From wired.com:
... Harley isn't saying much about the drivetrain beyond saying the bike
uses a lithium-ion battery with a range of 53 miles. It charges in 3.5
hours at 220 volts. Assuming the bike has a 3.3 kw charging system like
other electric motorcycles, some back-of-the-envelope math suggests the
LiveWire uses a 10 kilowatt-hour pack. Twist the throttle and the bike
leaps forward with authority. Roll off the throttle and the regenerative
braking kicks in, bringing the bike down from speed with due efficiency.

(I'm wondering if the 53 miles is a misquote. Seems pretty minimal for
this type of bike. However, the math does "add up".)
