However, the actual range may vary depending on a number of factors, as is the case with all electric vehicles. The motorcycle also offers a zero-to-100 kilometer per hour time of 3.0 seconds and allows riders to utilize level one charging via a standard outlet or available DC fast charging, which can go from 20 to 80 percent of a full charge in about 30 minutes.

The company’s focus on customer interaction and dealer events highlights its commitment to providing an exceptional customer experience. With impressive performance and range capabilities, the LiveWire ONE is poised to make a significant impact on the electric motorcycle market.
