After all, the brand is synonymous with loud, rumbling engines and a rock-n-roll, devil-may-care attitude. Well, it turns out that Harley-Davidson has been hard at work on an eclectic bike for years, developing prototypes through their Project LiveWire since 2014. And how have they been spending their time? Doing exactly what you would hope and expect: crafting and testing designs that capture authentic Harley-Davidson style and performance in a state-of-the-art electric model. Yes, the LiveWire Electric Motorcycle promises to deliver the feel, look, and even sound of a classic Harley-Davidson.
Harley-Davidson has divulged few specific details regarding the LiveWire Electric Motorcycle and has offered only a glimpse of a rough preproduction prototype. However, it plans to release a consumer version of its first electric bike throughout North America and parts of Europe in 2019.
