This bike just went on sale at my local Harley dealership for $22,000. Most likely due to the announcement that HD will be splitting off Livewire as it’s own brand starting at $22,000! (A bit of an insult to recent livewire owners who paid full price)

Giovanni Di Cello I agree but I feel like we can improve this statement by saying that this is more generally an issue with cutting edge tech. The price to pay for early adopters. Electric vehicles have been around for a little while now but I don’t really feel like they’ve yet broken into the mainstream market and reaped the benefits of such. These things will probably be at least a bit cheaper once a larger mass production oriented supply line is established. At least I can hope, this bike looks like riding the future, just not a future that I can currently afford.

Ended up riding one of these at a Harley demo ride event, rode it last after a few other bikes throughout the day - I have to say even without it being on the fastest mode the acceleration was incredible. Felt much faster than any of the 114ci bikes, and was a ton of fun! Never thought I’d say that.

My BMW R1250RS has a 3.0s 0-60. It's neither a superbike nor a supercar, just a big twin with lots of torque. The LW S1 needs 120v @ 15a to charge, and while your generator is rated for 16.2a sustained, voltage will initially drop to around 100v before the motor steps up -- it's that lag the LW's power controller doesn't like so it throws the red light and says no.

Fun fact, I was talking to my dealer principal a few weeks ago, and he told me that the reason Harley Davidson is delivering these bikes to the house is because the Dealerships that want to sell these are being FORCED to buy a really expensive charging station. Since many dealerships are not making a lot of cash these days as compared to last few years, they are not interested in buying the charging station or Paying for electricity to not only charge the new bikes, but also charge the customers bikes, should they decide to stop by and charge their bikes. Plus, they don't see them being a huge sales item, so they don't want to invest in the charger.

My electric skateboard battery was estimated at “10 miles”. 15 is no problem as it maintains its speed down every decline with no throttle. It also is no problem to get it the first 10-15 miles of acceleration by pushing with my foot, which I’ve read is where a sizable portion of e-batteries waste energy. The battery is also instantly swappable and fairly light. It’s also very easy to upgrade components as better products hit the market, such as the Electronic Skate Control and the motors. The only problem is cracks/road hazards, wet/rain, and people in cars.

Harve de grace is beautiful, should have seen the promenade there, and port deposit is a cool historic place

Ebike is a good middle ground. Practical to get around town with and won't break the bank, only having as much speed and range as needed for most trips.

Amazing video, fun as usual and really informative. I love your video's, they really helped me learn more about all different bikes makes and models. I would love to one day come to your shop and meet you in person.

Great vids man keep up great job provide such happiness even in such distressing situation....👌👌👌 BTW you should make a learning stunts video....anyways vid ideas are pretty limited now so might as well and it would be a pretty lovely vid entertaining as well...

Never imagined an electric motor would be the reason Harley goes water cooled😂 love it!

Great idea on the treadmilll ... what about building a portal rear wheel roller that has pedals and you basically STATIONARY BIKE pedal to re-charge the battery in a emergency road side scenario.

You need a 3000 - 4000 watt invertor generator. Also you might have to pull straight from the battery if you wanted to power from it but definitely possible. What I want to know is the discharge rate of the battery

i like the point you made about the word "MOTOR CYCLE" and "ENGINE CYCLE" ahahahah I agree ahahaha

I'd love an electric bike. How much as I like my Versys the thought of driving efficiently, sustainable, fast and quiet is really good to me. I hope they start dropping in prices soon.

Very hard on lithium batteries to run them to “zero”. Especially new ones.

I can guarantee you that "0" on your run time is not 0 on battery life. Any none potential fire bomb electronic device prevents over discharge by design.

And a balloon in the spokes for that genuine Harley Davidson sound.

I own this motorcycle in Perth, Western Australia. The looks on peoples faces when you whizz past or do a full throttle overtake (in silence) with Harley jacket on too, is always amusing... The bike is an assortment of high quality parts from other manufacturers put together with a Harley badge on... I LOVE IT. Trouble is - charging infrastructure is poor in Western Australia..

Why would you want to commute with this thing in the city when you can use an E-Bicycle instead? You don't need a license, registration, plates or inspection. Don't have to look for parking, can use dedicated bicycle paths, can blow through lights without much trouble. You will literally get to your destination twice as fast on an E-bicycle.

@ALCLCF Not really. To get totally clear of an urban area and on some good twisty roads, it takes at least 50 highway miles to get there first. If you spend your whole day there, that will be an additional 100+ miles. With an E-Motorcycle, you will not have enough range for that.

Finally makes sense to have speakers on your bike now

Brother that's still the fastest 0-60 I've ever seen you do haha good job nice bike

I mean all regeneration is the future of space travel and this bike has all that! I'm impressed on a new level.
