    I've had mine here in Australia for 2 years and 11,000 kms from new. Fantastic. I've been riding for 62 years, yes since I was 5, and have owned 64 motorbikes. This is VERY unusual, but a ton of fun! When I go from, say my BMW R18 to this, I have no clutch or gear changes, no vibration, no sound, so you are deprived of many inputs that help you "know" where the bike is. In this regard, it's tricky and not to be messed with. The instant acceleration has to be treated with care!

    I brought it as a goal to keep me alive and to fight the cancers I've got. And mate even though it cost me $50000 AUD here down under, to me its worth every cent. Every time I ride it, I have a smile on my face. The sheer joy and quietness of the bike, it has rekindled my love of motorcycle riding. No matter what speed you are doing, you have always got more power at hand to get out of trouble if you need it. My old bike of almost 20 years vintage that I traded in on the Livewire had done only 20000 km in that time, the Livewire in just 4 weeks I've done 3900 km. ( And that's in winter here)
    Yes the range is slack if your tear-arsing on the freeways but who gives a f when it puts a smile on your face. And when you conquer the range by using regenerative braking to put more range in the bike like I did ( I had 127 km to nearest DC fast charger or 102 km to get home and I only had 86 km left on the range. 5 km from home the screen was showing 0% range and 0 km left and the bike got me home, I did not have to push it.) Man I felt 10 feet tall after that.

    Long distance touring with your mates would be a nightmare. For a 300 mile journey, You would be full on pies & coffee from each lengthy charge, your mates would be almost home again given the 2-3 charges you need. Would be a good work commuter, or shorter ride bike. Eventually the battery technology will be sufficient, but those charge times are the killer for me at the moment (not to mention the lack of charging points)

    • @AdventuresonZero

      Charging network is everything. I can easily do a 500+mile day on my LiveWire. Is it the same 500+ day as a petrol bike? No. The EV ownership and riding experience is very different from petrol - even though it's easy to compare the two.

But this new type of riding on a silent electric bike sounds definitely nice to me. I need to get to ride one of these. Maybe it's the only way to keep the roads open for motorcycle rides.

When I can get 200-250 miles from a charge, I'll be all for it. Also, the Damon looks super interesting and if that becomes a reality, I think I may prefer the looks of that.

It includes a stop at a nice little cafe in the country. Nowhere to charge there but half a dozen petrol stations on route.

    Great review. Harley is dropping the HD name, rebranding it as Livewire (the brand), and reselling it for 30% less, which is what it should have been from the get-go. It's a great bike, and on the money (when a third cheaper). It's not for everyone. But as Henry Ford said, when building the Model T - if I asked people want they want, they'd of said a faster horse. You can't stop progress, and EV is our future.

    I am lucky, I like petrol engines, their noise when moderate and switching gears, but also like the prospect of not having the noise, having to switch gears, checking oil. It won't be a sad transition for me. About that bike, still amazed that of the established manufacturers, it's HD that did it first (Zero is different, they're new) but maybe they feel the imparative for renewal the strongest.
    Such a balanced review too, I find Chris's keeps his views relevant despite his riding skills being uncomprehensible to the relative noob and that's whether he's thrashing on muddy trails on a scrambler or going round a track in racing leathers. Great great job.

      I'm a fellow Aussie and I too brought the H.D. Livewire. And I absolutely love it despite it costing me 50 grand AUD. But its paid me back in the smiles that are plastered on my face every time I ride it. I love the fact that it is very quiet when you are stopped in major traffic. It allows you to take in the scenery and also listen for the semi or car that is trying to do a emergency stop 3 car lengths behind you, so you can take evasive action. I also like the power it still has on hand, no matter what speed you are doing.
      I was going to have a look at the Zero company of fine electric motorcycles but like their name, a few years ago, they had zero confidence in the Aussie public buying their product and so they pissed off out of Australia and went back to the USA with their f'n tail between their legs. Its ironic, if they were still here, I may have brought one of their bikes instead of the Livewire.
      Anyway I too will not go back to a ICE motorcycle, I will stick with electric.

      @Doug dorbuck, The display module will give you turn directions on either the left or right side of the display, however won't show a traditional map navigational screen. The H-D Connect app has a feature that enables you to locate Level 3 chargers in a search area (similar to Plugshare or Zappmap), which will give you the normal smart phone navigation experience. I've found it comparable to most navigation apps - except it provides navigation to charge locations and point of interest navigation (ie google maps, Apple Maps, etc).
      The boys in Long Way Up used a combination of cell phone navigation and some Zumo 390 navigation elements.

    Best Livewire review I've watched. Now that the price has dropped down to around 21 grand I am seriously considering buying one. Mostly ride under 100 miles at a time anymore and surely am sick of the internal combustion engine and it myriad of parts that fail.

  • @heleti0000
    @heleti0000 2 роки тому

    A great bike but well ahead of meaningful supportive infrastructure. Basically have to double your travel time for any trips outside of the city (an hour ride for an hour delay charging) and your route is set by where you can charge it. I would have an electric bike if only I could use it the same way I use my current bike and I certainly can’t - yet.

    Im a petrol head myself but when I test rode one on their initial release I could not stop grinning and giggling in my helmet. Definitely made me change the way I thought of electric bikes. Now that they’re significantly cheaper hopefully they will sell a good amount of them. Priced where it should be. Right there with Zero’s flagship bike.

      Unless Zero converts back to Level 3 (they had a CHadEMO version a few years ago), then they'll be left in the dust in the coming years from a charging standpoint. Doesn't mean that Level 2 is going away, just a little more cumbersome at the moment. I had a Zero DSR with extra charging capabilities - I needed two Level 2 charging cables to take advantage of the extra charging power (Zero SR/F and /S mitigate this with premium tanks, however you need a Level 2 station that is 12kW or higher - somewhat rare at the moment). I switched to the LiveWire because the capabilities are so much simpler than with the Zero - I don't feel the need to slice'n'dice my LiveWire because it has all the features I was looking for as a stock unit. I modified my zero heavily to get it to the same performance/comfort level that my Livewire is at now.

      @@Shah_creates I had a 2017 DSR prior, and only test rode the SR/S. While the SR/S is certainly quick and sporty - it's still very much a Zero underneath. I found the riding style to be the biggest tactile difference to my DSR. The LiveWire is on a different level of enjoyment for me. When I test rode my LW, the only word I could keep thinking of was "premium, premium, premium". There are so many comfort features on the LW that were seriously lacking on my DSR. I have zero (no pun intended) regrets selling my DSR and getting the LW

    That's crazy.
    I expect my bikes to go 500,000km before I do anything to them.
    One of my bikes is a 1991 Goldwing 1500SE with 240,000km and I've done nothing buy wearable items. I expect it to outlive me.
