The Harley LiveWire is silent but deadly

- OK

We don’t normally do motorcycle­s, but the Harley-Davidson LiveWire is a bit special... the brand’s first all-electric bike. On sale next year, Harley promises “incredible accelerati­on” from the permanent magnet motor, mounted low and drawing power from a lithium-ion battery which can be recharged from a standard household plug socket, or a fast charger. The styling follows Harley’s tradition of drawing attention to the engine – only here the engine is an electric motor, not a V-Twin. We await the Hell’s Angels reaction with interest.
