- Harley Davidson Livewire Review 2020
I feel like I've waited a very long time to finally get my hands on Livewire. I had the bike exclusively for the day and I can tell you it was a fun ride. Make sure you LIKE and share the review.

I am not a Harley Davidson fan never liked motorcycles. This bike changes my opinion about motorcycles. This is one awesome machine. I never liked the loud, smelly, vibrating bikes not for me but this thing looks like so much fun without the noise and pollution. I will own one some day.
I actually like it, and your review to me is totally honest, i would be interested in one if they improved the mileage capabilities. You seemed to enjoy yourself on it Mark!
Your enthusiasm is one of the main reasons i keep coming back to your channel
Interesting video, and I get the need to develop EV's, but a big part of the Harley riding experience is missing. The iconic sound and feel of a vtwin!!! I do wonder what market this is aimed at? Anyone know any younger riders with a £29k budget????
I’d own one,but for the price HD is asking for,I’ll stick with my 2019 Iron 883.
Finally! An automatic motorcycle thats actually cool. I would buy one tonight if I could afford. I've always wanted to own a motorcycle but do NOT whatsoever want to deal with shifting/throttles. I live in an insanely busy city so shifting is not something I want to ever deal with. Great review!
Plus its great for our environment! No fuel needed. I'm not a hippie fyi
So glad you're back. You make great videos.(I wanted to post this on your last video but comments were restricted for a while)
You’re back.... hold on.... gonna make myself a cup of tea... then watch it on the big screen!!!
I have 16 bikes..most harley and buells...have had a zero for 3 years...very good...I got a livewire 3 months ago ...it makes my zero feel a little cheap...actually I guess it was 14k less....but I dig the livewire..feels super powerful..handles well for the weight....ride true for yourself.
So it doesn't have a neutral, free roll. You have to always have your right hand on the throttle?
Early on in this ride, I noticed what appeared to be a hearse (casket limo) going in the opposite direction. If there's a person riding horizontally in the back, they were likely born in the mid-1930's when common internal combustion engines were only about 35 years along. Going by in the opposite direction from that person ... is another person on an advanced-tech electric vehicle with its spinning front wheel pointed firmly into the future. Makes me wonder about the techs we witness throughout our lifetimes. Since post-modern technology is speeding up ... what might be just over the horizon?
I think you do the best Harley ride reviews. Shame these are so expensive though, but as you say, its generation 1. Hopefully later ones will have better range and one day, price tag too. Thanks for posting.
Great review sir ! May your channel fly high !
Great review, love it as a second bike! BTW, you can change the brake regen from high, med, low and off...
I would love one, havent tried an electric bike yet but driven the BMW i3 and Mini Cooper S E and loved both of them i can see this being atleast as awesome as they are.
You don’t have to be at a dealer but any place with that type charger. Businesses, restaurants, etc are all putting in charge stations 😎😎
A masterclass in POV bike demo’, nice 👍
I love the look, and i expect to be impressed by the performance, but i won't bite until we get 200 mile range and 10 minute charge time.
And a small fraction of that price.
Absolutely agree with both comments.
Did you get to ride it in sport mode? Our test ride was locked in Touring Mode but it was still a rocket ship 😎😎
Changed it to sport mode 20 seconds after I started riding.
Motonewbrider I bet that was a blast. It was totally fast in Touring so I can only imagine in sport 😎😎
Not for me but I’ve been waiting for you to review this bike. Thanks and great job.
These are the first electric motorbikes I’ve really looked into. H D have been quite clever with these. First of all they are of course electric which is the way it’s all going and to be one of the first big brands to do it and the way they’ve chosen to style it is quite a clever way to market. The problem is the price. I don’t know how much the other big brands will charge for their bikes but it’ll probably be lower although I’m not sure on this. It’s interesting how they’ve ignored the cruiser styling and opted for a more street bike style to try to attract younger riders I think. Pretty clever IMO.
Damn! Your review was the best yet I’ve seen of this bike! The realest! 😆👍
We are only looking at this due to brand loyalty. When I bought my 2019 Fatboy I didnt once consider the Zero electric bikes already out in the market . Good luck to HD - I hope it’s a winner for them.. but realistically.. not for me or my generation ... we like noise and choppers...
