New Electric Bikes
LiveWire, the electric motorcycle brand spun off from Harley-Davidson, has unveiled two compact electric motorcycles aimed at making riding more accessible for newcomers. Revealed at the HD Homecoming festival in Milwaukee, these bikes feature smaller 12-inch tires and a low seat height of about 30 inches (76 cm), designed for ease of use.
Despite their size, these models promise notable performance with speeds reaching up to 53 mph (85 km/h) and a range of approximately 100 miles (160 km) thanks to removable batteries. LiveWire aims to provide an affordable option for young riders who may find current models priced between $16k-$17k out of reach.
Versatile Models
livewire introduced both a trail version and a street version of their new bikes. The trail model is tailored for off-road adventures like backyard riding or pump tracks, while the street model caters to urban commuting and new riders looking for an engaging hobby.
Even though pricing details are not yet available as the models are still in development, they are expected to be substantially cheaper than existing offerings from LiveWire. This could open doors for younger enthusiasts eager to enter the world of electric motorcycles without breaking the bank.
Exciting Future Ahead
The introduction of these mini e-motos marks an important milestone in LiveWire’s evolution as it seeks to attract a diffrent demographic compared to customary motorcycle brands. With many young riders gravitating towards smaller electric options like Sur Rons-often used outside their intended purpose-LiveWire’s new offerings could fill that gap by providing safe and reliable alternatives backed by over a century of motorcycle expertise.
the trail version promises fun off-road experiences while maintaining quality design standards that set it apart from generic products on the market.As excitement builds around these innovative bikes, they may well redefine entry-level motorcycling.
