Harley Davidson has confirmed the unveiling of LiveWire, its electric motorcycle in India, for next week. However, the bike won’t be launched anytime soon.
Harley Davidson has started its market in the electric vehicle segment, with its new production, Livewire. It is a production motorcycle, which was revealed some time back, but just for the global markets.
The LiveWire is priced at $29,799, that’s around Rs 21 Lakhs in India. In the USA, it is available for pre-order and the launch is expected to happen soon. So, Harley has now teased us with the LiveWire, as it has been listed on the company’s India website. It might be unveiled in India on 28th August.
It gets a 15.5 kWh capacity electric motor, which produces 105 BHP and 116 Nm of peak torque. The bike shoots from standstill to 100 kmph in just 3 seconds. The power figures seem alright but are actually lower than some other e-motorcycles.

The weight stands at a staggering 249 kgs. For safety, it also gets a 6-axis IMU-assisted ABS and traction control system as standard fitment. So, do you think Harley Davidson should launch the LiveWire in India?
