Big thanks to LiveWire for the opportunity to test ride the ONE. It was a blast and I was left feeling impressed! Also, I want to give a HUGE thanks to the team over at Rich Rebuilds. I wrote and asked if I could use a clip of one of their videos and they not only wrote back very quickly, but they said YES! They have over a million subscribers and took time out of their schedule for me. Thanks a lot! Go do yourself a favor and check out their channel, you won’t regret it! @RichRebuilds
*NOTE* A viewer let me know that I was wrong about what the tax credit does. A tax credit reduces your actual tax owed, versus reducing your taxable income, as I had said in the video. Thanks to the viewer who set me straight on that fact! :)

Im a bit scared to go into the bike hobby but i want to join some friends and family. And your videos help me get a better understanding of how things work
You mispoke about the tax credit. What you described is a "deduction". A credit is a
It resembles my first ride experience on an Energica.
Thank you for explaining the tax credit now I know how tax credit works👍🏾
I own a 2022 Zero SR/S. I work 50 miles from. At 65 mph I can get to work and back on a single charge, and have about 20% battery left. I can get about 130-150 miles range if I’m driving on the 20 / 210 or 60 freeway in SoCal. It supports level 1 & 2 charging. Level 1 chargers from 13% to fully charge, yaks about 8 hours. Level 2 charging, about 3 1/2 hours. I did buy it due to the cost of fuel. I was spending about $600 in full with my other bike (2014 Yamaha Stryker) the price was 23K. With the payment, I’m still saving $200 a month. My electric bill increased about 45 a month. So over all monthly savings is about $160. Insurance was interesting. Had to insure it for the value, since my insurance company doesn’t have a plan for electric. All and all, I’m happy with it. Due to the free downloadable upgrades, I got 10% extended range (110% battery vs 100%), 10% faster charging and reverse which they call Parking Mode (super handy). The two main reasons why I didn’t choose the Livewire, range and Harley hasn’t had the best rep in a while. All my buddies own Harley’s and they’ve all had major issues, even the newer bikes. The quality went down, and was afraid of their rep mixed with being new to electric. So I chose a company which has been in the electric game for a cool minute and worked out the bugs. I’m still interested in the Livewire. I’m not a fan of the riding position of the Zero nor their hard seat (my butt still hurts after 15 months of riding it.) I do like the level 3 charging ability of the Livewire, but I didn’t buy the Zero for fun, just a replacement for a commuter bike. For long rides, I have my Stryker (which has the most comfortable riding position and seat I’ve sat on yet).
I ride a H-D Ultra. My son-in-law bought a Zero that I rode around SoCal. Then I tested a LiveWire at my local dealer. What a fun ride! I took me about 3 minutes to learn the re-gen braking. Due to age, health and riding requirements now, I am seriousely considering trading my touring bike for a LiveWire. Of concern is no level-2 charging; lack of luggage rack. Ben Marshall produce several good videos on getting the most out of LiveWire.
Great to catch up and a nice surprise to hear from your part of the world and from a more experienced vlogger. Nice work, I'll view more!
I meet someone complaining of the gas mileage of his bike. He was only getting 16 mpg. He had a boss hoss
I rode Project Livewire back in 2015.
Great video. Thanks.
Thanks for watching! If you'd like to support the channel and help me grow it, please do SUBSCRIBE! I'd really appreciate it!
Very cool. I’m liking the Del Mar.
I’m thinking about taking a test ride on a LiveWire One. For commuting would be rather nice but I’d need bags of some sort for my kit.
I sat on a Live wire once. Way too sporty seating position for me.
Sweet! I dig these test drive videos. Are you at all concerned with how quiet they are? As a regular motorist, it’s one concern I have as they can be hard to see already. Anyways, just something I’ve wondered from someone who actually rides them.
As the battery power level drops is there a corresponding drop in the horsepower and torque? I have an ebike and that is the case with it.
looks good in liquid black:)
No level 2 charging was a big mistake. Level 3 is really hard on the battery pack. Should only be used for long trips. Not everyday charging.
good thing about electric is less shifting....less complicated when they recommend staying on 1st gear when on red light
This is certainly a bike I'd like to own. Unfortunately, the price is the same of a Ducati Diavel 1260S. I find it hard to pass on the Diavel, if I had to choose...
