Legendary motorcycle builder Harley-Davidson teased an electric motorcycle with a video yesterday and now right here it is. Mission LiveWire is part of Harley's try to broaden its relevance past current riders and show off its new tech, with a not-in-production bike that it says is much more than only a commerce-present prototype. Venture LiveWire packs its electrical motor into a polished case underneath the bike, and clearly the manufacturer is anxious about how prospects may feel about shedding signature touches like the V-twin engines and chrome pipes. The press launch and video trailer promise "an unmistakeable new sound" like a jet on an plane carrier and tire shredding acceleration however haven't any specs to supply (in response to Wired , the demo unit has 74hp, electrically restricted 95mph top velocity, 53 miles of vary and charges in three.5 hours). Built on a one-piece frame with dual-sided rear swing arm suspension, it has LED lighting all over and even a colourful touchscreen show for its rider. Of course, the easiest way to figure out if its prospects want an electric bike is to put them on one, and the company is doing simply that with a demo tour this year.
