Electric Harleys, as an important step for the Harley-Davidson brand to move into the electric field, not only inherit the classic design of Harleys, but also incorporate elements of modern technology. This article will introduce in detail the technical parameters, functional features and new riding experience of electric Harleys.
Technical parameters
Electric Harleys, especially the LiveWire model, are known for their excellent performance parameters. Here are some key technical parameters:
Acceleration performance: The LiveWire electric motorcycle can accelerate from 0 to 96km/h in just 3.5 seconds
Power system: The instant torque provided by the H-D Revelation™ electric powertrain can generate 100% of the rated torque at the moment of throttle twisting and always maintain a torque level of 100%
Battery and range: The battery capacity of LiveWire is 15.5kWh, the available power is 13.6kWh, and the estimated driving range per charge is 110 miles (about 177 kilometers)
Maximum horsepower and torque: LiveWire has a maximum horsepower of 105hp (78kW) and a maximum torque of 114 N·m.
Dimensions and weight: LiveWire is 2135mm long, 830mm wide, 1080mm high, 761mm seat height (780mm unloaded), and 249kg curb weight.
Functional features
Electric Harleys not only have breakthroughs in performance, but their functional features also reflect Harley’s deep understanding of modern riding needs:
Simplified operation: Electric engines do not require clutching or shifting, which simplifies the difficulty of riding operations.
Kinetic energy recovery system: In urban traffic, riders can use the kinetic energy recovery system to increase the battery power.
Reverse function: Some electric Harleys have three forward gears and a unique reverse gear function for easy operation.
Special tires: Harley-specific tires are used, with a width of 9cm, strong grip, and a very stable ride. They use vacuum run-proof tires.
Front and rear double shock absorbers: The shock absorption effect is very obvious, providing a good riding experience.
Hidden battery: The battery is hidden under the pedal, and there is a battery anti-collision bumper in front to prevent the battery from colliding when the road conditions are bad.
Riding experience
The riding experience of electric Harley bikes is different from that of traditional Harley, but it still retains the classic elements of Harley:
Acceleration experience: LiveWire’s acceleration is very linear and tolerant. Unlike the traditional 140-horsepower “rude street beast” Aprilia Tuono 1000R, Harley LiveWire’s feedback is very natural.
Sound change: The sound of electric Harley bikes when accelerating is higher and sharper, which is different from the rumbling and deafening roar of traditional Harley.
Control experience: The frame of Harley Serial 1 bicycle is made of aluminum alloy, with a wire routing design inside the wire tube, and the brake is a hydraulic disc brake like motorcycles and cars, providing a good control experience.
In summary, electric Harley bikes provide a new choice for Harley enthusiasts with their excellent performance parameters, unique functional characteristics and a new riding experience. With the continuous development of electric technology, electric Harleys will undoubtedly become a new trend in future riding.
