The LiveWire One is only available in white or black.

The first motorcycle under the LiveWire brand was presented at the International Motorcycle Show on July 8, 2021 in Irvine, California. It didn’t turn out to be a new electric motorcycle. The machine called LiveWire One is basically the familiar one Harley-Davidson LiveWire with minor software updates. As LiveWire One, however, it has to do without a Harley label – both in the name and on the motorcycle. The color scheme is new. The LiveWire One is only available in white or black. The price is also new: At $ 21,999, the LiveWire One is around $ 7,000 cheaper than the previous version with the Harley label.

The LiveWire One no longer bears the Harley-Davidson label.

This is how the brand should work

LiveWire is intended to be an independent brand outside of Harley-Davidson function and build your own identity. The focus will initially be on urban mobility, which means that the current LiveWire will probably remain the spearhead in terms of performance for the time being. Conceiving electric mobility in the first steps for inner-city traffic is a strategy that some manufacturers are adopting on the way from combustion engines to electric motors. The Pierer Group as the mother of KTM and Husqvarna as a comparatively small manufacturer (270,000 motorcycles in 2020) as well as production giant Honda (17 million pieces in 2020).

This is how LiveWire is supposed to work

Harley-Davidson still operates from the same place it was when it was founded: Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The company headquarters has been in the same place since 1913. On Juneau Avenue. Just a block from the old Davidson house, whose garden was home to the first cabin to make motorcycles in 1903. LiveWire is deliberately not intended to take place at this location. The new brand is to be managed locally and virtually via two hubs in Silicon Valley and Milwaukee. LiveWire takes a similar approach to market development: the existing dealer network is to be used to give the new brand its own look&Feel to represent, but not under the flag of Bar&Shield. Supplemented by own showrooms at selected locations, independent of the existing Harley-Davidson shops.

What do you think of the first electric Harley?

Not bad at all, if not surprisingly good.

Electric motorcycles are not for me – regardless of the brand.

Conclusion

Harley CEO Jochen Zeitz gets old lady Harley really busy. Great cuts, sensible adjustments, well-known personalities, new products and finally the establishment of a new brand within the brand felt more changes in one year than Harley had in the past 120 years in total. May the company go the same way Puma did back then, when Zeitz set the sign of club sponsor Kreisklasse on world brand.
