220+ range around town, 112 mile range at 70 mph! 150 mixed.
116 lb/ft of torque at zero rpm. 458 pounds. Full CVO torque in a bike that weighs 100+ pounds LESS than an 883 Sportster. Try to wrap your head around that.
Top speed 102 mph. 0-60...3.3 seconds for the more powerful model.
$2 for a full charge if you have the extra capacity battery, Less with the standard battery.
$19,400 with the extra capacity battery.
Here's the scary part...their brand new model is going to beat Harley by six months:
I said earlier in the thread - time to buy Zero stock. By comaprison the Zero is a bargain. I still wouldn't buy it. But I definitely would buy it over the HD.
"Kickstands up at 10:00 am sharp", next stop the nearest charging station with two chargers and we wait 6 hours to charge up and get back home.. Bikers don't buy these, suburban yuppies do.
So...whadaya do when you run out of charge? 'Cuz in the real world you will sooner or later. Your usual road is blocked by some emergency and you have to take teh long way home, gauge fails showing more reserve than you actually have, misjudge the mileage a trip will take, etc.
Time to call a flatbed? Ain't gonna hitch to the nearest station and carry a gallon of volts back in an old water bottle.
My woman's a REAL woman, and she won't use any of those newfangled labor-saving widgets. I send HER down to the stream with the lye soap and washboard!
on the new "livewire" section on here........... Q:.iam having trouble with my lights....A:its the battery..........Q iam having trouble with my brakes A: its the battery.............Q iam having trouble with the lights...A: its the battery............Q:My livewire just dies up a hill A: Its the battery !!!!!

A little planning should be able to avoid that situation. But you can always go to plan B, C, or even D. There are plenty of slow and fast chargers around at least in urban areas (Plan B), and any campground that services RV's can supply you with a 220V outlet (Plan C). And, just as a reminder, there are countless BILLIONS of slow charging stations almost anywhere there is civilization. They're called "wall receptacles" (Plan D). Ride safe!
