With the entry of such important motorcycle brands as: Japanese and Italian, and of course Harley Davidson, and electricity is undoubtedly becoming a reality. Thus, it is only a matter of time before such motorcycles enter the market en masse. The livewire model is still a study for now, but it is already being tested on the road, which means that it can be very close to a version that could go into series production. Motorcycle type naked bike capable of 75 hp and 70 Nm of torque, and the drive is provided by an electric motor and 7 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, with the help of which you can with one charge overcomes distances up to 80 hp. The final speed should be approx 150 km/h, acceleration up to a hundred about 4 seconds.
Regardless of everything, the serial version will certainly gain some capacity (both in the form of power and range), and it is good for the industry that such "big players" are also entering the market, since only recently such a move by Harley Davidson you wouldn't even think.
