From the article and brief video, it looks to be a very clean design.
Hats off to Harley Davidson.

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".)
