@@6969stripper off Amazon. It is a joe rocket
It doesn't have a engine it runs on kilowatts I have found a loophole in the system
I am wondering if the one Club can pass a bill with there Lawyer on Brothers that want to ride and never got a license to ride because the State of CT won't allow a motorcycle license by itself if a electric Motorcycle from Harley Davidson has a electric Bike it doesn't run on CCs it runs on kilowatts
I like the bike, my only concern is that cars now definitely won’t hear you and that makes me nervous.
Yes that is a valid concern for sure
I didn’t even think of that, great point!
I agree.
Vehicle manufacturers should implement motion sensors and birds eye view to avoid those concerns.
We used to say "Loud Pipes Saves Lives"
This is my concern with all electric vehicles, not just bikes. Teslas are nearly silent, and I've had a number of near misses with those electric scooters the food delivery guys use. The manufacturers could come up with some nice ambient sounds to put under the hood.
Too bad that the guide kind of destroyed the silence of the e-bike :(
Yea I was thinking the same thing while riding. Remove that and it would have been crazy quiet
No no,,,thay need to somehow add that sound to the e-bike. Silence isn't always Golden. What you heard in front of you is like music to those of us who ride HD.
Lol thats the reason i could watch this vid. Who needs a silent HD 🤣
@@Me-xy3jh You could always tape a piece of cardboard to make smacking sounds against the wheel spokes.
30000 way too much. I guess I'll wait a few years when more of them start to come out
Personally, I’d prefer my killer to hear something more than just my final squeaks.
🤣🤣🤣
According to the HD site, it quick charges in just one hour. Overnight on a regular house outlet. So not too bad really. Actually fact he was on a gas Harley was nice as you could compare the noises his made vs yours. Enjoyed the review/ride. Thanks.
Yea the quick charge is a nice option but they told me it is not recommended often because the wear and tear on the battery. Thank you very much. And thanks for the feedback!
Amazing a quick charge in just 60 minutes, could you imagine if people started putting gasoline in motorcycle’s?
Why one could fill the tank in just 44.8 seconds, what’s next antigravity cat’s?
Harley's sales target is a generation that can't afford the retail price.
I'm in that generation and I wouldn't pay that much for this bike. It was nice but not 30k nice but that is my opinion. Harley makes great bikes but this one was overpriced considering options you can get on gas models
God you dudes never shut up lol, a sportster is $8000 on the low end
@@twowheelsclubseals Harley has come a long way with reliabilty. The Sportster 883 still uses the same old push rod, cast iron and vibrating technology. I have enjoyed the reliability and smooth ride of Honda's for 36 years. I would never go back to Harley. Lately I'm looking to downsize to a Sportster type Bobber. Take a look at the Yamaha bolt. I personally prefer that bike over a Sportster and will probably buy one.
@@textech4056 i own a triumph, happy enough with the performance, i still consider harley a higher quality machine
I'd like to ride one... but buying one absolutely Not.. $30,000+ no sound. way over priced.
could be 3 S1000RR's for that....Definitely WAYYYY over priced
It's definitely built for urban areas that have high-speed chargers readily available. 40 minutes on a level 3 charger. A Livewire rider rode from Mexico to Canada on the west coast using level 3 chargers.
That's the way to go then for sure. On the east coast there are as many chargers available close enough to justify this purchase to me. But it is a super awesome bike
I live in Vermont where there are like 2 charging stations lol
@@crypto_creep8222 oh you would be in a tough spot but they do charge off a wall socket as well
IMO, this bike has no strong sell point. It has no sound, its absolutely not capable of long trips, its good for the city, but its WAAAAAY too expensive for a city only bike.
@@justrandomstuff84 literally no point of buying a Harley with no V Twin noise....i had a Sportster a few years back, pretty unreliable bike, but the noise is heavenly. The only electric two wheeler i'd buy is an electric bicycle.
Ohw so nice let’s do the Route 66 Ohw no I have to charge my bike now I reach the 147 miles wait for me me guys I’m ready to go after 8 hours see you next weekend on our final destination lolllllll.
🤣🤣🤷♂️
Charges to 80% in 40 minutes.
@@albudynski2408 and the dealership doesn't not recommend fast charge unless absolutely necessary. Standard charge takes 6 to 8 hours.
