Pros and Cons in comparison

Harley-Davidson LiveWire ELW 2022

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

Harley-Davidson LiveWire ELW 2021

The Livewire is a bold first step from Harley-Davidson. It rides cool and casual, but overall a little uncomfortable on longer tours. The sluggish turn-in behaviour is forgiven if you don't expect a classic naked bike. It is more likely to pass for a naked cafe racer. But only if the café is not too far away.

Fierce acceleration

super-tuned drive

high-quality traction control and sporty ABS

high-quality brakes and good chassis

low-maintenance overall concept.

Maximum charging power should be increased to further reduce charging time

in practice, unsuitable splash guard on rear wheel

fast charging stations in the Alps are still scarce

high weight causes understeer