My dad is the same way with his Harley Davidson Dyno Wide Glide. I never understood why there is some people who like noisy vehicles. No noise, No vibration, No exhaust is for me. The only thing that bothers me about this bike is the range I cant ride it to Miami Florida from Dallas Texas but these things will get better and I am ready for it.
I’ve never ridden a Harley. I’ve never ridden an electric bike.....just booked a demo ride. Very keen tbh.
Wasn't that you Phat-G shown in the newly released Harley Davidson video?
That's right. PhatG's just come back from the commercial.
Great bike, I will have a testride in a few weeks, too.
Thanks for this review. I want one, but that sticker price is a beast.
Good review, love the sound test. I get how Harley-Davidson is trying to stay current. Too pricey for what is. Not for me even if I could afford it.
Can't wait to get my hands on one for an hour the little Zeros are a blast ;-) Look at that mark the sheep can't hear you coming ;-) wellies at the ready, Cracking review see you out there ;-)
You commenters have no clue. It doesn’t cost $30k. I bought mine for $25 OTD with little negotiation. 3.99% for 60 months and ZERO DOWN with a score of 723. Free lifetime charging at all Harley dealers and 2 years at any other charging station. Don’t forget, you have $4700 in state and federal rebates which makes this bike around $20k OTD. Not counting FUEL SAVINGS!! Full charge in less than 1 hour enough time to stretch your legs and get something to eat/drink/chit chat. It cost me $2 for a full charge and it’s even less at home charging. And is this bike worth even $20k??? ABSOLUTELY!!!
I really enjoyed this video, thank you! Obviously the price is quite a burden... yet a Street Glide Special or Road Glide Special costs just as much. No one seems to complain about that. Just saying.
Is no one scared of the fact that your riding a silent bullet which no one in a car will hear! You know how many times the noise of my pipes has saved my ass
I know this is the way the world is going, and to be honest, i do like how it looks, but its just the lack of sound, i like to be heard as well as seen.
Teknologi sudah canggih,upgrade sikit power in and out untuk tambah kembali kuasa bateri supaya boleh pergi lebih jauh ataupun supaya tidak kehabisan ditengah jalan...OK?..menuju kejayaan kan?..kemudian kaji pula apa part yang selalu bermasaalah dan perlu ditukar agar mudah di jaga pengguna product masing²...next level,arah pemanduan jalan sama Malaysia bermakna jika kereta stearing sebelah kanan la kan?..mantap
I Bought my Yamaha XSR900 for $9000.
30 seconds to fill the tank with $15 of fuel with a 150 mile range and a 11.3sec Quarter mile time.
Engine needs rebuild about the same time as your car will.
I like the EV quite, no shifting and massive torque on demand at any time though.
Get the price WAY WAY DOWN and range up.
First!! All the way from Kansas city mo!!
Seems like anyone who has ridden a scooter, will feel right at home on this bike. Similar controls, but faster!!
Haha I was thinking the same thing.
Your red gloves clash with the orange trim😂 I’m still on the fence even after your excited review
Do you think you would ever own a electric version of Phat-G and maybe call it Phat-E ?.
Lol 🤟👍
Take $12k off the price, and I’ll consider one 🤔🤷♂️🤔
Someone is excited. 👍⚡
The only thing I'm not keen about electric bikes is the price and the second hand market. Batteries will die off and lose range and in 5 years from now the range will probably be half of what it is from new, which begs the question; How much will it cost to replace the batteries down the line?
That's the mammoth in the room no one wants to address.
Where'd you get those cool red gloves?
Bobhead uk
Nice bike, it is a bike, better than a poke in the eye.
But so much money, ,, like they don't want anyone to buy it, a good loaner while your own is being fixed perhaps...
Cool bike I guess....what about those gloves bro? Tell me more.
Gloves are from bobhead uk 👍
@@Motonewbrider do they have a website? Looking for a good pair that would complement my olive gold denim slim s.
@@lucasmakowski1939 yes they have. Just google search it 👍. Also if you input motonewbrider as the promo code you get 10% off your order.
Hang on one cotton picking freaking minute! According to Harley's own US website the Livewire in vivid black in the US costs $29,799. Yet this one here in the UK costs £28,995? At tme of writing this one US dollar got you 77p, that should be £23,092. Now, I don't for one micro second think the Livewire is worth the US price but it sure as HELL isn't worth the extra in the UK!
I love the livewire but the price is enormous. I mean 20k would be OK.
I appreciate the need for change and a new future but Not in my lifetime thanks.
