I think the Cycle World interview/article was better. http://www.cycleworld.com/2014/06/19/harley-davidson-livewir... IMHO - the styling is really where this wins. They seem to be shooting for a different sound than a traditional electric bike, but I'm not hearing it - perhaps it sounds better "in person". Quicker acceleration is not as large an issue as you might think as motorcycles already accelerate quite quickly (even 600-class bikes require careful throttle modulation to prevent wheelspin). There aren't a lot of competitors in this space (Zero, Brammo), so it's a good time for H-D to throw their hat into the ring. |
