Jalopnik: LiveWire Loses Almost $370 Million as Investors Flee, Forcing Harley-Davidson to Pick Up the Tab.

LiveWire Loses Almost $370 Million as Investors Flee, Forcing Harley-Davidson to Pick Up the Tab

Even after going public, the LiveWire EV spinoff is costing Harley-Davidson millions more than it expected.

Much like an EV car, an electric motorcycle only makes sense to me as a secondary bike, commuter, or city bike due to range issues. And since they are generally more expensive, not really any faster, and don't have much lower operating costs since most ICE bikes get good mpg, there isn't much compelling reason for me to consider one.

I'd perhaps buy a $3k electric scooter if it went 60mph and could go 60 miles though. But not a $15 to 30k motorcycle that goes 100-150 miles.

Earlier this year I saw a bike at a bike day at The Broken Oar with a Live Wire. Cool bike for sure. Down side was the fucking gigantic plug he has to carry with him to change the bike when he wasn't riding it.

Mine look like this.

 

[Spivitz]

Fuck it, ordered the Oakleys

 

[Aron]

I wear Oakley Flak 2.0, or at night my prescription Oakley Crosslinks.

I'm going to get some clear prescription lenses made for the Flaks for at night. The Crosslinks just don't cut it. Too light and not enough wrap around so they bounce a little at higher speeds. Almost lost em a couple times
