The Livewire offers a connectivity service which is called H-D Connect Service – you can connect remotely through your smartphone, check bike battery, see the location on the map, see if it’s been bumped or moved. The H-D Connect will be free of charge for the first year, but after that there will be a subscription fee.
The Harley-Davidson Livewire will feature three color options – Yellow Fuse, Orange Fuse and vivid black.
The engine is located below the battery to lower the centre of gravity and the frame is made of aluminium. The suspension is provided by Showa and it’s fully adjustable and the Michelin tires 180 mm rear and 120 mm front were designed by Michelin for this bike.
The 10.9 cm full-color dash can show you the music, turn-by-turn navigation and more. Of course, Harley-Davidson provides a lot of accessories for the new Livewire.
