Harley-Davidson LiveWire Review and Ride

Nate Beck brings us a Harley-Davidson LiveWire Review and Ride. 2019 saw the release of one of the most controversial Harley-Davidsons to ever be put into production: the LiveWire. First unveiled in 2014, the Harley-Davidson LiveWire left the rumbling V-Twin behind and blazed its own path as Harley entered the electric motorcycle sector.

While it took five years from unveiling until hitting dealerships, it didn’t seem like much progress happened in those five years. Burdened with problems such as limited range, high price tag, and limited service opportunities as most dealerships did not send their techs to HDU to become equipped to work on them, HD struggled to move units. This eventually led to CEO Matt Levatich stepping down and Jochen Zeitz taking the helm. Since Jochen’s term as CEO began in 2020, Harley spun off LiveWire into its own brand, leaving the HD badges behind, and cut the price by 33%.

During this LiveWire review, Nate will talk about HD, the motorcycle, and of course the ride.
