FIRST LOOK: 2019 Harley-Davidson LiveWire electric cruiser!

  • The 2019 Harley-Davidson LiveWire electric cruiser has been previewed to the public ahead of its official release due next year.

  • The brand’s first full-production electric motorcycle is one of many models that will be produced as part of their major evolution.

  • No specific details have been released regarding the production LiveWire yet.

There’s no doubt that 2019 will be a massive, MASSIVE year for American bike manufacturer, Harley-Davidson. This very iconic brand is set for a major evolution with the introduction of some very outstanding models like the Streetfighter, Pan America, and FXDR 114 to name a few.

A part of this major step in evolution is the Harley-Davidson LiveWire electric cruiser. First introduced back in 2014, the project has seen a lot of upgrades, updates, and additions to the whole concoction. Harley-Davidson’s most futuristic bike is finally ready for the last major step; production.

According to Paul James, Director of Programme Management of Harley-Davidson, “This is a big moment for us because our engineers have been working away on it for years and now they finally get to show it to the public. It’s kind of a relief in many ways. We’ve done so much work to move it on.”

Although the first-ever LiveWire was introduced a few years back, H-D is claiming that the final production bike is almost completely different from its origins where both performance and functionality is taken to a whole new level.

Some of these features include:

  • Smartphone connectivity via its full-colour TFT dash
  • High-end Brembo monoblock units
  • All-round fully-adjustable Showa suspension package
  • Fast-charging mode using the normal wall socket
  • Easy access to bike’s engine mapping and diagnostics
  • Twist and go transmission with step down gearbox

No other information has been released regarding the production 2019 Harley-Davidson LiveWire such as price, power, or torque but we’re confident that the true spirit of H-D will remain embedded in the bike’s DNA even if it’s an all-electric cruiser.
