Electric Harley-Davidson motorcycle was more powerful than expected
Source:
In 2018, in the framework of the Italian exhibition EICMA, Harley-Davidson unveiled its first electric motorcycle LiveWire. Although its mass market launch is planned for September 2019, about him until now little was known. Finally, at the Geneva motor show, the company began to uncover the veil of mystery on a premium motorcycle. The manufacturer conducted a new series of tests that proved that the new product will be much faster and more reliable than previously thought.
Initially it was thought that on a single charge the bike can travel about 177 kilometers. A new rating range of drive test SAE J2982 showed that the figure will be more impressive and will be as much as 225 miles. In addition, the company revealed a mixed rating-range for driving on highway and city — 142 miles.
Potential buyers are also interested in how quickly the bike will recharge the battery. The novelty supports charging of the third level, which provides the replenishment energy for the minimum time due to the increased power. So charge the battery up to 80% can be reached in 40 minutes and to 100% for one hour.
The Previous information also said that the motorcycle can accelerate to 100 km/h in 3 seconds. In fact, it was much better — the acceleration time is only 1.9 seconds. With all this, the company did not disclose any information about engine power, nor torque. Most likely, all this will become known closer to the fall.
The Value of the Harley-Davidson LiveWire will be about $ 30,000. At that price, companies need to think seriously about the exclusive features of the product, as competitors are already offering similar motorcycles at more attractive prices. For example, electric motorcycle Zero also charged to 100% in one hour, and accelerates to 200 km/h. At the same time he is not more than $ 20,000.