What’s charge time at home ?
8-10 hours. DC Fast charge is 1 hour.
nice demo, but please stop slapping the camera lens
I love the sound and smell of combustion engines. But what really gives me a rush is performance. And I know this bike performs. It has better brakes, better power, and way better lean angle than any other harley. But at $30k I can guarantee I won’t be buying one new. I drive a $45k car. But I have a kid and a mortgage. there’s no way I can justify a $30k motorcycle. I’ll have to stick with my 2019 Harley 48 for a while yet.
Would buy a Zero before the Livewire, but even they are out of the price I would pay.
That you can afford you mean?
One Day i Will buy this motocycle!!!!
Personally I like it but I don't think it's a right move to the environment! The carbon footprint to produce a all eletrick Nissan leaf is at the moment 10.5 tons of CO2 a carbon footprint to produce a fiat Panda petron is 1.5 tons of CO2 so when the fiat is producing less then 100 grams of CO2 per mile so one have to drive for a very long time to catch up with the eletrick car before it even start driving. Plus sadly all the charging is not coming from clen energy source (wind or solar or nuclear) so U still polluting the environment!! Plus any longer ride is taking forever because of the long time of charging.
Now that is out of the way I like the this bike for looks and instant power but I will still keep my dead dinosaur burning Moto Guzzi! Keep up the good work and them videos coming!
_ AudaceRider all that talk about carbon footprint I was thinking this guy can’t be a biker... but then I see u ride a Guzzi!!! #metoo V9 Bobber
@@BigMoeFo lol well I was just trying to make a point but don't worry I'm a petrol head riding a Guzzi nice to met a fellow Guzzista! @audace_rider check my bike on insta if U on it send me yours always nice to appreciate another Guzzi!!
Wow,santeknyerrr...I like it,make it real for me and very loud piping ekzos sistem...next
I ride a Harley, and I say fuck a stupid electric bike, the reason we buy them is because they are badass, and LOUD!!!!
Heck yeah 👍
Nice Video :)
It's more rear control than mid.
I like it but man that price...
Great electric bike but while I've got the choice I, ll stick with petrol.
While riding it in your head are you going brum brum ..lol
The livewire is fun but the price tag is an issue and it's first of its kind, may be after years i might look into it. I don't like a motorcycle without clutch and gear shifting.. that's the fun part of the bike..when you take that away you are left with 70% fun i guess.
I am considering the purchase of a live wire.
Holy shyt, i want one :D
📝
I would feel vulnerable without any exhaust noise, I bet those car drivers had a fright when you blasted.... sorry hummed past them😄.
Car do not listen for bikes at anytime even if the pipe fell off.
It looks great and I like everything about it but the price is stupid
You did well to edit the speedo out ( most of the time 😉)
i like it
Neetoo 👍🏼
it looks good and looks like alot off fun bt tht squeekong its anoyng
oh my god, that sound tho . . it hurt my ears, jezz
29k
I would rather have a Chinese scooter !!! The front end is to light for all that zippiness !!! I would not last riding this bike, incredible power , should be renamed Thunder !!!
With no sound whilst the machine is in motion, it will become very hazardous on the insane U.K. excuses for roads.
That!! Is the start of the end of biking as we know it, the whole point of a harley is the note from the engine, god have mercy on our souls lol
I would buy one at £18,000. maximum price , beyond that it just isn't worth it , Boring Old_Fart makes a good point with USA$ price verses UK£ price
Looks fantastic. Goes like .. well better than the average Harley .. price is a joke .. range is pathetic and could have some kind of built in sound ..
the amount of people who just step out in front of my bicycle because they cannot hear it is a fair few .. step out in front of an electric motor bike and it won’t be pretty
No, just no. Harleys are meant to be heard.
Something like a fast £30,000 twist 'n go scooter. Nothing to do with why we choose to ride a Harley.
This thing will get you into serious trouble ...it needs noise and a flashing beacon
Nope. 30k for a bike will so little range? Zero has bigger range and cheaper. People who want electric motorbike do not care that there is HD on the tank and they will not pay that price.
Harley Davidson - stick to what you do best. Building the best V Twins. This is just total CRAP.
C'mon... this bike is dead on arrival. There are better electric options for less money. It is the same with electric cars trying to compete with Tesla
Electric bikes should be banned.
Cheaply put together junk.
