds. That might be another case of Harley underpromising on stats. I'll be sure to recommend this video to people I know! Thank you.

Nice review! Worth pointing out that it is not quiet accurate to say there was no space for a L2 charger. The space under the seat is EXACTLY the size required for a 3.3 kW L2 charger (see any Energica motorcycle). I can only assume they had one there in pre-production and then pulled it out for cost-containment, or maybe they are planning one as a future upgrade.
@MattLaidlaw

For space, weight, etc reasons they had to make a decision for level 3 or 2. They went with the faster one. I think there are less level 3 chargers out there than 2 but I think it’s the right decision to go 3. This will “future proof” the bike a little more and dealerships are all required to have level 3. Plus charging is free at the dealers with level 3

But we all have to respect how much effor HD put into this, we can all remember when the project started and everyone was like 'meh', now in 2020 its here and it probably is the best electric bike in the market, 'not a Harley' definitely but amazing engineering, and if t can hel HD stay in the market well, welcome to the family.

Wonder where electric bikes will be in 100 years, but also to get to where the latest gas harleys are you had to start off with that 1903 harley which was most likely expensive and impractical even back in 1903.

Ok so lets be honest. The bike looks great. HD designers really hit it out of the park. The ZEROs look amateurish up next to the Live wire. One hour charge, ok not so bad. Ergos and performance A+. Now the down side. So I roll up to my local HD dealership with 5% on the clock, figuring I will kill an hour hanging out and charge my bike. But there is only one charge station and two other bikes are in line ahead of me. Hmmmm ( HD has designed this bike for the "Urban" environment. I don't know about you but I ride a motorcycle to enjoy the experience, none of that ride footage you showed looked anywhere close to enjoyable. So HD has designed a motorcycle specifically to ride in one of the most dangerous, stressful, and least enjoyable riding environments possible. Hmmmm ( But, it is a start! As with all new tech, prices come down and performance goes up exponentially in accordance with Moore's Law. So in 5 years HD may have a bike that will get 350 miles on a full charge that takes only 15 minutes at just about any charging station. Its a bold effort and you have to tip your hat to HD for having the balls to try it. If you were in their shoes would you have the guts to risk the company by doing something like the Live Wire? Good Luck HD

Great video, Matt. Thanks for putting in the time for people that didn't know much about this thing, like me. I'm 33 and fell in love with Harley's at an early age because of the Old Man. I only recently got one in 2018. The FatBob 114. Absolutely love it and absolutely love the Harley Brand. I am still skeptical of the electric bike. It's still a fresh fish in a sea of two wheeled machines. Harley has done an amazing job, nonetheless. By far the coolest one I've ever seen. I'm sure some day most people will learn to adapt (including myself) to the electric bike format. Until then, I'm proud of Harley for staying innovative, motivated and up to date with their builds. All that being said, still can't beat the rumble of a cammed, piped, tuned blopping Harley. Although, we don't always have to ride the same bikes. Having an arsenal/variety in the garage is what the true enthusiast thrives for.

So that is about 2-2.5 hours on the bike and then 1 hour off. Good for local commute and short fun rides, but not good for long distance riding or touring.

So if Arnold (T-800) is the Old School Fat Boy. Then Robert (T-1000) is the Livewire.

Iron 1981 don’t mean to be a 🤓 but I believe Arnold’s model number was T-800? Lol

Great video man! Very interesting to see actual riders opinions on these, they seem like a great practical option for those who daily commute and will be another option for touring once charges are more available throughout the country

Robert makes a living with his looks and he is the one without a helmet on some segments.

Awesome video Matt - and the LiveWire is an awesome bike. And who better than Mr Robert Patrick to help showcase this futuristic machine? Exciting times for Harley-Davidson and good to see the most traditional of MC brands writing the future of motorcycling. I currently ride an Indian Scout but who knows; bikes like this, the amazing Fat Bob and many more to come keep the limelight on H-D and give the industry leadership and competition. Yes - I'm tempted 😎

Too bad you couldn't have gotten your Dad out there with you on this day. That would've been really nice. I love that video of him riding on his old Harley Davidson. 👍

You ran the live wire out power. Dose the live freewheel(disengage) to push? And if so can you freewheel while riding?

Yes, you can push it no problem when it’s out of juice.

Harley is going to kill them selves with their prices. Modern youth doesn’t have 30k for a bike. They’re making them selves a rich mans hobby.