@@tat2wheelz Because dealers don't want to sell this just like Chevy dealers don't want to sell Bolts. They see the writing on the wall. Parts and service revenues for electric vehicles suck for dealerships. Once you find out that you can charge for 2 hours of riding in 40 minutes, the only barrier to buying a Livewire is the price.
I love my new Livewire. Can't decide if I should go with the D&D Boarzilla, the Thunder header, or the Bassani.
🤣🤣
My question is since it has no ccs do you need a motorcycle license to own one
Yes. It is still built and titled as a motorcycle therefore requiring the same endorsement as its gas counterpart
@@tat2wheelz wow ok thanks for the info
@@joshlanzer9571 no problem
does it come with a box of tampons?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Power isn't everything. Personally I want drivers to HEAR ME before they kill me .
Statistics show that most motorcycle accidents are due to drivers of larger vehicles not paying attention. Over 90% of motorcycles on the road are ICE. Do you honestly think the sound of ICE makes that much of a difference when statistics show otherwise? Same applies to bicycle accidents. These statistics wont improve until autonomous driving automobiles becomes the standard.
I want one but not for $30k. Missed the price point 👌
Absolutely they did
What the hell is the point? No sound.. no clutch.. no gas.. for $30k.. This is America right?
😂😂
Go Green Harley Brother 👍
If you want it to make noise just roar like the bike is making the noise Lol
Hahahaha
*Rides Harley Livewire*
"You definitely should ride this thing"
*has silent anxiety attack from 0-60 in 3 seconds*
"Yeah this is a good bike"
The rider's face as he says these things:😬
😂😂😂
The face you make trying not to crap yourself in total silence.
This crap and pricing is why Harley is dying.
I can see that point
This crap and pricing? What is crap about the bike? Top notch technology not found in cheap electric bikes.
@@vulcanman64 what's crap about that bike is the $30,000 price tag put on it by a anti working class company like Harley-Davidson. Trying to make itself a boutique brand you can have it you dirty rotten piece of s*** it's a piece of crap bike and overpriced at 30,000.
$30k...no way. I'm sure it's cool but that price tag is gonna kill that bike.
You said it has "All the power you would want." Pardon me but it only goes 110mph Lol, even my 2004 FXD Superglide goes faster than that. I'm 60 y/o old and been riding HD for 40 years. They tryin to slow us down? Haha
0 to 60 in 3 seconds is what I meant. Thats insane for any bike!
@@tat2wheelz 0 to 60 in less than 3 seconds on my Yamaha I paid $2,500 for. F*** Harley-Davidson overpriced piece of crap
Good choice for your first Harley and first electric bike!
HD is moving the right way
Haha since this bike was pulled from production I would agree 👍
@@tat2wheelz pulled ?
@@weirdgamer407 they have halted production on the livewire here stateside
@@tat2wheelz ☹️
THE WORD UNIQUE WORKS !
IM GONNA! 🤔👍👌
It's Awesome 👍 Bike without a engine I found a loophole around the system
I wouldn’t mind owning one, but NOT for 30k 😑... whats the range on this thing?
147 mile range around town. Mountain roads around 95 miles
I just fell off my couch in shock,here in New Zealand they are advertising these things for 53,995 I could pick up a r1m1 for 35 k it doesn't make sense to me
Are they advertising the USD price there? Either way that is very over priced!
@@tat2wheelz that's nothing,they are asking 59,995 for the cvo h-d 2020 model it's just insane,something is terribly wrong somewhere
That’s cute, it sounds like a scooter on the highway....🛴
Bike should cost 15k, even then that's a stretch for my 20 year old generation
You Really need to see this Video! "HD Livewire Deathtrap"
I love this motorbike
I love all bikes but this one was definitely different. All together different experience
$30k for a bike that'll only reach 147miles on a single charge? And then it needs up to 6/8 hours for charge? Talk about a grocery go gitter for a motorcycle. Honestly kinda ruins the purpose of Harley Davidson for me😬
Kinda my thoughts exactly. I mean it is a cool bike but at those levels at that price it is just not for me
@@tat2wheelz honestly though. You'd think they'd make the bike with better mileage
@@tennessee2164 yea I was surprised to learn it was that short. And they even said that curvey roads would bring that range down to 100 miles. 🤦♂️
@@tat2wheelz thats some bullshit right there man
A silent bike is just not a good idea. I appreciate the idea but it’s not safe. Period. Especially if you intend on riding in or around any city.
