I found some place that listed the stops, Hog Mag I think? Like you I was interested in just trying out the bike but I think the closest stop to the northeast was Maryland! Too far for me to go just to see / ride a demo bike.
"Rode" the stationary display Livewire at Dallas Motorcycle Show yesterday. (Not me in pic.)
Sport bike posture. Weighs about 450 pounds. "Electric motor" sound. Said to have 30-40 minute runtime. Recharge on deceleration. Interesting concept. Said to be 2-4 years from production.
I did, a few months back. It's a lot of fun - very light, more of a sport bike experience. Accelerates like a rocket. Definitely a different riding experience from the positioning to the feel of the bike to the torque and of course the sound. It's not something you'd want to tour with or go hundreds of miles, (not that it could, battery-wise, anyway), but as an around-towner or commuter it could be interesting. I've been keeping an open mind to it and really did enjoy the test ride, so we'll see if it ever becomes a reality and if so how it's positioned within the brand. Based upon the feedback that I've seen/heard, my guess is that it will be introduced at some point.
Tried it on for size at Sturgis last year - at 6'6" and 250+pounds, I made it look like a toy. Interesting bike, but I'd not want to ride it farther than around the parking lot.

Man the thing made you look huge by the way where's the double bitted Axe & Blue Babe?

From all the pictures I'm seeing with guys on it . It does look very small
