Harley Davidson goes electric, fossils stay away

Share on Google Plus


Harley Davidson introduces its first ever electric bike, proving that they'd exist even after the fossil fuel exhaust, the project live wire. This is the first powerful and exotic bike company to launch an electric bike. And as every Harley lover would know, the company has compromised nothing for the performance of the bike just because it runs without any fossil fuel.

Harley-Davidson says the belt-driven bike can accelerate from 0-60 mph in under four seconds, and has an electronically restricted top speed of 92 mph which is pretty much amazing if the top speed restriction kept aside. The prototype is powered by a longitudinally-mounted electric motor rated at 74 hp and 52 lb-ft of torque, on par with H-D’s 833 cc internal combustion engine. The electric power system was developed in association with the power train specialist Mission Motors.

As per reports, The current range of the development version of Project LiveWire is 53 miles per charge, but Chief Engineer Jeff Richlen says H-D will be soliciting feedback from current and potential customers to find out the sort of performance they’d expect from this type of motorcycle if it makes it to production.

That definitely proves that the speed machines are beyond fossils ;)