Yes!...no more loud obnoxious harleys!!!
🤣🤣🤣
OMG, I.... Do NOT want to pay $$$ 20k + for a electric scooter. There are some things Harley Davidson should not do and this is one of them.
So I made (HD) powdered water yesterday.... I just had to add water.
$30,000 for electric motorcycle leave it to Harley-Davidson to out price their product again. I suppose they're going to force tariffs on anybody else making electric motorcycles so they can can eat just like they did in the 80s with our 750s. Harley-Davidson is a joke company and an anti-American company at that. Brand loyalty brought that company down people bought anything they put out even junk which it all turned out to be. Now they're going to charge $30,000 for an electric motorcycle. Are they f****** crazy. I guess they just want rich people buying their products. Forget about the working-class and made them what they are. F*** Harley-Davidson.
The bike is cool but I want to know what jacket you are rocking', what brand is that???
www.amazon.com/dp/B0016OKN2O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_TEdNFbHC1ASVH?psc=1
There is a link to the jacket.
30g for a bike that can travel 147 MAX and SIX TO EIGHT HOUR CHARGE TIME?! Oh no.
My thoughts exactly. Cool bike and better for around town commuting but for what we do it is not the bike for us
charges to 80% in 40 minutes!
Do they not have audio systems ?
Not that I was made aware of
Won’t break as much as a gas Harley, my 412 fatty cost me 20k n it’s always fucked up
Hell it may break more who knows lol
@@tat2wheelz true never know but I’d rock this thing if there was a way to get like a swappable battery for more range
@@AUTOFLOWERMADNESS They need to do something to get more range on those bikes for sure
Only a 147 mile range and then a 6 to 8 hour full charge? No thanks. Lots of $$$$. Also
It is a electric bike or petrol
Electric
I definitely would like that
Harley may get their tails bobbed off as soon as they release this thing ..a few years ago John McGinnis rode an electric Honda made by Honda Mugen Black Ops skunk works a few years ago at the famous Irish TT on the Island of Man. John finished first of course in the electric class that was just a fewr mph slower than the gasoline powered 4-cylinder Superbikes ....John was hitting speeds of 200 miles per hour and finished the three laps around the island of man on One battery charge. And there hasn't been another word said about Honda's electric Superbike I'm afraid of Harley drops this Live Wire Honda's going to Nuke the world with their electric super bike that'll put a really big hit on Harley
Well I wonder what the price would be for technology on the Honda. For instance, MotoGP bikes are hundreds of thousands of dollars and prototypes which will not be on production bikes for many years to come because of cost. But who knows. I would love to ride the Honda either way 🤣🤣
@@tat2wheelz .who knows ? Not very many as to what Honda can do and what they don't ever have to do ..and that is our huge big fucking problem ..Honda has never had to turn a profit from manufacturing. Motorcycles .... dealers take a loss in most sales and give you shit for your trade in that they will turn a 200% + profit on your trade in that does
not take very long to sell a used honda.and if a new bike in boughtv. with cash the dealer will makev. about $ 200 bucks on a 1000cc or bigger Honda today ..as back in the daysc of a CB750 Four we made about av$100 bucks per unit and sold about 20 to 30 four bangers per week with a profit if $2k to $3k / week just on four bangers..so where does honda of japan make billions of bucks every year ..they sel the worlds only half scale industrial earth moving and Landscaping Earthmovers bulldozers mining trucks cranes everything that it takes to rebuild a country after the United States goes in and blows it all the hell and it takes Honda's specialized equipment to fit in all those tiny towns with narrow streets. Like and since they came tothe united states in 1959 with the 50cc cub that would do 50mph with my neighbor and my self riding two up .as we weighed about a Buck o 5 ..and all Hondas at that time made more HP per cc than they do now ..and then ten years later they dropped their first "nuke" on the u.s.a. with the CB750 FOUR ..that cost about less than $300 bucks to build in Japan and that was the price they sold them for to the shippers ..the shippers double the price when they unload them on the west coast ports of entry !!!! As the trucking company .doubles the price to a warehouse company in clearing a suburb of Chicago ..and that is where the Buck stops as the Chicago warehouse doubles the price again ..as dealer cost ..and the dealer can double the price to you but like gas wars all Honda dealers try and cut the throats of all other dealers since the beginning ... So if you can follow me following the money ..when a honda motorcycle is rolled off the assembly line it is sold right then to a shipper and honda of Japan no longer has anything to do with as they aready have their money for it as is