Harley Davidson spin off EV company; LiveWire have now set up a dealership network across some countries in Europe to start selling their LiveWire One motorcycle…formerly the H-D LiveWire.
The motorcycle will be available in the UK, Germany, Holland and France with the UK price at £22,990 and a £100 reservation fee for deliveries to start after April.
LiveWire claim to have set up over 30 dealerships and service centres specifically tailored towards selling and servicing the LiveWire One EV bike with colours coming in with Nimbus Gray, Nightfall Blue and Liquid Black.
Of course for those in the know, LiveWire One is not a new story however it had not been made readily available in the new livery in Europe until now. But how did they set up over 30 brand new dealerships for the bike?…Well it will come as no surprise they didn’t. Instead quite logically they have piggy backed onto the H-D dealerships.
For the UK, the locations are: H-D Warrs Kings Rd London, Guildford, Sykes, Watford, Leeds, Glasgow, Belfast, Gateshead, Sycamore and Wolverhampton.
The LiveWire has impressive performance figures; 0-60mph in 3secs, DC fast charging in 60minutes, Cornering ABS, Drag Torque Slip Control, Cornering Enhanced Traction Control
It comes in five rider modes; Sport, Road, Range, Rain & Custom with each giving different performance profiles for Regen, Power and Throttle.
