What are the differences in driving experience between Harley electric and traditional Harley?
There are some significant differences in driving experience between Harley electric (LiveWire) and traditional Harley motorcycles, which are not only reflected in the power system, but also in many aspects such as handling, comfort and technological configuration.

Differences in power system
Harley electric uses an electric power system, which means that it is fundamentally different from the power output of traditional internal combustion engine-driven Harley motorcycles. The torque output of electric vehicles is almost instant, which allows LiveWire to provide a rapid push back feeling when accelerating, which is completely different from the acceleration experience of traditional Harley. At the same time, electric vehicles are quieter and lack the roar of traditional Harley motorcycles, which is a brand new experience for riders who are accustomed to the sound of internal combustion engines.

Handling and comfort
Harley electric vehicles are also different in handling. Due to the layout of the battery and motor of the electric vehicle, LiveWire has a lower center of gravity, which helps improve the stability and handling of the vehicle. In addition, the suspension tuning of electric vehicles may be different from that of traditional Harleys. LiveWire’s suspension is stiffer, which makes it more direct when dealing with bumpy roads. At the same time, since electric vehicles do not have a clutch and shift mechanism, riders can focus more on the road and control when driving, which simplifies the driving process.

Differences in technological configurations
Harley electric vehicles are more advanced in terms of technological configuration. LiveWire is equipped with a full LCD instrument touch screen TFT display, which can provide rich information and support touch operation. In addition, LiveWire also has a variety of riding modes, including sports, road, rain and normal modes, which riders can choose according to different road conditions and personal preferences. These technological configurations are not common on traditional Harley motorcycles.

Battery life and charging
The battery life of Harley electric vehicles is different from that of traditional Harley motorcycles. The battery life of electric vehicles is limited by the battery capacity. The cruising range of LiveWire is about 150 kilometers in the city/highway, which may be necessary for riders who are accustomed to the long battery life of internal combustion engine motorcycles. At the same time, electric vehicles need to be charged regularly, which is different from the refueling method of traditional Harley motorcycles, and riders need to plan a charging strategy.

Conclusion
In general, Harley electric vehicles provide a brand new feeling in driving experience, which combines the traditional elements of the Harley brand with the modern technology of electric vehicles. Although electric vehicles are different from traditional Harleys in some aspects, such as power output and handling, these differences also bring new riding pleasure and experience to riders. With the development of electric vehicle technology, we can foresee that Harley electric vehicles will occupy a place in the future motorcycle market.
