Nov. 5 2019 Announcements By ___

The future of motorcycles is finally here with the launch of the all-new 2020 Harley-Davidson LiveWire. If you’re in search of a bike that’s sleek, fast, environmentally-friendly, and big on fuel-savings, then this electric motorcycle is what you need! Harley is known for manufacturing the most reliable models with aggressive power and style and the LiveWire™ is no exception. When you’re ready to check out these electric wonders for yourself, visit Bartels’ Harley-Davidson in Marina Del Rey, California. We welcome all of our patrons from Malibu and Santa Monica.

Environment-Friendly

If you want to cut back on your carbon footprint, the electricity-powered LiveWire™ is the best choice. The bike doesn’t need gas so you won’t burn any non-renewable fossil fuels, which means zero emissions and no horrible smoke left behind. No doubt you’ll feel great about yourself and the environment when you ride one of these incredibly futuristic and eco-friendly motorcycles. Another benefit is that oil changes will become a thing of the past. No more having to deal with sludgy oil spills while changing the oil on your bike.

Amazing Performance

You might think you’ll have to compromise on performance in exchange for sustainability, but the fact is that some of the fastest bikes in the world are electric. These machines are engineered to provide lightning-quick acceleration that’s sure to fulfill your need for speed. Thanks to the instant torque, the power delivery is smooth and fast. You can go from zero to 60 mph in just 3 seconds and reach speeds of over 200 mph.

Staying Connected

Staying updated on your bike’s performance has never been so easy with the 4.3-inch full-color, liquid-crystal touchscreen panel on the LiveWire™. It displays stats like speed, battery status, and range. If you want more options, install the Harley-Davidson® Connect app on your smartphone to check motorcycle vitals like location and battery charge status. You’ll also get security alerts if the bike is moved, bumped into or tampered in any way.

Battery Power

The Harley-Davidson LiveWire is powered by a high-voltage, lithium-ion battery that can be charged at home or at a public charging system. Get a full charge overnight by simply plugging your bike into an electrical outlet at the end of the day. If you need a faster charge, visit any public Level 3 DC Fast Charge Station. In just 40 minutes, you can reach an 80% charge or get a 100% charge in as little as an hour.

On a fully-charged battery, you can expect to get 140 miles in the city or 88 miles of combined highway and stop-and-go riding. Of course, there can be variations in the exact range depending on how you ride and the weather and equipment conditions.

Cost Savings

While electric motorbikes cost more when compared to gas-powered models, they are more cost-effective in the long run. One of the biggest perks of the LiveWire is that you won't have to spend any money at the gas station. You'll not only save on fuel costs — your maintenance needs will also be reduced as electric bikes don’t have components like spark plugs, air filters, clutches, and gearboxes. With less to maintain, you’ll spend less time and money on service and repairs. That means you get more fun and less hassle from your LiveWire.

Whether you're looking to buy your first bike or are looking to upgrade from your traditional gasoline-powered motorcycle, you'll want to try these wonderful machines for yourself! Visit us today at Bartels’ Harley-Davidson in Marina Del Rey, California, to take the LiveWire for a test ride. Our friendly staff will be happy to answer any questions you might have!
