Like all electric vehicles, it is quick off the mark. Once underway, it just keeps powering forward in a perfectly smooth and linear way unlike a slow-revving, petrol-engined Harley.
Features
- It is an electric bike.
- The LiveWire celebrates its motive power with a sculptural and highly polished lump of aluminium loosely inspired by the look of the superchargers on drag-racing cars
- The motor is mounted longitudinally, with the power transmitted to the rear wheel by a bevel gear.
- The gear has more than a purely mechanical function.
- It has been designed to produce a very obvious, medium-pitched whine, the volume of which increases with the speed of the bike.