sold for the cost at no profit Venice Italy Venice Italy and in France and places like Baghdad where they're trying to save all the precious artifacts Honda is there with the worldwide contractors of the builder burger whatever they call ourselves that the United States and England hire at our tax dollar money to rebuild all the Antiques and pay Honda billions of dollars for their construction vehicles of all kinds so Honda sells their motorcycles at a loss and writeracketshe bikes to laundry thev billions they make off of real live tonka toys .of road graders bulldozers scrapers backhoes trackhoe everything that you see on a construction site at ground level....... Now back to this electric scooter that defies ohms law if you watch enough Honda Mugen videos I think I heard $170k in this Zero TT electric prototype ..the price is meaning less if you are catching on to how Honda is winning the pease after we nuked them with "fat man and little boy" ..and the japs have never really liked us since ..and really got pissed when the deal was minutes awayv from Honda buying out Harley Davidson in 1971 ..that was the first AMF ..a company from Japan who made basket balls and tennis rakets and Harley Davidson's ..that were deliberately sabotage at the factory tou give Harley a very bad name and like it still has and start all the fucking bullshit that's ran from mouth to mouth today sponsored by fucking Honda who do not ride their bikes they sell you but ride Harley-Davidson's today the number one motorcycle i nthe islands of Japan.. today Japan is buying brand new Harley from Milwaukee and importing them to a company in Japan calle d. Triyja who are rebadging our Harleys with the TRIYJA logos and selling them back to us the the united states with dealers ships in L.A. under the Japanese name of TRIYJA ..look it up as it is very interesting how brain dead the millennils. L's have became without a clue how they are being swindled
out of allof their money into the hands of foreign competition from namely China and Japan...so you can bet as soon as Harley is selling live wires at a profit ..Japan will drop the Mugen Zero TT with lights and turn signals on us ..and Harley will shelf another sport bike ..and take a hell of a hit ..that will feed the cat calls and slander of the millennial degradation they all have for the entire country of the United States as China waits for our demise ...they are already on the moon watching us.....China has military type of a bunkers to take to the moon for their first colonization that is about a year behind schedule but will happen on a personal note I cannot believe Harley-Davidson can Inot see what Honda is doing Matt Laidlaw of LA Harley had a half hour show on CZcams the other day bragging about the Livewire it'll do this and do that plugging along and one click I'm watching a Mugen going twice as fast and twice as far on a charge
@@tat2wheelz I used to work for Honda and attended several school where I learned Honda cars and motorcycles are not their money makers ..their main sources of income are miniature industrial excavating equipment that is sold to European countries that makes honda untold billions ..if Honda chooses to under sell the Harley live wire there is nothing in their way to do so ..as always Honda will wait until the electric Harley is popular and then stomp on them with much faster and longer running Hondas ..is what my warning to Harley is all about
@@tat2wheelz google the electric Mugen Honda moto G P ..there are tons if info about it as they are still making it go faster and farther on a single charge there technology is top secret with in the Mugen family who are related to the Japanese Honda family for years ..as back in 1979 I was racing a Mugen Honda CR250R Elsinore ..like I was saying Honda will sell a motorcycle below cost to fuck with harley as Honda had there foot in the door to buy Harley back in the 70's and its like the fight between henry ford and enzo Ferrari when at the last minute enzo backed out and ford has hated them ever since ..same with Honda who will do all they can do and put this electric Harley out of bussiness ..and just the other day Harley set a new world record for fastest production electric bike in the 1/4 mile ..so expect Honda to retaliate ..if they do will mean a new street electric Honda is just around the corner ..and have you seen Hondas line of motocross bikes all electric for 2021 ? Its coming fast .. As they are taking on the zero moto bikes and of course will win
With that range it's definitely just a showcase or... Well. Bike for people that are fine living with those limits. Must say though, it looks Harley, but modern. Like the ford mustang of nakedbikes. Really nice. Oh and too heavy too... I know i know, probably handles fine, but when street triple r n ktm790 weigh less than 195kg,this is a fat one
Completely agree
I meet with my girlfriends dad at the exact same spot just to look at bikes 😂
Thats how you meet dads 🤣🤣🤣
Too bad that annoying ancient Harley gas engine was constantly in the background.
