In a number of weeks Harley-Davidson plans to unveil its latest electric motorcycle model. Now some newly revealed particulars point out that the bike being unveiled on July eighth might be generally known as the LiveWire One and we’re already attending to see some early energy specs.
The upcoming electrical motorbike would be the first mannequin launch beneath the brand new LiveWire brand.
H-D not too long ago spun off LiveWire as its personal all-electric motorbike model, as an alternative of continuining to badge its upcoming electrical bikes with the standard bar-and-shield Harley branding.
The small print of the subsequent thriller e-bike have been the topic of a lot hypothesis, and we covered the five most likely options.
Now a VIN submitting by Harley-Davidson is shedding early gentle on the upcoming motorbike.
The identify of the bike will apparently be the LiveWire One. That retains in theme with H-D’s first motorbike, the Mannequin 1, in addition to the company’s electric bicycle spinoff, Serial 1.
Curiously, the VIN submitting already reveals the bike’s energy degree of 75 kW.
That may put the bike suspiciously near the 78 kW energy ranking of the current 2021 Harley-Davidson LiveWire electric motorcycle.
We additionally realized from the VIN submitting that the LiveWire One might be a 2021 mannequin car, arriving late within the mannequin 12 months.
Someway these particulars appear to create extra questions than they reply.
With the ability ranking being so shut that of the unique Harley-Davidson LiveWire, might this merely be a rebadging of the unique bike beneath the brand new LiveWire identify – doubtlessly with a number of small tweaks?
Might it’s a brand new bike constructed across the similar Revelation electrical motor?
Might be one thing fully new?
The primary two are extra probably than the third, however at this level something is feasible.
When we previously discussed the most likely options for what type of motorcycle we’d see at the LiveWire unveiling, we knew {that a} rebadged H-D LiveWire was a risk. But it surely was additionally probably the most boring risk, contemplating the truth that Harley-Davidson had beforehand floated several interesting prototype electric motorcycles of varying power levels.
Such a rebadging stands out as the most secure transfer for H-D, rapidly getting the brand new model’s first mannequin out on the highway whereas the corporate continues work on its different prototype designs.
With 75 kW of energy within the upcoming LiveWire One, it’s unlikely that any of these prototypes might be ready for us beneath the satin sheet. That’s merely extra energy than any of them gave the impression to be able to, even the interesting flat tracker model.
To make sure although, we’ll have to attend a number of extra weeks till the disclosing.
