Jakarta –
The manufacturer from the United States, Harley-Davidson, is certainly famous as a motorcycle manufacturer that presents a line of big, classic and arrogant motorbikes. However, they also have a line of electric motorbikes which are already present in Indonesia.
Yep! The electric motorbike made by Harley-Davidson is LiveWire and this motorbike can be purchased in Indonesia through Two Wheelers dealers from Glamor Auto Boutique.
“Introducing the Harley Davidson Livewire, a new level of electric power and performance motorcycles. This sleek and sophisticated motorcycle is ready to take the thrill of riding to a new era. This bike offers an unrivaled mix of style, innovation and acceleration. So buckle up and get ready to enter a new world of excitement on the two-wheeler scene!,” wrote Two Wheelers on their Instagram page @2wheelers.id.
This LiveWire electric motor is actually not new in the world. Harley-Davidson first released the concept in 2014 and LiveWire started out as just a dedicated research division.
Public acceptance was good enough to make LiveWire mass produced and as of 2018 Harley-Davidson has shown a model that is ready to be sold to the public.
This motorbike comes with a design that is quite radical and far from the classic Harley-Davidson character. Taking the roadster chassis model, LiveWire looks luxurious and classy thanks to the very considered details.
The iconic character of a Harley-Davidson can be seen from the model of the teardrop tank, to the model of the main lights which are covered in a small fairing.
Harley-Davidson designed this motorbike with a very ferocious dynamo. It is claimed that the electric motor can make LiveWire accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 3 seconds.
The electric motor is claimed to have 105 HP and 117 Nm of torque. Power is channeled to the rear wheels with the help of a belt typical of Harley-Davidson motorcycles.
The battery carried by this motorbike is a Lithium-Ion battery with a capacity of 15.5 kWh. Claimed with one full charge, this motorbike can go up to 200 km.
Interestingly, this motorbike is equipped with features that are not common in electric motorbikes. Starting from a driving mode that can be set at various levels, to charging that can support DC fast charging.
Two Wheelers sells this Harley-Davidson LiveWire with a tag of IDR 1.5 billion in off the road status. But they guarantee that this motorbike can also be taken care of and legal for use on Indonesian roads.
