Harley-Davidson to Launch Electric Motorcycle – LiveWire – in 2019

July 30, 2018 by Joshua Varghese Leave a Comment

Harley-Davidson announce that their electric line-up will be heralded by the LiveWire; due for launch in 2019

Latest news from the renowned American cruiser marque reveal that the manufacturer is almost ready to jump into the electric motorcycle market. Christened the ‘LiveWire’, and based on the Project LiveWire prototype that surfaced a few years back, this battery-powered Bar & Shield bike will begin hitting showrooms by 2019.

We rode the Project Livewire prototype back in 2015. Click here to find out what we thought about it.

Visually, the LiveWire looks like a stripped-down Street Rod with a pronounced sporty stance. The lack of a large V-twin between in frame may irk H-D loyalists but it is a commendable step by H-D towards eco-friendly mobility. Unlike its fossil-fuel-powered ancestors, the new kid on the block will not have a clutch lever. Should be an interesting motorcycle to ride when it arrives in India.

The fact that an iconic brand like H-D that is synonymous with cruisers will progress into the electric motorcycle market shows that they are willing to innovate and broaden their horizons.

In recent years, however, the MT-10 has begun to show its age, especially in terms of technology and rider aids. It was always on the thirsty side, too, and, by modern standards, the brakes were lacking. It was time for an update, which is why for 2022 Yamaha introduced a new MT-10 earlier this year.
