It’s a hog on a diet.
Harley-Davidson announced Monday at CES that its all-electric motorcycle, the LiveWire, is now officially available for pre-order. It starts at $29,799 and will begin shipping in August.
The iconic motorcycle company first introduced the LiveWire in 2014, but it had been more of a flashy concept than a reality until last year. In 2015, it appeared on screen as the steed of Scarlett Johansson’s Avengers character Black Widow. And, finally, in the company’s January 2018 earnings call, it confirmed that the bike would ship in the next 18 months — which now appears to be right on schedule. Read more…

Harley Davidson released new specs for its electric motorcycle and pulled the covers off the concept designs for its electric bicycle and scooter as the company’s push into electrifying its product line continues.
And the company showed that going electric doesn’t mean losing any of the muscle that’s intrinsic to the Harley Davidson chrome-wheeled, fuel-injected brand. In fact, the 2019 EV debut can out-accelerate any of the company’s gas motorcycles, according to specs released today at CES.

It’s been a four-year wait since Harley-Davidson first showed off a concept electric motorcycle. Now, the production-ready bike — called the Harley-Davidson LiveWire — is finally here. Well, almost. The Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based company unveiled the production-ready electric motorcycle Tuesday at the EICMA motorcycle show in Italy. It won’t be available, though, until next year. Harley […]

With more failures in the electric motorcycle industry than going concerns and a contracting American motorcycle market, now would seem to be an odd time to launch a new bike into the EV arena. But Tarform, a new startup that unveiled its first vehicle last month in Brooklyn, is undeterred. That’s despite the fact that the […]

Go big or go extravagant.
That’s the philosophy behind the Harley-Davidson jewel-encrusted motorcycle from Swiss watch maker and jeweler Bucherer. The custom-built Blue Edition bike took 2,500 hours to put together. It’s basically an extreme version of the company’s Blue Edition watch series.
It’s truly almost too much to take in. It has 360 diamonds throughout. It features a diamond ring — a diamond band encircling a 5.40-carat diamond — and watch on display under glass domes. And every screw is plated with rose gold. The cowhide saddle is handmade. On top of all that, the engine compartment lights up in blue. The frame, rims, and gearbox match with an iridescent blue coat of paint. Read more…

The sleek motorcycle Scarlett Johansson’s character Black Widow used to maneuver through traffic in the 2015 Avengers movie will soon be available for non-superheroes.
Harley-Davidson, known for its American-made motorcycles, is expanding into all-electric vehicles with its first e-bike expected to hit the road in the next 18 months.
In an earnings call earlier this week, Harley-Davidson outlined plans for its Project LiveWire electric motorcycle to go from prototype to real deal. That’s an electric motor — no gas. The LiveWire concept launched in 2014 and went from zero to 60 mph in four seconds. Read more…
