Harley Davidson<\/a> entered the electric motorcycle<\/a> market a couple years ago with the LiveWire and split the name off as its own brand late last year. The company recently announced its second model, the LiveWire S2 Del Mar<\/a>, and the $15,499 electric motorcycle is now available for reservation in the U.S. with a $100 deposit. Deliveries are expected to begin in July, and the company said it would detail more performance and specifications closer to the release.<\/p>\n

The Del Mar goes up for reservations in Europe on April 27, and the company said it\u2019s offering a super-limited 100-unit launch edition of the bike for European buyers. Customers who can grab one of the launch edition bikes get the white paint with hand-applied graphics that LiveWire said takes five days to finish. The standard Del Mar is available in blue, black, or gray, and the company promises a 110-mile city range for the 431-pound motorcycle. The electric powertrain produces 184 pound-feet of torque and a 0-60 mph time of 3.1 seconds. Charging from 20 to 80 percent on a Level 2 charger<\/a> takes 75 minutes.<\/p>\n

The LiveWire One<\/a> is still the company\u2019s flagship bike, and it comes with a $22,799 starting price. Its range estimates extend to 146 miles, and the 0-60 time is a hair quicker, at 3.0 seconds. Offering a lower-cost bike will help LiveWire compete against the hordes of cheap electric products available online. Still, the company\u2019s pricing isn\u2019t entirely out of line with other established American companies.<\/p>\n

Zero Motorcycles\u2019 catalog is packed with high-priced electric bikes<\/a>, including some with $20,000-plus MSRPs. Just like cars, electric bikes are oftentimes more expensive than their gas-powered counterparts. The price gap is narrowing between the two, but it could be a while before electric motorcycles fall in line. While it\u2019s possible to spend a ton on a gas motorcycle, they are still considerably less expensive than comparable electric models.<\/p>\n
