Double Feature at the Orangerie
Section: Arts
Harley-Davidson's electric division, LiveWire, has introduced a new compact electric lightweight motorcycle resembling the dimensions of a Honda Monkey. The unveiling took place during an event in Milwaukee, the brand's hometown, marking a significant step in the company's electric vehicle offerings.
The new lightweight motorcycles feature a minimalist design, consisting of a simple tubular frame, battery, seat, handlebars, and small wheels. According to Harley-Davidson, the electric motor is designed to offer performance comparable to a traditional 125cc combustion engine, with a continuous output limited to 11 kW.
Two models have been showcased: one designed for off-road use with rugged tires and elevated fenders, and the other tailored for street riding, equipped with road tires and essential lighting fixtures. Both models are equipped with removable batteries, providing an estimated range of approximately 160 kilometers. They are expected to accelerate from 0 to 48 km/h (30 mph) in just three seconds, with a top speed of 85 km/h (53 mph).
The intended applications for these mini motorcycles may seem unconventional to European markets, with the off-road variant aimed at trails and private lands, while the street-legal model is positioned for urban commuting and as an entry-level option for new riders. Harley-Davidson has indicated that various components, including the seat, handlebars, tires, graphics, and colors, will be customizable, allowing potential buyers to influence the final design before production begins. Interested customers can submit their preferences and feedback via the official LiveWire website.
However, details regarding the launch date and pricing of these electric motorcycles remain undisclosed. Additionally, the possibility of exporting these models outside the United States is uncertain due to potential tariffs imposed by the U.S. government, which could complicate international sales. Harley-Davidson previously faced challenges related to tariffs during earlier trade disputes between the U.S. and the European Union.
