The bike can travel around 110 miles within city limits (178 km) on a single charge. Harley Davidson did not divulge how many miles would that translate to on highways. The original LiveWire prototype that was showcased four years ago has a range of about 55 miles in 'economy' mode, the company had said. (Image: Harley-Davidson)

The bike is equipped with a telematics system called H-D Connect that uses LTE to feed data about the vehicle's performance, including battery status, service reminders and more via a dedicated app. Harley Davidson has claimed that LiveWire will be the first mass-market cellular-connected electric motorcycle.

![LiveWire will compete with Zero Motorcycles, which has often been referred to as the "Tesla of motorcycles". The two Zeros, Zero S and Zero SR, are relatively cheaper as compared to LiveWire, and are available for $10,995 and $16,495, respectively. It remains to be seen whether the 116-year-old legacy and Harley-Davidson brand will compensate the price difference between the two behemoths.
