"In Australia Harley aims to release LiveWire in August 2020."

" The bike is powered by a 15.5Wh high voltage battery comprising lithium-ion cells "
" Harley Davidson says LiveWire will cost about $45k when it comes to Oz in August 2020 "
" There is no comparison to anything I have ridden it's light and agile and corners perfectly, you feel indestructable and safe "
