2020 Harley-Davidson® ELW - LiveWire™

2020 Harley-Davidson® LiveWire™

The first Harley-Davidson® electric motorcycle. Instant power and acceleration. Delivers a level of exhilaration unlike anything else.

• 0 TO 60 IN 3 SECONDS

Get instantaneous power the moment you twist the throttle. No clutch to release. No gears to run through. All you do is flick your wrist and take off.

• 235 KM CITY RANGE*

The LiveWire™ motorcycle features a high-voltage battery (or RESS; Rechargeable Energy Storage System) composed of lithium-ion cells surrounded by a finned, cast-aluminum housing. The high-voltage battery provides 235 km of city range or 152 km of combined stop-and-go and highway range.**

• TWO EASY WAYS TO CHARGE

Use the onboard Level 1 charger and power cord to connect to any standard household outlet and get a full charge overnight. For a faster charge, visit any public Level 3 DC Fast Charge station for 80% charge in 40 minutes or 100% charge in an hour.

• REFLEX DEFENSIVE RIDER SYSTEMS (RDRS)

A new collection of technologies that help give you confidence and control in less-than-ideal situations. The systems utilize advanced chassis control, electronic brake control and powertrain technology to assist you with accelerating and braking in a straight line or while in a turn.

• RIDE MODES

LiveWire™ offers seven selectable Ride Modes that electronically control the performance characteristics of the motorcycle and the level of Reflex™ Defensive Rider Systems (RDRS) intervention. Each Ride Mode consists of a specific combination of power, regeneration, throttle response, and traction control settings. LiveWire comes with four pre-programmed modes: sport, road, range, and rain, along with three ride modes the rider can customize.

Meet the world’s most connected motorcycle experience. With cellular telematics connectivity powered by Panasonic®, you can connect remotely through your smart phone using the latest version of the Harley-Davidson™ App. Check bike vitals like battery charge status, see its location on a map, and get security alerts if it’s been bumped, tampered with or moved.

Features may include:

• H-D Revelation™ powertrain

The permanent magnet electric motor can produce 100 percent of its rated torque instantly – it’s the reason for LiveWire™ motorcycle's incredible acceleration. It’s located below the battery to lower the center of gravity for easier handling.

• LIGHTWEIGHT FRAME

The lightweight cast aluminum frame is extremely rigid, and contributes to the precise, responsive handling that makes the LiveWire™ motorcycle a thrill to ride.

• FULLY ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION

The high-performance SHOWA® front and rear suspension is fully adjustable. So you can dial in comfort and handling with precision for your own riding style.

• H-D®/MICHELIN® SCORCHER® SPORT TIRES

The LiveWire™ motorcycle rides on premium 180mm rear and 120mm front H-D®/Michelin® Scorcher® Sport tires. They were designed exclusively to enhance the ride and handling performance of this ground-breaking machine.

• STATE-OF-THE-ART TOUCHSCREEN DISPLAY

A 4.3 inch, full-color, liquid-crystal, touchscreen display on the all-new LiveWire™ motorcycle keeps you constantly up-to-date on your speed, range and battery status. Customize it even more with information like music, turn-by-turn navigation, alert information and more.
