To be fair I didn't say new full size pickup. but still far too much money for something that is going to be considered a novelty in the market

 

$30K when you can buy a Zero for a 1/3rd less and get twice the range, I'll pass. For $30K it should be a bagger.

 

I am thinking Prius drivers will want one to complete the set.

 

Under-powered, under-featured, and 'way overpriced considering what else is out there in the EV motorcycle market (Energica and Zero come to mind). I can get one of these:

Yes, a hair less range with the stock battery pack, but faster charging time, luggage bags, lots of options, and $8K less MSRP. And I didn't even check the Zero, another hot bike with great specs. Other than the "branding" why would anyone buy a Livewire? Both Energica and Zero are growing companies with good financials and an expanding dealer network-they're not going anywhere soon, and it seems that they're going to eat the MoCo's lunch. Time will tell...

I'm in the market for an e-Bike in the next 12 months, but I can guarantee it won't be a Harley-sorry, MoCo.

 

These dufuses running HD are a real trip.Totally out-to-lunch.

 

Yup, a lighter, faster accelerating, higher top end, longer range, more featured Zero is $19K. Really. And, stunningly, Zero just announced a brand new model that will debut in August, when Harley is just starting to "take deposits" on the Livewire.

Except Prius drivers wouldn't be caught dead in a Harley dealership. And that's the kicker...HD management is counting on bringing in new Harley customers from a customer group that wants no part of Harley.

If greenie, eco-friendly, environment friendly, low-carbon-footprint millennials want an electric motorcycle, they're gonna buy a Zero.

 

I think we are in agreement.

Although there is a company selling an electric bicycle for $40,000, so they must think someone wants the overpriced toys.

I like the way it looks but it's certainly not for me.

 

 

I had already softened up the better half to expect a new electric bike in the garage. After seeing the stats and price, no more softening will be needed, gonna pass.

If it was 20 grand and went 170 miles on a charge....I'd pick one up tomorrow.

Out here in Cali, the electric motorcycles already released get just a 900 rebate from the state. Not sure about the Fed.