Do you still need to have a license to ride that
Technically yes. It has motors
Crazy cool
I'm 250 pounds will it support me ????
With ease 😎
Cool bike. Would NEVER pay 30 grand for jt
Same
This bike is electric or moto???
Electric
You test a silent electric Harley following a gas Harley???? Really????
Can't help what the dealership uses to lead the test ride. You'll have to take that up with them. 🤷♂️
Akrapovic not gonna loves this bike
Haha exhaust companies will hate all electric bikes that's for sure
Awesome 😎
Its a good looking bike, but... cmon 30k!? Still tho imagine this bike with a petrol engine, i wud buy that
too much money I would buy a car with that.also can't hear it at all I want to live
If Honda decided to launch a street version of their Mugen TT at the same price ..Harley will eat this one also .. the Honda Mugen TT hit speeds of over 200 miles per hour it average a hundred and twenty on the island of man for three laps with no battery charge in other words it's about twice as fast in every area as the Harley Livewire. czcams.com/video/OYemA-YykwE/video.html
Wait, those are 30K????
To start....
Almost 30k for this
Exactly what I said. Very fun experience but well overpriced for the technology
love the concept and design. please change the sound to something less ear piercing. There has to be a way to engineer it. Something that keeps the "Harley sound' but more electric. I think the sound is a huge selling point and this sound is awful. - Millenial
Overpriced scooter 🤣
😂😂
Wonderful
$30k??? Oh no... I'll go for a Tesla Model 3
Except that there are no Tesla 3's at that price even used.
Like riding a big ass scooter. 😂
The least they could do to justify the price is for potential owner to modify the 'exhaust' sound, make it louder. If i ever gonna own this (very unlikely 😂) i will die the second i hit the road. People here drive their cars like they're on the verge to shit on their pants bro
I really want one but, someone would have to give one to me. : )
Haha same here.
Never ridden a Harley? Oh no. I owned metric bikes most my life then rented and bought a Harley. Super surprised that I could do almost all the wrenching on it, how well it handled, and the character of the bike. I also noticed Harley riders never make comments about metric bikes. Like never. That highlights how much metric guys bash Harley's and Harley riders. Really personal garbage. Hope your not that kind of guy, but you owe it to yourself and your subscribers to open your mind on Harley motorcycles.
If you are judging all riders based on video content then you need to ride more. Harley riders hate metric rides as much as the opposite however I am trying to venture into Harley more and try to find the allure of the brand. I think they are beautiful bikes but not worth the overall cost in my opinion. I love all two wheels but refuse to spend a boatload of money on one just for the name
No engine so I don't think you need a license
🤣🤣🤣🤷♂️
Good video
Glad you enjoyed
they say that it starts out at around 30 thousand dollars...
29800 to be exact
34,000 out the door after tax and licenses still want one. Garbage by Harley sold to idiots
Yea.. not every Harley costs 30 grand 😂
Yea you're right. The other one I looked at was 38k 😅
It's unbelievable how disrespectful you are to the traffic rules. You think you're cool but one day, it's gonna have a cost. Just please drive like you respect other people on the road.
What are you talking about?
I didn't know youre from Chattanooga
I'm from Cleveland but that's close to Chattanooga

Sad to say, but this bike is going to flop really really bad. Sorry but its true.
I think it already has. I don't think they are being made at the moment

What a piece of crap.......OOOPS was that politically correct BAHAHAHAH
The bike is 100% politically correct, thats for sure 🤣
Dude the way you ride, you're gonna get killed. Very unsafe. Ever heard of turn signals? They're not just for turning and not just for your safety.
Never rode the bike before. Didn't get a walk around. And I had no idea the route we were taking. Yet I made it back safe and sound. Good looking out though 🤷♂️🤜💥🤛
@@tat2wheelz Thanks for replying. As with any bike, one should familiarize themselves with all the controls. Motorcycling is fun. Safety is highly important. Since folks in cars aren't looking out for you, you have to look out for you. Ride safe!
@@januaryman169 i agree and I think the dealership should have let me get to know the bike before riding but they didn't. Ride safe

@@smy5607 I wasn't aiming to sound like a party pooper. People don't pay enough attention as it is. So we need to what we can to be seen. Or get a gas-powered bike and a nice set of drag pipes and be heard.
