As the first step toward launching its all-electric LiveWire brand, Harley-Davidson is introducing LiveWire ONE, an updated version of its original LiveWire electric motorcycle, now priced at $21,999.
“As part of The Hardwire Strategy, we made a commitment that Harley-Davidson would lead in electric,” explained Jochen Zeitz, Chairman, President and CEO of Harley-Davidson. “We recognized the pioneering spirit and brand value in LiveWire for our community and took the decision to evolve the original LiveWire motorcycle into a dedicated EV brand.
“Today’s LiveWire ONE builds on the DNA of Harley-Davidson but with the electric focus and ambition of the new LiveWire brand,” Zeitz continued. “Harley-Davidson and LiveWire will continue to rewrite the motorcycle rulebook, and we are excited about this next chapter in our legacy.”
So what’s different about the ONE compared to the original LiveWire? H-D claims “evolved software and hardware.” The motor is rated at 105 horsepower and 86 lb-ft of torque, able to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.0 seconds. As previous, the bike has a 30-inch seat height and weighs 562 pounds.
The LiveWire ONE is now available to order at LiveWire.com or at select LiveWire dealers for $21,999, a considerably lower price than the bike’s former MSRP that pushed near the $30,000 threshold. H-D says the LiveWire ONE “delivers the best experience for the urban rider, with personality and soul.”
