They are a ton of fun to ride. Acceleration is insane. 0-60 in 3 seconds.

I don't know if I would use the word "insane". Three seconds puts it in the same class as a lot of all-day comfortable touring bikes: FJR1300, Concours, R1200RT, R1200GS, Bandit 1250.

One needs to remember what all day means on a LiveWire. You can go around 75 mile to 100 miles then you need a Fast Charging station where you can sit and wait for an hour or so then you will need to do this again each 75 - 100 miles and make sure you have enough charge to get it returned! I've got better use for a day and a few hundred bucks.
When the demo truck was there I probably could have got as many miles on the Livewire as if I had rented it for a day.
But I guess with the rental it would be fun to try and make a route that went in a big circle past Fast DC chargers, ride for an hour, plug it in for an hour and snooze next to it, repeat for 24 hrs and see how far you can go. An electric iron butt challenge.

Maybe I'll see f I can borrow it and be the second to do one

The computer on the Livewire does the work for you. Just twist your wrist.
So I can actually do 0-60 on a live wire in 3 seconds where I can't on a fjr1300

It's a real easy 0-60 in 3 seconds. All those other bikes can do it with a professional rider or well trained drag racer. You have to get a good launch and perfect shift.
