Interesting review. Still not for me. The faster you ride the faster the battery drains, combined with having to wait to charge. I’m just not willing to plan my riding around charging stations and time wasted to charge. Maybe someday, but not today

I'd love to see all the gas-powered support vehicles that made the endeavor possible. LOL
Do you have link to the story of the Livewire doing that??

Oh we get it. We just live in a country that for now, still affords us some choices.
It must be pretty lonely up there on your pedestal though.
This neanderthal sends hugs.

Outstanding review. Glad to see someone truly happy with his bike.
...
Of course, the reviewer isn't exactly a typical Harley customer, his first bike ever was a Zero. Then again, 15,000 miles on a LiveWire (or any 2020 bike) is no joke. The average miles a motorcycle in the US gets ridden is about 250 miles a month. So you ride your bike a lot, you're happy with it, and you're planning on keeping it, and you expect it will keep making you happy on into the future? Sounds like you're living the dream.

Motorcycling is about riding, and the joy that comes from riding, ain't it?
How one accomplishes that is up to the one trying to succeed at that.
Kudos to the OP for doing just that.

You have to love the early adopters of new technology, without you guys nothing would progress.
I have never ridden a Livewire but watched a guy redline one from a standing start.
Wow they go.
go.i watched your video a long time ago.
will watch it again. Well done.

Looks like Ben jumped into a bunch of negatives. But with Harley's first stab at it, seems they did a pretty good job.
It's coming. No doubt about it.
Good job Ben. If you ever stick your head back in here, make your next new post over in the new member welcome area to say hello.
