[EVDL] harley-davidson introduces electric motorcycle
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. http://www.wired.com/2014/06/harley-davidson-livewire/ (I'm wondering if the 53 miles is a misquote. Seems pretty minimal for this type of bike. However, the math does add up.)

From the article and brief video, it looks to be a very clean design. Hats off to Harley Davidson. Bill Dube' On 6/19/2014 8:10 AM, Peri Hartman via EV wrote: From wired.com: ...
