Project LiveWire
Here it is, Project LiveWire, Harley-Davidson's first electric motorcycle.
Project LiveWire
The New York City launch took place in the company's massive dealership, where the LiveWire took its place alongside all the other current H-D models.

Harley's CMO, Hark-Hans Richer, introduced the bike.

The LiveWire was lit up in purple and blue for the occasion.

And literally set up on a pedestal.
Project LiveWire
The headlight is situated in a vertical arrangement, but housed in a traditionally shaped enclosure.
Project LiveWire
The motor is situated in the bottom, a transverse-mount, so that the driveshaft points to the rear tire.
Project LiveWire
The LCD display is not only full-color, but is a touchscreen. And yes, it works with gloves on.
Project LiveWire
There's a brake lever on the right, but no shift lever on the left. No need, with only one gear.
Project LiveWire
Mirrors are positioned below the grips, and are made rather useless unless you happen to have transparent arms.
Project LiveWire
A rear shock in a traditional mounting position -- traditional for a sportbike, that is.
Project LiveWire
The skinny tank naturally holds no fuel, nor airbox for that matter.
Project LiveWire
There's plenty of branding to be found here.
Project LiveWire
We encourage you to try and count all the bar-and-shield logos on Project LiveWire.
Project LiveWire
Seriously, Harley-Davidson has scattered its logo everywhere on this bike.
Project LiveWire
Once more, on top of the tank.
